Welcome to Port Vell.
If there’s something we’re always up for, it’s going to Barcelona, and even more so when 080 Barcelona Fashion Week is the reason.
This season felt different from the jump. After years of calling the gothic grandeur of Sant Pau Art Nouveau home, the 37th edition marked a new stage entirely, moving to the Mirador del Port Vell. A city shaped by Gaudí’s impossible architecture, a centuries-deep creative culture, and an energy that belongs entirely to itself.
Designers pushed into new techniques, construction unpicked and reassembled, textiles interrogated rather than simply chosen. Others went deep into the search for silhouette, for femininity reframed and craftsmanship ran through it all like a thread you keep finding, whether you were looking for it or not. What 080 continues to get right is the balance between emergence and confidence. PAUSE dives into our pick selection of shows from Fall Winter 2026.
NAZZAL STUDIO
Founded in 2023 and led by Sylwia Nazzal, Nazzal Studio made its Barcelona Fashion Week debut with Al-Najah, a collection created in collaboration with artist Jad Maq that stood out for its clarity of intent and refusal to dilute its references. Drawing directly from Bedouin life across Bilad al-Sham, the work centred craft as both method and message, with leather, silk, latex and metal worked alongside natural pigments like henna, indigo and mineral dyes. The looks carried a beautiful simplicity, feeling modern when paired with corsets and leather bomber jackets, with the Palestinian designer’s skill for adapting traditional shapes into young, contemporary silhouettes shining throughout. Parts of the collection were produced in collaboration with refugee women, positioning it as an assertion of living heritage that resists erasure and insists on visibility through garments.

REPARTO STUDIO
Margil Peña and Ana Viglione presented BLACKLOT, a collection inspired by the idea of the film backlot, examining staged environments and constructed realities. Historical theatrical dress codes were referenced through long coats, corseted silhouettes and high necklines, but given a contemporary touch with animal prints and fun accessories, including the “I LOVE ME” caps made specifically for the collection. Ruffles and fringe coexist with leopard print, fuchsia tights provide the colour accent, and corseted dresses trail into tulle trains, the result sitting somewhere between rockstar girlfriend and cabaret girl. Consistent with past seasons, the duo also worked with upcycled materials and used moulage to construct some of the garments, proving that Reparto’s commitment to craft is as strong as their commitment to spectacle. The collection draws on silhouettes from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the underground culture of the late 20th century.

DOBLAS
DOBLAS presented its FW26 collection Collapse at 080 Barcelona Fashion, building a language where each formal decision carries intention and where construction, instability and fragmentation move together within the same silhouette. With a focus on imbalanced proportions, jackets were cut shorter at the front and longer at the back, paired with trousers that shifted in length, with tailoring, especially the tuxedo still forming the base but loosened and broken up through patchworked fabrics and irregular construction. Multiple belts were shifted towards the chest or falling irregularly over the hips, fragmenting the garment and creating new lines of force in the silhouette’s construction. The collection was a perfect continuation of everything Doblas has built over the past few seasons, completed with subtle 1960s references throughout.

MAISON MOONSIEUR
Maison Moonsieur’s proposal is rooted in rescuing the elegance and charm of other eras and transforming them into pieces that fit the present with futuristic touches, each collection an exercise in balance between the past and the future, a conversation between the classic and the modern. For FW26, designer Marc Sez channelled his lifelong fascination with Joan of Arc into Sancta Machina, a collection rendered in a palette of blacks, greys, burgundies and whites, featuring corset tops, head-covering pieces that added a halo of mysticism, and fur coats, landing the brand firmly at the crown of the season’s soft goth movement. The brand is distinguished by its attention to detail, its brutalist approach and its ability to transform historical references into contemporary pieces with a unique identity, and Sancta Machina made that case better than ever.

DOMINNICO
Dominnico celebrated its tenth anniversary with Soft Armor FW26, a collection that transforms duality into an aesthetic and emotional manifesto, proposing a new interpretation of strength through sensitivity, where softness does not imply fragility and structure does not equal rigidity. The brand’s signature buckles cinched leather and suede motorcycle jackets paired with pastel-hued faux-fur collars in sage green, icy blue and powder pink, while references to armour came through constraint, with buckled, fringed gloves encasing models’ arms. The casting and styling paid homage to the brand’s roots in club culture and its wider creative community, with Tayce on the runway, Violet Chachki in the front row, and closing with DJ and model Sita Abellán in a nod to the brand’s Spanish origins. The viral moment of socialite Carmen Lomana and rapper Metrika walking together only added to the spectacle, ten years in, Dominnico remains the most electric show on the Barcelona calendar.
