A temporary store in the heart of Barcelona brings together four emerging brands selected by the City Council’s fashion entrepreneurship program, open to the public until November 22.
Barcelona beats to a creative rhythm with the opening of ‘Barcelona Fashion Forward: The Pop Up’ at Trent. The initiative, promoted by the Department of Culture and Creative Industries through the Disseny Hub Barcelona and in collaboration with Barcelona Activa, arrives just after the latest edition of 080 Barcelona Fashion, which once again highlighted the strength of the local scene. The Pop Up offers a showcase in the city center to discover new collections and connect with processes, materials and narratives that frame fashion from Barcelona to the world.
The four brands selected for this sixth edition reveal a rich spectrum of sensibilities. Alaire explores life by the sea and local craftsmanship, creating timeless ready-to-wear and accessories. Guillermo Justicia merges art and nature through conceptual universes and tactile experimentation. Maison Admire designs handcrafted bags using biomaterials and 3D-printed biodegradable handles, bridging technology and artisanal tradition. Nimph, founded by Patty Mañá, builds an alternative fashion ecosystem based on local production, where grunge codes meet ethereal delicacy. Inside Trent, their collections coexist in dialogue, reinforcing the idea of Barcelona as a living laboratory of fashion.
Barcelona Fashion Forward (BFF) offers mentorship, training and visibility to designers and brands with a sustainable and international vision. Over six editions, the program has supported dozens of projects that now form the creative backbone of the city’s independent fashion scene. The Pop Up concentrates that energy in one address, inviting visitors to encounter the next generation of Barcelona designers up close.
