080 Aesthetics 

One of the novelties of the 33rd edition of 080 Barcelona Fashion is 080 Aesthetics, a multi-disciplinary space devoted to digital art and music, which brings together internationally renowned artists linked to the world of fashion and innovation. 

With entry to the catwalks at a premium, this new space is open to the public "and to the city of Barcelona," organizers said. 

080 Aesthetics is an initiative that seeks to create a space for dialogue and reflection by creators, designers and the industry in general, "exploring new forms of expression, consumption, and interaction in the sector." 

Transforming the fashion sector 

080 Barcelona Fashion is a fashion platform that strives to promote the transformation of the fashion sector through technological innovation, while working to make Catalonia a vehicle to communicate the change in the fashion sector both nationally and internationally. 

It also supports the Catalan labels in their transformation and positioning and promotes sustainability, circularity, diversity and inclusivity.
