Yes, the country with party town Ibiza and weekend-getaway Mallorca also boasts a sexy and fearless fashion scene.
Welcome to 080 Barcelona Fashion Week, a four-day feast for your sartorial-inspo-starved mind and soul that features young labels with a strong point of view and an excitement to champion diverse Catalonian cultures. In the past, we’ve witnessed canon Spanish designers including Balenciaga, Paloma Wool and Desigual opting for fashion weeks outside their country.
