When fabric tells stories: a look at the latest edition of 080 Barcelona Fashion

080 Barcelona Fashion once again demonstrated in its April 2025 edition why it is much more than a catwalk: it is a stage where fashion takes on meaning through storytelling, emotion, and material. This edition reaffirmed its essence as a hybrid platform, where commercial brands and independent designers coexist, creating a vibrant ecosystem that celebrates creativity in all its forms. Far from being a simple succession of trends, 080 focuses on proposals with soul, capable of telling stories through silhouette, volume, and, above all, fabric.

The Catalan runway was filled with contrasts: nostalgia and modernity, sensuality and fantasy, structure and fluidity. Each collection offered a unique perspective, but they all shared one thing in common: textiles as the guiding thread of the message . There is fashion that screams and fashion that whispers, and in this edition, the language of materials was the true protagonist.

Some designers appealed to craftsmanship and the value of manual gestures; others to theatricality or emotional symbolism. Between established names and new voices, creative freedom and an author’s vision prevailed, with exquisite attention to finishes, textures, and construction.

At this crossroads of styles and generations, brands as diverse as Lola Casademunt , Compte Spain, Anel Yaos , and Juan Vidal shone for their understanding of fashion as a form of intimate expression. These designs transform fabric into a silent narrator of emotions, ideas, and beauty. Here are the most inspiring collections.

Lola Casademunt by Maite. 080 Barcelona Fashion

The Catalan firm presented its collection “ Misty ” Coast ,” a proposal for next fall-winter inspired by the misty sunsets of the Normandy coast. An enveloping and sophisticated aesthetic, true to the DNA of Lola Casademunt by Maite, which combines the classic and the contemporary with a very feminine look. On this occasion, the nautical spirit is reinterpreted with polka dots, chunky knit stripes, embroidered wools, and touches of bougainvillea, forest green, or sorbet pink that break the sobriety of black.

Lightweight materials like silk and viscose blend with warm textures like cool wool, and shiny details add a glamorous touch . A collection designed for a woman who embraces sophistication without sacrificing comfort or personality.

Lola Casademunt was founded more than 40 years ago in Cardedeu, Barcelona, when Lola Casademunt began handcrafting hair accessories. Her daughter, Maite Casademunt, joined the project at a young age, bringing a fresh vision focused on fashion design. Since 2018, she has led the company as president and creative director, leading both the eponymous line and its premium line, “Lola Casademunt by Maite.”

With “ Misty Coast ”, the firm reaffirms its ability to create coherent, elegant collections with a touch of daring that never goes unnoticed.Compte Spain. 080 Barcelona Fashion

Fashion as a fairy tale, fabrics as catalysts of magic. This is how “ Objet” presents itself. “Found ”, the collection that Santi Mozas , creative director of COMPTE SPAIN, brought to the catwalk in 2080. A prêt -à- couture proposal that transforms the enchanted symbols of classic tales—a glass slipper, a magic mirror, a golden thread—into a contemporary metaphor. Elements that, as in fairy tales, transform the course of history.

With 25 intentional looks, the collection reinterprets feminine codes through a sophisticated and theatrical lens. Shiny tweeds, sequins, sheer drapes, feathers, and handcrafted appliqués create a visual universe of textile richness. The burgundy, black, white, light blue, and taupe colors reinforce the play between the ethereal and the intense that defines the brand’s imagery.

COMPTE SPAIN is a Spanish brand that focuses on signature fashion. Its collections—handmade in Spain—are born from the imagination of fairy tales, but decontextualized, removed from the obvious narrative. The brand is committed to ethical and local production, respecting both the creative process and the artisans who make it possible.

“Object Trouvé ” is not just a collection, but a reflection on the transformative power of small details. A tribute to slow fashion with a narrative soul.

Anel Yaos. 080 Barcelona Fashion

Anel Yaos

With “MARÍA,” Anel Yaos transforms white into a poetic canvas on which to project emotions, shapes, and textures. A deeply personal proposal—inspired by her sister, her other self—that explores all the possibilities of this seemingly neutral color, yet full of nuances: chalk, mother-of-pearl, marble, bone… Here, white becomes a symbol of purity, but also of strength and refuge.

True to his naive and dreamlike universe, the Andalusian designer brings to life silhouettes that combine delicacy and drama, with layering, organic volumes, and a rich mix of fabrics that reinforce the collection’s narrative. Neoprene, lace, wool, knit, faux leather, and silk merge into an ethereal and tactile atmosphere, where each garment seems to speak from within.

“MARÍA” is not just an aesthetic proposal, it’s an emotional statement. Anel Yaos’s fashion channels generational sentiments: insecurities, yearnings, the pressure to fit in, and, at the same time, the search for pure and genuine happiness. Through white, the designer transforms silence into a serene cry.

Trained in various disciplines related to design, art, and communication—between Seville and Barcelona—Anel Yaos has built a brand recognized for its authenticity, tenderness, and ability to move without artifice. In this edition of 080, he once again reminded us that fabrics don’t just dress, they also caress the soul.

Juan Vidal. 080 Barcelona Fashion

Juan Vidal

In his latest collection, “He loves me, he loves me not,” Juan Vidal transforms vulnerability into visual poetry. Plucking the petals of a daisy is a symbolic act of uncertainty and searching. A playful gesture that, in the hands of the Alicante-born designer, becomes an aesthetic reflection on identity, duality, and the desire for certainty in an unstable world.

With her unmistakable emotional sophistication, Vidal constructs a collection where opposites harmoniously intertwine: rigid and fluid, matte and glossy, masculine and feminine. Pistils, petals, floral woodcuts, gabardines, and washed satins make up an ethereal and profound collection that fearlessly caresses indecision, elevating it to an aesthetic experience.

Trained in Fine Arts and fashion design in Barcelona, Juan Vidal is one of the key names in contemporary Spanish fashion. From his early days—when he won the FAD award for his student collection—to becoming a winner of awards such as the Who’s From Vogue’s On Next to the National Fashion Award, her career has been defined by impeccable technique, a masterful command of volume, and a conceptual approach that draws on both art and textile tradition.

On the 080 catwalk, Vidal reaffirms her highly personal vision of fashion: dresses that not only dress, but provoke, excite, and seduce. Because sometimes, truly powerful things come from embracing doubt.
