Photos: 'Changing Room'

Last saturday we went to the "Frío 08" edition, one of the most innovative initiatives on Barcelona's fashion circuit.

The event took place at Born's Chic & Basic Hotel once again, with its rooms as the perfect stage for the 20 independent designers and their collections, including Comentrigo, Gonzalo Cutrina, Iris Morata and Gemma Degara among others.

And to make it more chic and go beyond basic, this year it also included sets by some gems of the local indie scene: El Guisante Mágico, Aeropuerto, Miss Carrussel and The New Raemon.

  • Behind The Scenes

    Following a slew of designer documentaries, has fashion lost its mystery?

  • No Circus - Impressions from The Brandery

    If you don’t know its predecessor, then the new brand showcase and trade fair might leave you impressed – pretty, slick and, for being Spain, reasonably well organised.

  • Photos: Dress For Success

    Local furniture maker Concepta Barcelona pulled out all stops at MACBA on Tuesday night for the presentation of the latest batch of artists invited to its Dress For Success project, in which the artists add a twist of their own to Concepta’s pieces.

  • Wear & Dispose

    Priced to make Zara and H&M look exorbitantly expensive and faster, and even less scrupulous, than Inditex at copying fashion designs, it's been a runaway (and throwaway) success everywhere it's opened.

  • Sample Sized

    With the opening of Alex Estilles and Xavi Lanau's brainchild, those delectable fashion samples will now be put on sale to the public. And naturally, being set up by PRs, everything in the shop is for sale.
