The 33rd edition of the 080 fashion show has wrapped up, leaving us with a good taste in our mouths, and many with a bit of a hangover after the closing afterparty…
We’ve had four intense days where we’ve witnessed a lot of innovation and creativity. Many brands have made striking new ventures, presenting proposals that are in tune with current times, each marked by a unique flair, giving voice to avant-gardes and the latest trends.
This week, influencers, photographers, designers, and leading faces from the country converged at the Sant Pau Modernist Venue to enjoy collections from 24 designers and brands. Under a unified theme of innovation and creativity, they have provided fresh inspirations for the upcoming autumn season.
We highlight technology as one of the most relevant points, and unique staging proposals like Sita Murt, which set up an orchestra in the middle of the runway where models walked around to the rhythm of harmonious music, or Eñaut with a DJ set in the center of the catwalk, getting all the guests dancing on the same runway.

stands out as the favorite of the week. With a full house, the brand does not disappoint with its bold, outspoken proposals. Domingo Martínez has impressed us once again with his latest designs, always keeping up with the latest trends and focusing on innovation and technology. The collection features eye-catching garments, colors, materials, and bold textures, using the brand’s best-selling silhouettes, electrified and charged, always accompanied by a techno soundtrack. This new collection is marine-themed, in the distinct Dominico style, using elements like blonds, rivets, grommets, and metal pieces, arches, and the incorporation of artificial hair, drawing inspiration from the Renaissance. The most notable materials of the collection are denim, leather and recycled fur, corduroy, gold and silver laminate, and vinyl. As for colors, classic pastels dominate with appearances of lime green, oxygenated denim, and browns, as well as rhinestone inlays. The show featured a very special surprise with Samantha Hudson appearing as a model, who was met with applause from the audience.
A brand distinguished by its unique style is The Label Edition, a digital fashion label based in Barcelona that captivates lovers of Parisian chic. Founded in 2019 by Véronique Von Siebenthal and Laura Johansson, this brand offers eye-catching garments with oversized silhouettes and bold shapes that stand out for their originality. Tailoring cuts are increasingly prominent in their collections, which skillfully combine sophistication, fluidity, and above all, comfort, creating perfect elegance for everyday wear. Among the standout pieces of their new ‘Unfolding’ collection, presented on the Catalan runway, are shirts with puff sleeves and delicate ruffles, which are an essential part of the brand’s distinctive style.
The brand that made a triumphant return to 080 Barcelona Fashion, after some years away from the runway, was Sita Murt, taking the opportunity to celebrate its centenary. “In these challenging times, reaching 100 years is a considerable achievement, and we are very proud to continue sharing our vision of fashion,” explained Montserrat Figueras, CEO of Sita Murt. In the show honoring this long history, knitwear was essential, forming the heart of the collection. “It’s a fundamental part of our DNA and represents the spirit of the brand. We could not abandon our essence or our legacy,” she added.
