One more year I had the pleasure of attending the Pasarela Barreira A+D, organized by this school specialized in fashion, graphic design and interior design based in Valencia. My Firenze comeback last year made it impossible to attend the last edition of the catwalk, so this year I really felt like knowing the ideas of the young Valencian designers. This year's theme aimed to combine technology and sustainability in the looks shown by the students of the different degrees and masters with recycled and/or recyclable fabrics and futuristic concepts.
I think one more year, the measuring rod was pretty high talking about to the ideas shown by these emerging designers, whose proposals were valued and awarded by a jury composed national and international fashion professionals of valued expertise, as Valencian hatter Betto García, the designer Gaia Borina and the creative director of Ángel Schlesser, Daniel Rabaneda.
The places chosen to carry out this event have been very iconic throughout the past editions, and this year has been celebrated in the cloister of the Monastery of San Miguel de los Reyes, located on the outskirts of Valencia and surrounded by la Huerta. As a person who attends many events of this type, in addition to my technical background, I usually appreciate how the paths and specific places where the action is happening are set and designed. A well-designed catwalk is able to praise the presented styles, showing them to the public from several angles, in a close way but letting them breathe (otherwise, if the public is badly placed, only a few will see the outfits, and no designer would want to lose a single potential client). I think this edition perfectly complied with these premises, and I loved that as a public, we could freely wander around the galleries of the cloister, leaving the garden as the place where the models moved around. In addition, to add complexity to the matter, there were so many proposals and designers (six hundred photos in my camera attest it!) that the whole show could have been endless, but the truth is that I think it was very pleasant and that all the attendees loved it.
Once again: congratulations and many thanks for the invitation!
*note: I do not know the names of the designers of the proposals you see in this post. As I said before: there were so many designers that having them located in the RRSS was such a titanic task. Dear designers: if you want to be named in this post, leave a comment or send me an email to somethingfashionblog@gmail.com and I will be happy to add you;)

Un año más he tenido el placer de asistir a la Pasarela Barreira A+D, organizada por esta escuela especializada en la enseñanza de moda, diseño gráfico y diseño de interiores en Valencia. Mi regreso desde Florencia el año pasado hizo imposible poder asistir a la edición pasada de la pasarela, así que este año había más ganas aún si cabe de conocer las propuestas de los jóvenes diseñadores valencianos. La temática de este año pretendía aunar en los looks presentados por los alumnos de los diferentes grados y másters la tecnología y la sostenibilidad de la mano de tejidos reciclados y/o reciclables y conceptos futuristas.
Creo que un año más, el listón estaba muy alto hablando de las ideas presentadas por estos diseñadores emergentes, cuyas propuestas fueron valoradas y premiadas por un jurado compuesto entre otros profesionales de la moda nacional e internacional, por el sombrerero valenciano Betto García, la diseñadora Gaia Borina y el director creativo de Ángel Schlesser, Daniel Rabaneda.
Los lugares escogidos para realizar este evento han sido muy icónicos a lo largo de las pasadas ediciones, y este año ha sido celebrado en el claustro del Monasterio de San Miguel de los Reyes, situado a las afueras de Valencia y rodeado de huerta. Como persona que asiste a muchos eventos de este tipo, además de por mi formación, suelo valorar muchísimo cómo se configura y se diseñan los recorridos y lugares específicos donde se va a desarrollar la acción. Una pasarela bien diseñada es capaz de ensalzar los estilismos presentados, mostrándolos al público desde varios ángulos, de forma cercana pero dejándolos respirar (de lo contrario, si el público está mal colocado, sólo unos pocos verán las propuestas; y ningún diseñador querría perder ni un sólo cliente potencial). Creo que esta edición cumplió perfectamente con estas premisas, y me encantó que como público, pudiésemos deambular libremente por la parte trasera del claustro, dejando el jardín como lugar donde iban desfilando los modelos. Además, para añadir complejidad al asunto, había tantas propuestas y diseñadores (¡seiscientas fotos en mi cámara de fotos lo atestiguan!) que el desfile corría el riesgo de ser interminable, pero lo cierto es que, creo que resultó muy ameno y nos encantó a todos los asistentes.
Un año más: ¡enhorabuena y muchas gracias por la invitación!
*nota: no conozco el nombre de los diseñadores de las propuestas que veis en este post. Como ya he dicho: eran tantos que tenerlos localizados en RRSS era inabarcable. Estimados diseñadores: si queréis que os nombre en este post, dejad un comentario o enviadme un mail a somethingfashionblog@gmail.com y estaré encantada de añadiros ;)
