Justicia Ruano Festival of Fabrics - Orion.


“Small place whose light is just barely brighter than the darkness of space.”

Pierre Louis Maupertuis 


Justicia Ruano established her name brand in Barcelona back in 2009. after a rich career in fashion design world working for other brands she wanted to reinvent the existing offering of luxurious garments with her own unique vision of femininity.

JUSTICIA RUANO SIGNATURE STYLE

Justicia Ruano collections are recognizable by carefully curated selection of fabrics, materials and patterns as well as the slow fashion process of making each garment with special attention to her signature details.



Her brand is a true cosmopolitan ready to wear brand catering to modern women and it's sold in major cities and countries all over the world from New York and Lebanon to France, Italy and Taiwan.

FESTIVAL OF FABRICS


Vinyl with Chantilly lace, mohair splattered with lurex, dappled gold silver and bronze fill coupé,
a real patchwork of textures is what you could see in Justicia's Fall/Winter 16/17 collection named Orion.

The evening wear pieces were made out of silk brocades and crepes with bejeweled embroidery, structure and languor, matte and glossy effects - a festival of fabrics with controlled volumes celebrating feminine figure.




I personally adore feminine design in high quality fabrics which is not overly seasonal in style thus Justicia Ruano is a perfect brand for me. Her pieces are very detailed but still super wearable even for business dinners without being overly flashy while each piece is definitely also red carpet worthy.

My favorite pieces from Orion collection are most definitely bronze tuxedo jacket dress and black open back jumpsuit with lace details.




If you like Justicia's work you can find her designs in selected boutiques all over the world. The full list is here.

Celia Vela Fall/Winter 16/17 Show.

Spain is the home of most successful mass market brands like Zara but it's also really rich with young, fresh designer talents many of which design, up cycle and create brand new artisan pieces. There is a fine balance between fast and slow fashion with the second one being really noticeable in the city of Barcelona where you can see more and more locals but especially tourist looking for unique (mostly leather) handmade artisan fashion pieces and accessory.

Independent fashion and accessory designers in Barcelona have a lot of talent, they design and hand make high quality, affordable, ready to wear fashion collections but are still learning how to properly do the business and promotional side of owning a business. Many don't speak English well or any other languages but Spanish and do not have hire professionals to do their promotion and wholesale side of business for them.

The vast talent was already visible the first day of 080 Barcelona Fashion, the event which is heavily supported by the city, it takes place in beautiful historic buildings and it's usually really well organized. 

CELIA VELA is a female Spanish designer based in Barcelona where she also has her own store. Celia is showing her seasonal collections on 080 Barcelona Fashion event. She is inspired with Japanese aesthetics while her trademarks are femininity, sophistication and an attention to details. Celia is also known by her gorgeous wedding collections with beautifully made artisan lace details.




Celia's Fall/Winter 16/17 collection features her signature bejeweled back detailing on knitwear and loose, wool black and white squared coats bejeweled with brooches which remind of Chanel suits. I particularly like marsala bejeweled velvet jumpsuits.
