I felt like Dorothy coming back to Oz (The Brandery & Fitting Room Bcn)

My second day at The Brandery was full of good things. First of all, I met some great people at Bcn Fitting Room, like Lucía Zapata, the great photographer who took that first picture above! And I'm also featured on her blog, Unique People! Have a look at it 'cause I really find it so interesting!
I met Rosanna from Moda a mi modo; María Galán from Miss Patty, Irma from Chocolate & Weddings or Arantxa from Aires Nuevos and BCN Fashion Meeting.

(more pictures here!)

But let's start by the beginning... I arrived early to The Brandery BCN and had a look to the lovely collection of Poupée Chic, full of colors and lovely things... you see, it's totally my kind of clothes! Charo, one of the designers, explained me that all the prints are handmade and they try to create a unique and funny fashion for daily use. I think I would use every single piece of their collection!

After this, I went to Mürfila's benefit concert, organized by YO Donna... here you can see some pictures, it was really goo and Mürfila is very friendly, I must say!

And then, I went to Fitting Room Barcelona, in wich a discovered one of the most lovely brands I've ever seen: Azpeleta&Martínez. I met Susana in their room, a gorgeous woman with an exquisite fashion taste, I must say. And they had lots of lovely heart-coockies and a cake, yummy!

And after Fitting Room... I had the pleasure of seeing (again) Nouvelle Vague on concert! I really love this band, and their lives are always funny and full of great music. Here you can see some pictures I took at the concert and a few more of that day.

And my look of that day!

The Brandery Barcelona: days of fashion and music.

As you all may know by now, last week was The Spring-Summer Brandey Edition, and of course I was there with Laia, Carlos and Laia Chic for seeing the new trends at Barcelona.

(pictures & more here)

Some of the news about this edition are the big collaboration that The Brandery made with music this year. There was some music events during the three days: some benefit concerts organized with an Mozambique NGOs or the performances of artists such as Ladytron, Nouvelle Vague or Carlos Jean.

This is where the benefit concerts were held, built with 25 km of rope, making some kind of dome. The event was organized too with the collaboration of Yo Donna Magazine. Amazing.

The stad of Flamenco Chic was really cute, one of my favourites, so colorful, happy, fun and with pretty clothes! It reminds me a little bit to a cute grandmother's house full of old and lovely things!

Everyone is different, there lies our beauty. No one represents us.

At Salvador Bachiller's stand was a small contest where you could participate leaving a sentence written on a board. This was my sentence, with special reference to Acampada Barcelona. Yes, we're still fighting here :)

Lacroix collection for Desigual

DIM new collection... the orange panties are gorgeous!

A Gin I had waitin for Superdry's fashion show.

Coolway's stand, full of pretty shoes!

I totally fell in love wuth those pink sandals! And the polka dots!

One fo the coolest things of the first day was Superdry's fashion show. you see, maybe is not the type of brand I would use... but they definitly made a awesome show, full of music and dance (Brodas Bros, a hip hop band, were the main models and they danced, made beat box...). In one word: AMAZING.

Seriously, GREAT!!

We also had that day a Bloggers Meeting here at The Brandery, but I couldn't stay too long 'cause the WGSN conference was starting early, so I leave very soon. But I could meet Alba Montero, one of the organizers of The Brandery. Thanks to her I could enter into the Yo Donna BSO space... so thanks again, Alba!
