For the past few seasons of 080 Barcelona Fashion Week, fashion insiders from across the world travelled to the heritage site of Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau to see offerings from the most exciting designers in the city. This time around, the event found a new home situated right on the water. Tucked away at Port Vell, the new show space was located on a pier stretched between between Rambla del Rompeolas and Marina Vela. 

Marking its 37th edition, this season took place over four days and hosted 26 shows. A mix of some of the more seasoned Barcelona-based designers, newer labels and some new international brands, the week was an electric mix of talent from across Spain and beyond. 

Here are seven of our favourite collections from the week. 

AAA STUDIO

Founded by Arnau Climent, AAA Studio is a concept brand looking at the link between the performing arts and fashion. The collection “¡¡¡Señora, suélteme el brazo!!!” (Let go of my arm, ma’am!) mixed punk-rock-inspired aesthetics and more wearable streetwear pieces. With neutral tones, punctuated by sharp hits of colour and bold text, the collection also featured tops and trousers embroidered with plays on the word "gay", bringing some humour and a taste of Climent’s theatrical background.

DOMINNICO

A regular name on the Barcelona fashion calendar, DOMINNICO celebrated its tenth anniversary with the "Soft Armour" collection. The collection showcased the signature styles Domingo Rodríguez Lázaro does best, including bright, defined silhouettes, playful textures and a blend of dramatic genderless pieces. Materials like leather and denim were juxtaposed with pastel tailoring and lighter outerwear.

The casting and styling also paid homage to the brand's roots in club culture and its wider creative community. The show featured Tayce on the runway, Violet Chachki in the front row and closed with DJ and model Sita Abellán, in a nod to the brand's Spanish origins.

REPARTO

Last season, Margil Peña and Ana Viglione delivered one of the standout collections, inspired by internet culture and the early days of Tumblr. This time around, the duo presented "BLACKLOT", a collection inspired by the idea of the film backlot, which examined staged environments and constructed realities.

Historical theatrical dress codes were referenced through long coats, corseted silhouettes, and high necklines, but these elements were given a contemporary touch with animal prints and fun accessories such as the "I LOVE ME" caps the brand made for the collection. Consistent with past seasons, the duo also worked with upcycled materials and used moulage to construct some of the garments.

NAZZAL STUDIO 

A former Dazed 100 brand, Nazzal Studio was founded by Sylwia Nazzal in 2023. Last week, Nazzal arrived at 080 Barcelona Fashion Week for the first time and presented one of the standout collections of the week. Made in partnership with artist Jad Maq, the collection ‘Al-Najah’ drew on Bedouin life in Bilad al-Sham [a historic term for the Levant region], using traditional materials and techniques.

Leather, silk, latex and metal were combined with pigments made from natural sources like henna and indigo – seen on a hand-painted henna keffiyeh. Elsewhere, other details included embroidery and surface work, which referenced Palestinian tatreez and Bedouin tattoo symbols.

DOBLAS

This season, Carlos Doblas continued to work through his signature deconstruction with “Collapse”. With a focus on imbalanced proportions, the jackets were cut shorter at the front and longer at the back, and paired with trousers that shifted in length. Tailoring was still the base, especially the tuxedo, but it was loosened and broken up through patchworked fabrics and irregular construction. The collection was a perfect continuation of everything Doblas has built over the past few seasons, completed with subtle 1960s references throughout. 

HABEY CLUB

Another consistent designer on the schedule, Habey Club, returned with a collection titled “Just One More Try”, exploring themes of repetition and second chances. The designers incorporated knotting and gathered fabric to manipulate the silhouette, particularly in outerwear. This detailing added volume to jackets and coats, while trousers were styled low-slung and relaxed. 

Expanding the paper butterfly set design on the runway, models walked out with butterfly headpieces that brought a poetic touch to the collection's idea of rebirth. The colour palette was noticeably brighter than previous seasons, providing a welcome contrast to the collection's heavier textures. Founders David Salvador and Javier Zunzunegui proved, once again, that clothes can be conceptual and still very wearable. 

EÑAUT

EÑAUT concluded the week with “Ego Dissolution,” a collection controlled in its palette and structure. Closed by model Dalton Dubois, the show reflected on undergoing personal growth and emerging as a ‘stronger version of oneself’. Featuring a predominantly monochromatic line, some looks had accents of forest green, black, and grey. The collection also took inspiration from ice hockey costumes, evident in the padded sections used to symbolise a protective volume around the body.
