It has been said that Catalonia’s longstanding separatist identity is best characterised by its offerings to the creative arts. The capital, Barcelona has been ascribed a design temperament at odds with the rest of Spain – a mixture of ‘Reason and Craziness,’ Seny i Rauxa, that delights in the biomorphic forms of art-nouveau and surrealism yet which maintains an unwavering reputation for technical excellence. Fashion has been central to Barcelona’s mercantile history since the end of the eighteenth century with its textile industry maintaining it as a hub for high quality clothing production. From the 9th to the 11th July Andrew Gow will be there offering coverage of the city's fashion week.
Laurent (right), Art Director and Fashion Consultant for 080 Barcelona, has helped to mastermind the smooth running of this week's proceedings and it's because of him that Thierry Mugler's retropective will be showing this very evening! He also happens to be a huge fan of SHOWstudio. Here he is with the debonair Tet of Chinese Vogue.
