Lovely Convent Sant Agustí, once again it was necessary to make our way down to Borne to see yet another fashion market held there. Zapato Rojo was on this past weekend, the 19th and 20th of December 2009. The difference this time around was the load of really interesting proposals.

I caught up with the lovely Nuria the other day and was able to ask her a few questions about the gorgeous and kitsch collection that she produces under the name of La Virgen de los Broches which translates to The Virgen of Brooches. I had a excellent time with her; she has a contagious laugh and bags of inspiration.

Pulgas Mix

29 October 2009 By Vera Ciria 2 In Events, Fashion

This past weekend, (24th and 25th of October), was the 15th edition of Pulgas Mix. Evoking the sensations of flea markets around the world, the event is a platform for young designers to show off their goods in a relaxed atmosphere. This time around, the market was held at the Sant Agusti Convent in Borne. All types of activities were planned during the two days such as different DJs, workshops and cinema projections, to name just a few. The atmosphere is festive and there are usually a good amount of visitors during the two days.
