On Monday 4th May, we presented the Gratacós Barcelona Bridal grant to the winner of the second edition, Garazi Moraga Martin for her project Hummingbird. During the prize ceremony in the Hotel Majestic (Barcelona), Garazi Moraga received a cheque for 500€ to spend on Gratacós fabrics and 1000€ in cash.

For this edition, we have had the pleasure of collaborating with the Barcelona City Council who offered a contribution of 500€ for the grant. Furthermore, the moulage of the winning project will be exhibited in one of the main windows of the Hotel Majestic during the Barcelona Bridal Week.

This initiative has been developed in collaboration with the IED Barcelona school for their Advanced Continuous Training Programme in Bridal and Special Occasion Design. It forms part of our “Talent Plan”, a set of actions that aim to support emerging designers, impulse creativity and offer young talents training opportunities in the Fashion and Textile Industry.
