Modafad has invited yet again the Istituto Europeo di Design of Barcelona´s Fashion Design graduates, to participate in the 29th edition of their fashion show.
The new edition of MODAFAD returns under the title of "What remains is future" to present the best emerging designers that comes out of the Fashion design schools.
In this occasion, a total of five IED Barcelona designers will be showing their work in the fashion show of MODAFAD, as well as selling their collections, small works of art in the fashion MerkaFAD market and showroom.
Laura Dieguez, winner in the previous edition of the award for best creativity with her collection Monstruoplastia, returns to MODAFAD to present her new collection "Don’ WARry be happy".
"Don’t WARry be happy" is a parody on the human incoherence and intends to talk about the violence that surrounds us through the patterns which are the main characters: Indians, cowboys, guns, soldiers ...
A battle among prints, volumes and colours to reflect how "war", looks as is becoming a children’s play.
Laura Dieguez defines it as a sportswear collection, with oversize unisex garments and also a more feminine line mixed with contrasting textiles such as leather and in the other side knitwear, hydrophobic and plush textile representing the plasticity of this not inocent "game".
In the PASAFAD runway show, this year entitled “What remains is future" we will once more see Ixone Elxo and Alejandra Lorenzo on the catwalk.
Ixone and Alejandra joined together to work side by side designing the collection “the remains of the future”.
The designers have adapted the word "remains" and giving a new meaning "Remains". The collection is inspired in all the waste and deterioration of walls and facades, houses destroyed , crackle paintings, rusted metal ... from there the panel of colours.
The cuts and accessories are inspired in the workers clothing. The most characteristic feature of the collection, however, is the continued search for such effects by manipulating textiles with the application of bandages, plaster, coffee grounds, glue, paint, latex, bleach, dye painting... They recreate identical textures and colours to the ones that have taken as inspiration. A second line of the collection is set up of digital photographs prints of inspirational images.
In addition, Luis Iglesias, marked by its singular towards the marvellous birds as the flamingos ,presents in Barcelona his designs with “The Blind Flamingos"
His designs are inspired in a part by the blind people, in a pessimistic vision of the life as if the light was always dull. The designer imagines and wonders: How do blind people dress up ? How should they relate to the clothes? Therefore the decision to work from the touch, through unidentifiable garments through this sense, fine smooth textiles for the tops, jackets with textures…
The fabrics are silks, cottons and very thin voiles, very pleasant to touch, mixed with textured fabrics. Many black, gray and leather wools.
In addition, the Austrian designer settled in Barcelona, Anita Christina Auernigg present her collection "Dress for evolution" for the first time in PASAFAD.
A vision of the future based on present times and its dressing style tradition. Structure and body with natural fibers fabrics and mixture, the Minimalist structures adapt to high developed bodies.
