Made in Barcelona
To boost the national and international presence and growth of Catalan brands, BBFW will feature ‘The Edit Barcelona’ space, which will bring together local companies with growth potential.
Along these lines, Albasarí Caro notes that “this space is a sign of BBFW’s commitment to Barcelona-based companies, as well as its desire to boost their visibility and presence in the market. The space will host from emerging firms to artisan workshops that preserve the rich Catalan textile tradition, becoming a true ‘incubator’ of fashion for the brides of today and tomorrow.” For the firms, she adds, “it will be a new opportunity to connect after last year’s Barcelona Goes Bridal initiative at BBFW and also at the meetings that we hold regularly at the show to encourage the exchange of ideas, opportunities, challenges and solutions among all of them.”
Additionally, ‘The Edit’ aims to diversify its offering and highlight the importance of innovative design, and will therefore host other national and international brands that prioritize customization in their bridal dress designs.
