We’ve already announced it on social networks and also, some days ago , via the new November shop-window. It’s exactly one week before Gratacós hosts the most revolutionary fashion pop up in Barcelona: it is Sastreria Moderna , a unique initiative that gives a twist to the traditional concept of clothing through local designers who present a capsule collection of clothes and accessories made with different fabrics from the new collection.

In this fifth edition, Sastreria Moderna has invited 13 designers of different styles with a common philosophy: the commitment to conscious and conscientious slow-cooking fashion that emphasizes craftsmanship and detail. What is really interesting about this one-off initiative is that the participating designers make unique clothes and accessories in a special collection of our fabrics and where the customer can try them on site before purchasing.  How should they be worn? This is the magic of Modern Sastreria : they are made exclusively on request and clients can choose a variation of fabric colour or a small modification of the design to their own specification.  Within a fortnight orders can be collected either in our shop or at the client’s chosen address.

The collection has already taken shape

Each designer has made only two or three pieces within their own particular style using our fabrics and together they make up this capsule collection of Modern Sastreria. Each garment has a special, personal quality, a total guarantee that it has been made with great care both with regard to workshop quality fabrics and to those chosen by the designers: velvet, jacquard, lamé, tweed, crepe and even fringes! In this elaborate design feature there will be long dresses, asymmetrical skirts, shirts for boys and girls, wide trousers, jackets, bags, turbans, belts and even a mini -series of necklaces.In total there are almost thirty textile designs to choose from!

The real protagonists

Who are the designers participating in this edition? In total there are 9 clothing designers and they are: KM by LANGE, GIAN, Ana Tichy , Ene de Narcisa, Montse Cañadas, Lucía Rodríguez, Deltravés , Enero and Norima . The 4 accessory designers are Greta Serra (handbags), AndreaViêntëc (turbans), Mireia Fusté (jewelry) and Kimôh (belts). The capsule collection of the designers is accompanied by a series of brands of accessories that share the values of slow fashion and which will take the opportunity to sell their products during the fashion pop up: Becker & Co , Mireia Fustéand Philo K (jewelry) , The Henten Bag (bags and purses), Anna Perich (silk scarves), Eva vs Maria (shoes) and Verbena ( diadems ) and Andrea Viêntëc (turbans).

Do not miss the live show!

The pop up of Sastreria Moderna will be held on November 29 and 30 and Saturday, December 1 in the Gratacós shop. On these three days of sales anything can happen. For example, on Thursday and Saturday (from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm) there will be a live sketching session led by the illustrator Lucy Davis, who will draw small lamina plates for all those interested. On Friday (from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.), the designer Anna Perich will also give a demonstration of art & silk and will paint white silk fabrics and turn them into unique and multi-coloured handkerchiefs.

We hope to see you!

We continue to pop up with more imaginative stores sharing good news: our store next week will host the unconventional pop up Sastreria Moderna. This is an initiative inspired by the slow fashion movement that will take place from 18 to 20 May in our store, where customers can interact directly with the designer and squeeze the most out of this relationship. The journalist Laia Beltran, organizer of the event, relies on Gratacós to carry out this ephemeral event. “Gratacós always encourages initiatives by independent designers and we love that. In addition, it is a well located working area, very attractive, with a shop-window that faces the street and an enthusiastic team. What more could you ask for?”.

“Gratacós always encourages initiatives by independent designers and we love that”

Sastreria Moderna advocates a sustainable, personalized and “low-simmering”fashion that is more rewarding, both for the maker and for the wearer. That is the value of the initiative where the clients can try out the clothing of the invited designer and order it on the spot. “Here the client does not try on a garment, pay for it and take it home inside a bag. Here she tries it on and if she likes it she orders it, with the option of making changes in colour and fabrics. That’s why we call it a non-conventional pop up, “says Laia Beltran. Thus, in a couple of weeks, the garment is made and delivered to the customer with the idea of promoting production on demand and avoiding stocks. In this third edition the possibilities of choosing fabric multiply, given that Gratacós will offer a wide range of possibilities to clients.

The designer EvaHumo as special guest

In the third edition, Sastreria Moderna EvaHumo  invited the designer to present in public ‘Jazz’, her new collection. It is an elegant and sensual creation inspired by the twenties, by a woman who dances and surrenders herself without thinking that everything can end at any time. Dresses, blouses and light skirts in powdered colours and with an exciting set of textures. The designer’s more radical side will also be revealed with a selection of unique garments intentionally made for the event where intense colours, prints and handmade finishes predominate. In the presentation of the collection, clients will be able to try on the garments and order them with the fabric suggested by the designer or with any other fabric from Gratacós where we will take the opportunity to advise on the most appropriate choice.

Other Companies Confirmed

Sastreria Moderna will again have the support of several design brands that will put on sale their latest collections. These complements and accessories companies share the same spirit of the initiative in that they go for good design and local production. Thus this edition will feature the minimalist jewelry of Sew a Song and the most exuberant creations of Becker & Co, inspired by the most varied flora and fauna. The leather accessories of Encuire by the designer Eva Estévez will also be present, as will duffle bags - the classic cylindrical bags with sailcloth handles by Equipaje BCN. Finally,in footwear Dorotea’s marvellous sandals are a must. They are made by hand in Menorca with quality leather.

“Here the client tries on tests a garment and, if she likes it, she orders it, with the option of making modifications in colour and fabrics”

Apart from design, Sastrería Moderna also offers the possibility of having a good time among friends. “It’s a good excuse to meet up with old friends, with clients or meet new people. We like to chat with them, invite them to a beer and explain the work of each designer, ” Laia declares.

Sastreria Moderna has the support of Gratacós, the architectural studio and showroom Materia Terricola and Moritz beers.

We ‘re waiting for you!
