080 Barcelona Fashion October 2026: 25 Designers, 26 Shows, PLEC

080 Barcelona Fashion: A New Chapter for Spanish Style

From 20 to 23 October 2026, Barcelona will once again become the beating heart of Spanish fashion as the 38th edition of 080 Barcelona Fashion takes over the Marina Vela-Port Vell. With 25 participating firms and designers and 26 catwalk shows, this edition promises a vibrant mix of established names, emerging talent and a bold new citywide initiative called PLEC.

The official presentation, held at the Hotel Me in Barcelona, brought together key figures from the city’s fashion ecosystem. Moisés Rodríguez, director of the Consorci de Comerç, Artesania i Moda (CCAM) of the Generalitat de Catalunya, noted that 080 is experiencing “one of its most attractive and international moments”. He added that the event reinforces the government’s commitment to circularity, creativity and craftsmanship. Nàdia Quevedo, commissioner for Economic Promotion, Commerce, Catering and Fashion Plan at Barcelona City Council, emphasised the city’s creative tradition and the need to promote both emerging and established talent. She explained that PLEC aims to “highlight and connect all the disciplines we have in our city” and to make “the front row of fashion for the public as well”.

A programme of talks and workshops will run throughout, covering topics from social media to experimental fabrics and AI campaigns.
