The trends we saw in 080 (and that you may already have in your closet)

Catalan Fashion Week confirmed that tulle and sheer fabrics will continue to be a trend. And not only for evening wear—in darker colors—but also in pastel shades, white, or nude for looks More informal. Brands like Simorra, Cuenta Spain, 404 Studio, Custo, and Eiko Ai have taken this to the next level with suits, skirts, pants, jackets, and even a nearly invisible organza trench coat.

On the Barcelona catwalk, we saw how the pinstripe has positioned itself as an unbeatable classic. From its origins in the 19th century as a distinctive element of English bankers to its consolidation in executive wardrobes in the 20th century, this print has always been a symbol of power and sophistication and has never completely disappeared. Brands such as Lola Casademunt, Acromatyx, Rubearth, and The Label Edition have made their mark this week by incorporating it into all kinds of pieces.

At Catalan Fashion Week, tartan has made a strong comeback. Escorpion, AAA Studio, and 404 Studio are some of the brands that presented collections on the runway that deconstructed tartan. It's one of the most historic prints, and has evolved and represented different trends. It originated in Scotland, where it was used as a seal for each clan based on its design and pattern.

The black and white combination is associated with elegance that is both efficient and timeless. From the creations of Chanel, who made this chromatic duo the identity of her brand, to the present day, when designers and brands such as Guillermo Justicia, Cuenta Spain, Txell Miras, Studio AAA, Alvar Merino, Doblas, Maison Moonsieur, and Simorra have opted for this combination. A choice that works for any occasion and exemplifies the essence of quiet luxury, a concept that understands fashion with an unpretentious style, but carefully considered to the millimeter.

Two-piece suits have long since ceased to be an office-only option and have adapted to the new demands of comfort and versatility. From options oversize From masculine inspiration to more tailored designs, the shows by Lola Casademunt, Label Edition, Guillermo Justicia, Txell Miras, Doblas, and Simorra offered options for all tastes. Dark, brown, and gray tones predominate in these ensembles, which primarily consist of a jacket and pants.

The return of faux fur coats has been one of the big trends in the collections presented this week for when the cold weather arrives at the end of the year. From the colorful designs of Lola Casademunt to those opting for more classic colors like Doblas. Also featured are explosions of fur on ankles, dresses, and shoes for when the winter season arrives. Or even on pants, as one of the offerings in Anel Yaos' collection.

Voluminous skirts and suits have been repeated pieces in several 080 shows. Originally associated with glamour vintageBrands like 404 Studio, Cuenta Spain, Ernesto Naranjo, Guillermo Justicia, and María Escoté have taken them to the next level by using unexpected materials and asymmetrical cuts. In the case of skirts, they explore new combinations and merge them with more urban-style garments.

Often associated with coats and accessories, brands like Eñaut and Dominnico have demonstrated that leather is no longer limited to outerwear, but quite the opposite. It can also take center stage in a style after leaving the coat in the closet. Evening suits, skirts, tops, and two-pieces for any time of day have been featured. Faux leather jackets have also been seen, an iconic garment that, regardless of current trends, returns with greater force each season.
