| Spring
Cleaning |
 |
 |
|
It
may be early, but with all the sunburnt guiris
parading Barceloneta, it certainly feels like
spring. So just as everyone's attention is turning
to summer, that's when 080
revs up its Fall/Winter 08/09 fashion week.
Anybody still wondering why it struggles to
make an impact? |
|
Perhaps
it's set purposely late to give our ailing local
designers a chance to 'take inspiration from'
trends that are successful elsewhere, but rather
than variations on "recession chic"
(seemingly always heavy on the first, light
on the latter part), my mind is more set on
spring cleaning.
And spring cleaning is just what's taken place
at Notariat 8, home to designer collective Comité
for the past seven years. Always a bit of a
hodgepodge of talent, the place has gotten rid
of some of its deadweight and is being re-launched
as Still Light tomorrow.
Founder and local catwalk veteran Cecilia
Sörensen is now joined by Txell Miras,
and the new shop-cum-gallery also stocks merchandise
from our fave London boutique Beyond
The Valley, the Danish Wood
Wood, and the Parisian collective, Surface
To Air.

With a result like this, then it might
be time to bring out the dusters at 080,
too.
