The 35th edition of 080 Barcelona Fashion takes place from April 1 to 4, at the art nouveau site of Sant Pau, transforming the Catalan capital into a global fashion hub. The event showcases the work of both local and international designers, celebrating creativity, sustainability, and innovation in the fashion industry. 

080 Barcelona Fashion serves as a platform for emerging and established brands, highlighting the latest technological and sustainable developments in fashion. This year’s edition is centered around the theme of "metamorphosis," exploring the intersection between art and fashion.

Across the four days, 24 fashion shows will showcase the latest trends from 24 designers. The number of brands presenting at 080 Barcelona Fashion for the first time has increased, attracting names that have previously been more associated with Madrid’s fashion scene, such as Ernesto Naranjo, Maria Escoté, Acromatyx, and Juan Vidal. 

80 international influencers 

080 Barcelona Fashion is held at the Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau, where visitors can enjoy the Open Area, a public space featuring large screens broadcasting the fashion shows live. In an effort to increase global reach, the platform will also launch a virtual showroom on April 30, offering Catalan brands and designers new opportunities for international exposure. 

More than 80 international influencers and 400 local ones are in attendance. "Today, the fashion world stops in Barcelona," said Moisés Rodríguez, director of the Consortium of Commerce, Crafts, and Fashion (CCAM). He emphasized that this edition is the "most international" in the history of 080 Barcelona Fashion.

Miquel Samper, the Minister of Business and Labor, highlighted the importance of the event in solidifying Barcelona’s role in the fashion industry. "080 Barcelona Fashion places Catalonia on the international fashion stage, positioning Barcelona as a global reference point for design and creative talent." 

This edition marks one of the last times 080 Barcelona Fashion will be held at Sant Pau, as organizers are actively searching for a new venue. "It’s true that we are in a period of transition, and we will likely move to a new location. We’re not sure if it will happen by October, but by April 2026, we will have a new reality," Rodríguez stated.

Beyond the main event, 080 Barcelona Fashion Connect – a business networking space organized by the Catalan fashion cluster – runs from April 30 until the end of May. This initiative aims to connect local brands with international buyers and strengthen the presence of Catalan fashion on the global market.
