The 27th 080 Barcelona Fashion is once again opting for an entirely digital format, with the fashion content being streamed, a decision that, on the one hand, is due to the exceptional situation resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and, on the other, to the aim of 080 Barcelona Fashion to adapt to the digitisation of the fashion industry. Up to 22 designers and fashion brands make up the line-up for the next edition, with highly diverse creative proposals, whose common ground consists of talent, creativity, originality, quality and, above all, authenticity and uniqueness.

He studied Fashion Design at the School of Art in Cadiz and was the winner of the Bulevar Sur award, which gave him the chance to show at Code41 with his first collection "Tobalo", which was inspired by Andalusian craftsmanship and paved the way for him to continue working on new collections, such as "Qamida". In his debut at 080 Barcelona Fashion, he presents “Capítulo 1. Desesquilibrio”. ANTONIO MARCIAL: (Talavera de la Reina, 1993) Antonio Viéitez, creative director of the firm, began his studies in Fine Arts in Madrid, whose background was his main source of inspiration as a fashion designer. He completed his training with a master’s degree in Fashion Design at the Ravensbourne School, University of the Arts London. He has been working with the designer Santiago Bandrés and, eventually, in 2020 he created his own brand, ANTONIO MARCIAL, a genderless style with deconstructed patterns that mix simple and elegant shapes. His creations have appeared in publications such as L'Officiel Austria and Coolturize Magazine, among others.

His customers include celebrities, such as Nieves Álvarez, Ronnie Wood or Jaime de Marichalar.

Likewise, he has appeared on various television programmes as a jury and fashion commentator.

Using these elements as their starting point the brand was originally launched under the name CUSTO LINE… Over time, research into the use of colour and prints has translated into innovation, audacity and sophistication CUSTO BARCELONA currently exists as a style in its own right. EIKO AI: A brand founded in 2018 that designs and manufactures in Catalonia. The brand’s creative director, Glo Lladó, trained at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Barcelona and the Central Saint Martins.

Each garment features a delicate, contemporary silhouette in harmonious colours. It places great emphasis on craftsmanship, quality materials and local production. Communications Office Pg. Gràcia, 105, 7a 2 [email protected] Tel. 93 484 9351 / 93 484 9746 EÑAUT: A brand created in 2018 by the Barcelona-based Basque designer, Eñaut Barruetabeña, who graduated just a year earlier and put into practice what he had learned with Josep Abril and Llamazares y de Delgado. With their minimalist aesthetics, his creations pay special attention to detail and pattern, opting for organic fabrics and bearing in mind the image-conscious man who is also an art and design lover. He debuted at 080 in 2019 with the "Newfoundland" collection, where he also presented Exodus (2020) and Permafrost (2020). ESCORPION: A benchmark in the international knitwear sector since 1929 thanks to the sophisticated design and heritage of its collections. From its headquarters in Barcelona and Igualada, ESCORPION stands for bold, sustainable fashion, created using environmentally sound processes.

Under the creative direction of Carlos Gracia, the firm is currently marketed through 900 shops in more than 20 countries. IS COMING: Constan Hernández, the soul of this project, has been in the fashion industry for more than forty years. In the mid-nineties, before setting up his own company, he was the sales manager of Bonaventure and president of Findway, a company that designs promotional products for firms such as Bacardi, Johnnie Walker or JB. Hernández founded Homeless in the midst of the "movida", a company he restructured into HossIntropia and in 2000 into Intropia, the name under which the company ended its track record in 2020. This new project, which he shares with his wife, Cristina Ordovás, as a creative director, sums up the lessons of his career, which are, as he puts it: "I have never thought of stopping because of COVID-19". LEBOR GABALA: A professional project with almost three decades of experience of designer Maite Muñoz, who trained under masters the likes of Pedro Morago, Rap Difussion or Mila & Tucho Balado. Lebor Gabala is a brand that initially produced knitwear and gradually incorporated corduroy into its creations, which are conceived as timeless quality garments that interpret trends according to the designer’s vision. Lebor Gabala chooses the most exquisite raw materials in search of the highest quality. LOLA CASADEMUNT BY MAITE: LOLA CASADEMUNT’s Premium Line, the most sophisticated and trendy version of the Catalan brand, with a track record of 40 years.

LR3: A creative project that came into being at the end of 2019 thanks to Louis Rubi and Daniel Corrales. Both Rubi and Corrales have extensive experience in the industry, where they have worked for more than 15 years in multinational and large fashion companies. A background that has helped them define their project terms. Since its inception, LR3 has been committed to slow fashion, responsibility, quality and e-commerce.

ONRUSHW23FH: A project that arose from the merger of Albert Sánchez and Sebastián Cameras, aged 24 and 22, who both graduated in Fashion Design and Image in Barcelona. Once graduated, they travelled to Paris to participate as styling assistants at Fashion Week Menswear for Eyrtis and as showroom assistants for Diane von Furstenberg and later, in London, where they did design internships with David Koma, as well as Preen by Thorton Bregazzi.

  • Protodiplomacy Across the Mediterranean: the Catalan Participation in the First Congresses of Byzantine Studies in South- Eastern Europe During the Interwar Period
    Protodiplomacy Across the Mediterranean: The Catalan Participation in the First Congresses of Byzantine Studies in South- Eastern Europe During the Interwar Period LUCILA MALLART Universitat Pompeu Fabra In the interwar period, Catalan nationalists sought to participate actively in post-World War I political forums in order to inscribe Catalonia in discussions on national minorities. Figures like Lluís Nicolau d’Olwer (1888-1961) or Joan Estelrich (1896-1958) unsuccessfully fought to have their claims heard at organisations such as the League of Nations. This has been considered a form of protodiplomacy (Núñez-Seixas 2010). This paper will explore the ways in which Catalan politicians and intellectuals, such as the abovementioned Lluís Nicolau d’Olwer and Josep Puig i Cadafalch (1867-1956), engaged in forms of protodiplomacy in the same period, in the context of the Byzantine Studies Congresses that were organised in South-Eastern Europe in 1924 and 1927. This engagement is significant for a number of reasons. Firstly, it shows that territorial entities with conflicting agendas (separatist, in the case of Catalonia; agglutinating, in the case of Romania) could build narratives that reciprocally reinforced each other’s nationalist objectives. Secondly, it alters the conventional narrative according to which Josep Puig i Cadafalch, former president of the Catalan Mancomunitat (1917-1923) retired from politics after General Primo de Rivera’s coup d’état, and devoted himself to merely academic practices (e.g. Balcells 2013). Instead, his participation in those Congresses should be framed in the both implicit and explicit political character of those meetings (Maufroy 2010). Finally, the approach of this paper highlights the eminently transnational character of the spaces in which those nationalist narratives and claims where discussed and negotiated (Alcalde 2018).

  • Music Video Aesthetics, Militarised Fashion, and the Embodied Politics of Stardom in Rihanna’S ‘Hard’1
    Politik Nummer 1 | Årgang 23 | 2020 ‘Couture military’ and a queer aesthetic curiosity: music video aesthetics, militarised fashion, and the embodied politics of stardom in Rihanna’s ‘Hard’1 Catherine Baker, Senior Lecturer in 20th Century History, Department of History, Uni- versity of Hull Music video is an underappreciated type of audiovisual artefact in studies of the aesthet- ics of world politics, which typically privilege linear narrative storytelling and struggle to communicate how sonic and embodied practices also constitute world politics as sen- sory experiences through which individuals make sense of the world. Yet the ways in which music video invites spectators’ senses to work together, and to filter meaning through their knowledge of stars’ own ‘meta-narratives’, expose an intimate and affective continuum between the politics of stardom and attachments to collective projects such as militarism. This paper explores that continuum through a study of Rihanna’s video ‘Hard’ and the aesthetic strategies it used to visualise her performance of a ‘female military masculinity’ in a fantasised space employing signifiers of US desert war. In December 2009, at the end of a year in which Rihanna had been forced into a struggle to control and redefine her public persona after being assaulted by her then partner, the second single from her image-redefining album Rated R appeared with a video proclaim- ing her resilience and invulnerability, placing her in a succession of haute-couture-styled military-themed outfits in the middle of a fantastic version of a desert war. ‘Hard’, re- leased while fans and journalists were still debating the meanings of the BDSM imagery around Rated R’s lead single ‘Russian Roulette’, asserted Rihanna’s triumphs in the mu- sic industry and the luxury they had earned her result with a defiant message to her online haters and the repeated declaration in the chorus ‘I’m so hard’.

    1 The users centred approach / Designing the stress Francesc Marcé i Puig Keywords: Design. Communication. Interaction. Disarrangement. Disappoint Abstract In previous works, the author of the present paper has been devoted to expose his theoretical and empiric investigations on Design and his methods as a part of a social communication process, as well as to the study of the human communication in general terms. As a those reflections result, we seek in the present report to defend and to argue the following thesis: a good design find this departure point on a design process centred in the user. Then, after studying the conditions for the effectiveness of the Design objects, it is imposed, as an exercise of scientific and social understanding, the use of the same theoretical tools to analyse the consequences of Design products malfunction. 1. Introduction In previous works, we have exposed our theoretical and empiric investigations on Design and their methods, framing them in the context of a social communication process. This process justifies and it explains them. He have been also studying human communication in general terms. Now we must look for some more reach conclusions. All these works are based on three fundamental premises: First, any culture can be understood as a generation of behaviours and material objects, which production and use is function of certain social relationships structure. Their meaning emerge from a certain system of social “necessities”. The socio-cultural system is then a hyper-complex communicational system. Second, the above-mentioned implies that, material environment components, act as messages, taken place over the base of certain language and producing some influence in their receiver-users.

  • Turmoil Second Wave of Confirmed Acts and Projects
    PRESS RELEASE 29 NOVEMBER 2017 CTM FESTIVAL 2018 – TURMOIL SECOND WAVE OF CONFIRMED ACTS AND PROJECTS FESTIVAL FOR ADVENTUROUS MUSIC & ART, BERLIN 19th EDITION, 26 JANUARY – 4 FEBRUARY 2018 CTM 2018 will run 26 January – 4 February 2018 at Berlin venues HAU Hebbel am Ufer, Berghain, YAAM, Festsaal Kreuzberg, SchwuZ, and Kunstquartier Bethanien. We’re also very excited to enter new venue Club OST for the first time this year. The Turmoil theme explores the state of music and sound practice in the face of a confusing and critical present. In the face of nonstop crises, protests, call-outs, and so on, normalised exhaustion and disquiet permeate our daily on- and offline lives. Music has always been a remedy for the ruthlessness of this world, a tool for altering our own way of being and for creating community. CTM 2018 questions the continuity of such potential. Can music mitigate societal polarisation? Does answering the world’s turmoil with aesthetic turmoil help? Should we not, in the face of conflict’s escalating logic and capitalism’s voracious desire for intensification, instead explore aesthetics of placidness and disengagement? Which other sonic and musical responses could we conceive of as an antidote? Newly-confirmed CTM 2018 acts are: Boys Noize [DE] / George E. Lewis & Roscoe Mitchell [US] / Scott Kelly (Neurosis) w John Judkins (Rwake) [US] / Antwood [CA] / Bad Gyal [ES] / Batu [UK] / Champion with MC Serious [UK] / Cuntroaches [DE] / Errorsmith [DE] / / HAJ300 [SE] / Hanin Elias [DE] / HDmirror [DE] / Hyph11E [CN] / Jason Hou
