The latest edition of the barcelona fashion presented the spring/summer 2014 collections brought a bundle of surprises, certain designers confirmed their talents, whilst new talents became more evident. back on the names to remember and follow. firstly miriam ponsa: she likes to mix new technology with craftsmanship and pure materials like wool. some legerity emerges, the flagship piece: a woven vest to wear over a t-shirt. manuel bolano, who was part of the creative team of mango and who was twice elected best designer in 2011 and 2012. we liked his prints ant the memorable piece was the xxl rucksack. another point: the very promising menswear collections. josep abril, has nothing to prove, having been in the business for fifteen years, but his collection for the first time gained in casualness. his fine mesh and long skirts suits are what should be remembered from it ...finally brain & beast was elected the best collection of fashion week by a professional jury. we particularly liked its offbeat humour and its blends of exotic prints. the star piece: the smiley-face shirt of course offered on a retro-punk note. copyright-free music :bandi & nikit-2012
