After the midway point of the 32nd 080 Barcelona Fashion, and all the proclamations and proposals for 3D digital art and technology and denim ‘upcycling’ have been launched with the second call for 080 Reborn, this Thursday has been a tight marathon of parades (and backstage races). The two firms that were making their debut in Barcelona, the Canaries, have given the start Like trout to trout and the Huelva native Lemachet. Below are other firms that already know the catwalk of the Sant Pau modernist precinct: All that she loves, Nathalie Chandler, Outsiders division, Amlul and Dominnico.
Like trout to trout
Palm Springs and a trip last summer along Route 66 made by Amanda and Adonais, a couple in real life and creators of the Canarian bathroom specialist brand, inspire their party and cocktail collection ‘Uhlalá resort’: 26 ‘looks’ to triumph those afternoons by the pool while the DJ plays one song after another (in his parade there were two girls who livened up the session).
Lemachet
It was also the first time in 080 for Lucia Sanchezdesigner born in Almonte (Huelva), who has presented ‘I am, but’a collection that plays with the concept SAMO (the same old shit; the same old shit). The excuse to reinterpret traditional tailoring concepts, with new cuts, silhouettes and materials.
All that she loves
The Catalan designer Clara Esteve, specialized in ‘swimwear & intimates’, has presented ‘The Lighthouse’, a collection inspired by the Costa Brava. There has been no shortage of giant floats to relive the excitement of summer and vacations.
Nathalie Chandler
Belgian designer Nathalie Chandler has been inspired by elegance, power and elf femininity, but in an urban and deconstructed way, for its new Fall 2023 capsule collection called ‘Urban Elves’. They highlight the fur and fur coatsand muted tones.
Outsiders division
The designer David Mendez Alonso returns with clothes for all the adults who have not yet grown up in his collection’Extraordinary‘. The pieces in this collection include tulle skirts, sweaters and classic cardigans. The creative has generated a whole world of fantasy, color and fun with their clothes.

The designer Gala Gonzalez has presented its versatile and timeless designs that celebrate the beauty of being a woman. The ‘The Secret Garden’ collection has focused on dress silhouettes that were already successful with other new proposals in a “very British” color palette, as the creator herself defines. The pieces are made in Spain with a sustainable process. “We want it to be an investment, that people bet more on quality than quantity. Also that they are patterns that adapt very well to bodies“explains González. The blogger has also debuted a wedding dress. “The concept is a real woman who has real needs. We want them to feel beautiful,” concludes the designer.

The collection ‘Maemuki‘ (in Japanese, look to the future) Domingo Rodríguez Lázaro. “Our references to Asian culture come from afar, it is part of our aesthetic along with pop iconography,” explains the designer. Profiles of Spanish culture have paraded on the catwalk, such as Carmen Lomana and Sita Abellán. “The support we have had from Carmen almost since the beginning of the brand is very important. She is an icon of Spanish fashion and it is a luxury to have her,” he says. In fact, the Spaniard has made an impression by taking off her heels in the middle of the catwalk and parading barefoot. The brand escapes the binary classification of gender: “We make fashion for people. It is increasingly uncomfortable to label or talk about a type of piece or a feminine or masculine attitude. It is very boring”.
