080 Barcelona Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2008

Since fashion has been major industry in Barcelona since the end of 18th century, so it’s just natural for the city to hold a special event called 080 Barcelona “Fashion is Everywhere”, an event that occurred on July 09 to 11 that turned the city into a fashion festival with fashion shows, showrooms, conferences, exhibitions and special sales. Below are some of the photos from the show

Yiorgos Eleftheriades

Urban sci-fi is the main theme of the show. The collection is all about geometric silhouette and bondage inspired belts and bands to accentuate the body. By mixing a sharp, geometric silhouette and graphic accessories with soft, natural fabrics Yiorgos tried to infuse a futuristic element with a very casual everyday attitude.






Roberto Piqueras
The collection is inspired by Nu Rave. Transparent shirts for men and most of them somehow resembling a plastic bag, Geometric prints, high-waisted pants.

Thierry Mugler Retrospective

One of the main attractions of the event was a major retrospective show depicted the long career of design doyen Thierry Mugler.

Hintmag Lee Carter made a video of the show here.

I love Mugler's innovative design. He really played on the women’s shape.I think the video that really higlighted his edgy, over the top sexuality and revolutionary design is George Michael "Too Funky" with Linda Evangelista, Tyra Banks and Julie Newmar.
