Bibian Blue S/S 2011 at 080 Barcelona Fashion

15 July 2010 By Vera Ciria 0 In Events, Fashion

What a pity to have scheduled the first catwalk show of the second day of 080 Barcelona Fashion at 12:00 noon. Empty seats were painfully evident, which is everyone’s loss, as Bibian Blue pulled out all the stops with her newest collection of lingerie.

Titled “Lovelace Boudoir”, the collection is a lush and juicy journey through past eras, from Edwardian and Victorian corsets to nightdresses of the 20s. Lace, tulle, embroidery, and feathers were just a few of the materials on display. The show was divided into two parts, starting with structured garments, contrasting textures and a game of hide-and-seek, where skin was the key player.

Midway through the show, a haunting voice rang out. A lavishly attired opera singer floated along the catwalk, singing magnificently and was a sight to behold. After an enthusiastic round of applause, the second half concentrated on a more romantic concept, with an abundance of flowers and bows. Delicate, sweet, sexy, each of the pieces were a crafted piece of fashion art.

Skin art in the form of painted-on lace tattoos, adorned arms, shoulders and necks, looking almost like jewelery, gloves and collars. For some this may seem as an overload of visual information, but each detail is placed carefully, each tier of ruffled lace has its purpose and meaning. This was a collection to delight the senses and it felt like each of the garments could almost be tasted. The mouth-watering colours heightened the flavours: strawberry reds, oozing caramels, crushed blueberries, wine red, cupcake pinks. Enough to leave one with a growling stomach.

The day continued with collections from Krizia Robustella, Yiorgos Eleftheriades, Alexis Reyna, Juun. J and Manuel Bolaño.
