Barcelona Fashion Week
from guestIt’s no secret that Barcelona is the fashion capital of Spain and many would say of Europe with its multitude of stores in all parts of the city. Many come to Barcelona purely for the fashion scene which is just so difficult to deny. Here youwill find plenty of the hurricanes that has taken Barcelona by storm Palau de la musica catalana
Barcelona’s ritzy Passeig de Grcia and Avenida Diagonal may not be on a par with Big Apple’s 5th Avenue ( more DKNY than Donna Karan ). But the locals’ intrinsically fashionable tendencies are proven in the leading edge furniture and clothes on show in shops in town.
So_da might consider changing its name to the more appropriate Te_quila. The shop features an in-store bar ( and a DJ booth ), but the cute selection of urban gear can give the maximum amount of abuzz as downing shots on the way to the fitting rooms. At least your hangover will be gone by the time the Visa card bill arrives.
Clothing Label queens combine at Jean-Pierre Bua, a well-edited boutique for women and men that’s’s stocked with the greatest runway hits from the western european brands that Zara ( Spain’s fashion chain of choice ) knocks off so seamlessly. Youwill find Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCartney, and Jean-Paul Gaultier-as well as big-name shades and accessories.
Following the success of his tourist-jammed El Born boutique, designer Custo Dalmau opened a second shop, Custo Barcelona, in the Barri Gtic. Both carry his flamboyant men’s and women’s lines and, at virtually 100 euros, the most costly T-shirts in town.Another local favorite, Antonio Mir may be best known for his luxe treatment of such materials as poplin, rayon, and lightweight wool in impeccably tailored men’s suits. This store-which carries his men’s, women’s, and jeans lines-proves that even denim can be a cut above.
To paraphrase U2, Notnom is where the shop has no name ( notnom means’no name’ ) -unlike all of the edgy designer brands represented here, among them Helmut Lang, D2, and Miriam Ocariz, who hails from Bilbao. The no-attitude store tends to men and ladies, the street-smart and the complicated. Yohji Yamamoto Adidas sneakers are on view alongside seductive stilettos manufactured by Barcelona-based shoe designer Juan Antonio Lpez, who has been hailed as’the new Blahnik.’ Barcelona ferries
So why do you get out there and make your way to Barcelona and experience the hype behind the fashion capital of the Mediterranean and return with a wardrobe that’ll be the envy of all of your buddies
