On the 13 – 15 July designers, entrepreneurs, cool hunters, buyers meet at the Brandery, Barcelona’s urban fashion show.
Aside from the rich and varied professional programme is Brandtown, where fashion brands interact directly with their public.
The programme is interesting and varied:
Brandstands where major brands like Custo, Replay and Superdry present their products to the public with fun, games and activities.
Exhibitions: Fashion & Art, Fashion & Fetish a mix of creativity, transgression and elegance in which artists, painters and graffiti artists will perform live to fill the show with avant-garde art, music and design.
New Talent Contest in which young designers from fashion schools get the chance to present their designs and win awards for creativity.
Brand Factory a multidisciplinary space for designer articles, handcrafts, and sophisticated or singular techniques.
Workshops. This is the fun part where you coaches and stylists can turn you into a catwalk model. Or you might like to learn moulage, fitting cloth directly onto a dressmaker’s dummy. Or perhaps design your own knitted cotton garment from a T-shirt roll. Or create a look-book from cuttings. Or create accessories, rag-dolls, ephemeral jewellery. Or…
Workshops are free when you book your Brandtown ticket.
