We count down the best bits\u00a0from Barcelona Fashion Week.<\/p>\n
Amid all the furor surrounding the big name fashion weeks, you might not have noticed that Barcelona had its very own five days of fashion\u00a0earlier this month. 080 Barcelona Fashion, now in its 17th edition, attracted over 42000 people with\u00a0the usual host of bloggers, buyers and press all present and correct – \u00a0including,\u00a0of course, Wonderland<\/i>. As well as a packed schedule of shows and presentations, the event’s organisers found time to honour one\u00a0of Spain’s most iconic\u00a0fashion exports, the legendary Manolo Blahnik. Minister of business and knoweldge, Jordi Baigetthe, praised Blahnik, highlighting “the\u00a0talent, the creativity and the penchant for meticulous work” shown throughout the shoe maestro’s illustrious career. As for the collections shown, what better way is there to catch up with proceedings than with an easily digestible list of our top seven\u00a0looks? Exactly.<\/p>\n
Miriam Ponsa<\/strong> Miriam Ponsa\u00a0channeled ’90’s Helmut Lang and the moody-futuirst spirit of Rick Owens for \u00a0her standout collection this season: bondage strap detailing, a colour palate of black and grey, and a whole lot of heavily zippered outwear made this a seductively dark vision from the Barcelona-based designer.<\/p>\n Pablo Erroz\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Pablo Erroz kicked off his show with a kinetic dance display and a high-production value lightingscape – a fitting opening to a collection preoccupied with re-contextualized activewear. Slinky, blooming wool trousers were belted with\u00a0mountaineering clasps and sport-bottles were slipped into utilitarian, fleecy pockets: some genuinely fresh takes on sportswear here, that\u00a0very well-trodden pool of inspiration.<\/p>\n Aldomartins<\/b><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n It was a bo-ho inspired affair over at Aldomartins this season, with patterned ponchos and puffed sleeve-heads lending a flouncy, airy quality to proceedings. Elsewhere, cosy outerwear with fur trim and wide cut trousers nodded at the ’70’s without descending into pastiche.<\/p>\n Brain & Beast<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n A shock to the system amid more some of the more conservative designers at 080 Barcelona, this\u00a0punchy postmodern collection from Brain & Beast meshed a Moschino-esque appreciation of logo culture with diverse casting and a high-camp political streak: tongues were placed firmly in cheeks.<\/p>\n Lupo Barcelona\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Usually known for their handbags, Lupo Barcelona expanded things this season with a full range of apparel. Highlights were arctic-ready cropped parkas in pillowy cream woolens and diamond down quilt dresses. Not forgetting that killer luggage and accessories too.<\/p>\n
