You'll find the most original and daring Catalan designs around, including the latest creations by Carlota Oms, winner for two consecutive years of the 080 Barcelona mega fashion event; original pieces for men from Martin Across; 'optimistic fashion' by Paloma Suarez; and deluxe sport clothes from Krizia Robustella.

Rounding out the bill of essential brands setting trends this season are timeless 'made in Barcelona' designs from small ateliers in the city including Colmillo de Morsa, practical and fresh pieces from Dos Ocho Cinco, casual clothes for urban women from Pinc by Ana Tichy, unisex fashion from IKA, contemporary footwear courtesy of Deux Souliers, urban pieces by WHO, espadrilles by Naguisa, and accessible and contemporary designs from Le T-Shirt Fantastique.

Maïa Vidal, The Sinners and Iramis & Mel Semé are the music stars of this edition, and the Plom Gallery – the first contemporary art gallery aimed at kids – is in charge of the children's workshop.
