The 35th edition of 080 Barcelona Fashion Week (1 to 4 April) was held at the emblematic Art Nouveau site of Sant Pau, consolidating its position as a global platform for Catalan and Spanish fashion. With the participation of twenty-four designers and brands, the event stood for its traditional values of creativity and technological innovation, while maintaining its commitment to sustainability and diversity.

Among the most outstanding trends for the 2025 Spring/Summer season, transparencies and translucent textures occupied a prominent place. Designers such as REPARTO and Lebor Gabala presented garments made of lightweight materials such as organza and tulle, bringing an ethereal sensuality to their collections. In addition, oversized belts and stricking buckles emerged as key accessories, capable of adding drama while defining the silhouette in flowing outfits. 

Craftsmanship also played a leading role in this time. Firms such as Simorra, Linares and Escorpion opted for traditional techniques such as crochet, knitwear and mesh fabrics, merging tradition with modernity and highlighting the importance of manual processes in contemporary fashion.

A significant milestone of this edition was also the incorporation of the Barcelona City Council in the organization of the event, joining the Generalitat de Catalunya. This collaboration seeks to consolidate and internationalize the platorm, reflecting the importance of fashion in the economic and cultural ecosystem of the city. 

As for swimwear, although 080 Barcelona Fashion did not present a wide range of specific proposals in this area, the trend towards transparencies and craftsmanship suggests an inclination towards swimwear designs that incorporate crochet details, light fabrics and innovative cuts. These influences inspire our creative department at Splash by Lo to integrate these elements into their future collections, merging contemporary aesthetics with the characteristic functionality of swimwear.

The 35th edition of 080 Barcelona Fashion reaffirmed Barcelona’s role as the epicentre of fashion, standing out for its commitment to innovation, sustainability and diversity, elements that continue to define the fashion scene in the city and concepts that we share at Splash by Lo.
