The city of Fashion
Barcelona is the city of creativity, the city of art, the city of bohemian authors and inspiring streets. It’s no wonder that an iniciative like 080 Barcelona Fashion, was born in this city. One of the first alternative fashion shows for emerging designers, and nowadays, the most important fashion show in the city.
The 080 Barcelona Fashion concept
080 Barcelona Fashion first came about in July 2007. Its aim is to provide a platform to increase the visibility of independent designers and to become a point of reference for cutting-edge design and fashion on an international level. The driving forces behind 080 Barcelona Fashion are creativity and innovation, without forgetting the importance of the market and the need to provide a commercial outlet for fashion.
080 Barcelona Fashion is an element of the Catalan Fashion Action Plan 2007-2010, a project of the Government of Catalonia’s Ministry of Innovation, Universities and Enterprise. The Plan was drawn up with the aim of reviving the textile sector, creating synergies with Catalonia’s already-thriving fashion design sector, while at the same time responding to the difficulties that independent designers face in producing and marketing their collections both within the region and elsewhere.
The Fashion Action Plan is based on five lines of action: internationalisation, linking creativity and industry, financial support, support to emerging talent and the organisation of a fashion event in the city of Barcelona intended to launch the Catalan capital onto the international stage in the field of design and cutting-edge fashion.
