More than 300 pieces have been exposed during the ten months the exposition has last, changing the clothes for new ones three different times.

The 080 Barcelona Fashion starts today its thirteenth edition, which will remain in constant activity until this Friday 31^st of January. This time, the chosen place for the event has been El Born Centre Cultural, for its emblematic relationship with fashion and trade.

The 080 catwalk is the best way to internationalize the catalan fashion. It is for this reason that the number of fashion shows has increased this year, coming to a total of 34. In the five days that this event last, the new clothing ideas for the winter season 2014/2015 will be shown. 

Welcome!

Behind the title “Made in Barcelona” (“Hecho en Barcelona” in Spanish) we want to create a space where the fashion from the catalan city is the main protagonist. With this target, we will cover all those events related with the textile sector, a sector which has been working really well this last years in Barcelona.The events will go from the most important ones, like the 080 Barcelona Fashion Week, to others like the opening of little shops of designers from Barcelona who are, for now, still unknown.

We are very happy to start this initiative and we hope you are as interested as we are in this subject! 

Thank you for reading!
