The final day of 080 Barcelona Fashion opened with energy and a hint of tradition returning to normal. A long queue of guests formed well before the show, reflecting a renewed sense of anticipation. 080 Reborn appears as a dedicated parade of secondhand garments, elevating the level of presentation beyond expectations, complemented by corporate showcases from Eiko Ai, Habey Club, Reveligion, Yolancris, and Menchen Tomas.
In line with the government’s circular economy initiative, the parade earned support from the Catalan Waste Agency, CCM, and Girbau LAB, with stylists and art directors in attendance. Fermin + Gilles, comprising Fermin Serret and Gilles Saint Martin, led the styling. Garments came from textile waste sorting facilities and secondhand stores such as Humana, Las Pepitas, Love Vintage, Victoria, Gi Joe Surplus, Flamingo Vintage Kilo, Fred Perry, Cóndor, Dr. Martens, and Armand Basi. The event drew a thirty-strong delegation from the regional government including the minister for Business and Employment, who arrived in a look suggesting they had stepped straight from a workshop, accompanied by a front row of officials. The presence of Teresa Jordà, the minister for Climate Action, Food, and Rural Agenda, along with Artesania i Moda, the director of the Trade Consortium, Agnes Russinólland, the Catalonia Waste Agency director, Isaac Peraire, and other leaders added weight to the occasion.
The first model to grace the runway was Catalan trap singer Lildami, followed by a cast that stressed diversity — from curvy figures to models with gray hair and varying heights and ethnic backgrounds. The collection carried a romantic thread titled Underwater Life, a project by Gloria Llado, which expands its universe to present designs inspired by the sea. The line reinterprets the kimono as a symbolic element, yielding a weightless, ethereal fantasy of underwater life. Fabrics include sheer translucencies, ultra-soft satins in vivid hues, warm glosses, and jacquards in multiple forms, all calibrated to evoke the feel of water pressure. The line nods to the brand’s fishing-inspired past while remaining fresh and contemporary.
Eiko Ai
The palette offered by Eiko Ai exudes optimism, lightness, and summer mood, with turquoise, lavender, silver, and neutral tones interspersed with pink and navy. Gloria Llado notes, “Ruffles mimic the movement of jellyfish, and we love the way frills add life.” A touch of red evokes the richness of the seabed, creating an extra feminine silhouette that feels both lively and elegant.
Habey Club
Habey Club made its Barcelona debut with young designers David Salvador and Javier Zunzunegui, who explained their slow fashion philosophy, despite releasing two collections each year. Fans from brands like Loewe cheered the Barcelona premiere, with plans to expand into multi-brand sales after the parade. The collection emphasizes conceptual feminine shapes with humor woven into the design, along with jewelry and bag lines crafted in their Elche workshop. The designers aim to make fashion feel accessible and joyful rather than overly serious in the post-pandemic era. They spoke of unification — a dream of weddings and family gatherings where conversation is the central moment. Finishes range across coarse and soft fabrics, satin and acetate gauze, with a trench-coat option blending classic suit fabrics with relaxed rib-knit sleeves. Zunzunegui described a balanced mix of traditional and modern touches that invites a broad audience to feel represented in the wardrobe of heroes, with varied lengths and collar styles enhancing the overall look.
The collection included dresses with structured silhouettes and openings at the sleeves, pants that balance rough textures with tailored lines, and carefully considered cardigans that read as both practical and chic. Each piece seemed to be borrowed from a friend who understands your size without fully knowing your measurements, offering a sense of spontaneity and individuality.
Religion
Maria Rodriguez, designer and creative director of Outsider, presented Outsider, a line exploring existence, commitment, and the places where growth can feel blocked. On the runway, models wore pieces characterized by volume and tulle that pushed boundaries and teased with dramatic silhouettes, pushing the audience to reconsider what is possible within contemporary fashion.
Yolancris
Yolancris continued its signature path, with Yolanda Perez drawing inspiration from music and art of the 1960s and 1970s. The brand remains faithful to timeless elegance, color, texture, and volume, delivering a pioneering boho style within the wedding dress sector. The Idyll collection channels the women of the 60s, featuring fabrics with bold prints and strong primary colors. Silhouettes play with volume, asymmetry, and the richness of fabrics such as taffeta, lace, silk, and hand-embroidered beads, creating a look that feels both modern and nostalgic.
Roll of Menchen
Olga Menchen closed the 30th edition of 080 Barcelona Fashion with a dedicated line for pret-à-porter, party, and wedding attire that straddles haute couture and bespoke dresses. The Rat Pack collection draws inspiration from a group of American actors and musicians, presenting executive dresses, diplomatic wool pieces, and Swarovski-embedded designs. The line also includes 3D-constructed volumes and a palette ranging from whites and lime to porcelain blues, with streetwear influences woven through some looks, creating a versatile and striking finish to the show.
