Off the runway: exploring sustainability and inclusivity at 080 Barcelona Fashion
13/04/2024
Barcelona's take on fashion week is the bi-annual event 080 Barcelona Fashion, which this season runs from April 9 to April 12. The event has been held at the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site since 2013, and during the 33rd edition celebrated this week, a mix of 24 emerging designers and established brands presented their idea of what should be in vogue in 2024. Over the years, 080 Barcelona Fashion has gone from being a locally focused event to catching the eye of the international fashion world, thanks to its unique mix of Catalan textile tradition, sustainability, and diversity. In this episode, designers Eva Dimas of Simorra and Alejandra Valero of Hoss Intropia unveil their latest collections, and we also hear from 080 Barcelona Fashion's project manager Marta Coca, who explains how the event has evolved. Lorcan Doherty joins Lea Beliaeva Bander to talk about all things fashion. This week's Catalan phrase is 'passat de moda', which means 'out of fashion'.
