Eventful Week in Barcelona

14 June 2010 By Vera Ciria 2 In Events, Exhibitions, Fashion

As fate would have it, there seems to be an overbooking of events and activities this week in Barcelona. There are only two options: spread oneself very thinly over the course of the week or try to make the terrible decision to miss out on a few of the offerings.

3D, Barcelona, catwalk show, Chicks on Speed, DHUB, Dudua, Festivalet, fontcuberta, grec, i love muffins, mnac, Modafad, model management, montjuic, paris vintage, pecha kucha, Raval, sala apolo, sonar, spectra, star wars, star wars fans, subway, teatro riereta

What Remains is Future – Pasafad

02 February 2010 By Vera Ciria 1 In Events, Fashion

The 29th edition of Modafad was held this past weekend. This twice yearly event consists of Pasafad, a catwalk show of emerging designers and Merkafad, a one-day showroom offering the possibility to meet the designers participating in Modafad and buy their creations. This time around, the venue was the DHUB, which on the one hand was very beautiful, but on the other hand was cramped and its’ cobbled terrace made more than one model stumble.

080 Barcelona Fashion – Last Day

29 January 2010 By Vera Ciria 0 In Fashion

Yesterday was the last day of 080 Fashion Barcelona. It has been a great three days, although the organization was ever more frazzled as the days went by. It was quite a monumental task to take photos due to the lovely Elizabeth Jagger strutting down the catwalk for Krizia Robustella and Tramando.

Outumuro Looks at DHUB

Fashion photographer Manuel Outumuro has just inaugurated a new exhibit this past Friday at the DHUB in Borne. It’s always terribly exciting when a fashion exhibition finally rears its’ head here in Barcelona, as that just does not happen all that often. So off I went this past Sunday to view Outumuro’s images.

Sugar Rush at Modafad

18 September 2009 By Vera Ciria 6 In Fashion

Sugar Rush by Kitsch & Bizarre ticks all the right boxes that give me a head rush when dealing with clothes. Sweetly sexy without being sickly due to such bizarre elements as animal and doll heads used as decorative motifs. It’s like if Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dali had a child while on some sort of psychedelic substance. Feathers and fur, frills, tulle, fabulous prints, eye and animal motifs, a sumptuous color palette, all dusty roses, dirty greens, mellow yellows, off-whites, rich chocolate browns… enough to make the mouth water.
