Body – XXI BAU Student Show

09 June 2010 By Vera Ciria 0 In Fashion

It’s that time of year when the student shows roll around, you can smell the exhaustion and stress in the air. A huge, gigantic, enormous world away from the talents rolled out each year at prestigious fashion colleges such as Central Saint Martins in London, Barcelona does manage to churn out a few interesting students.

Cup&Cake Barcelona

It was about time that someone realized the need for cupcakes here in Barcelona had become epic and corrected said situation by opening a place to indulge all those crazed sweet tooths. Cup&Cake is the city’s first boutique cupcake shop to cater almost specifically to these sweet confections.

Masses and masses of ruffles. Flounces, beads, jet black stars, mountains of lace, an infinity of tucks and gathers. This can only mean one thing: haute couture. What significance does this oh-so-perfectly confectioned genre have today? Is it really dying out? Can something be done to prevent its extinction?
