PLEC · Barcelona Fashion Culture

Barcelona is made of folds. So is its fashion culture.

PLEC · Barcelona Fashion Culture is a new city platform initiated by Barcelona City Council as part of the Barcelona Fashion Strategic Plan 2025–2030.

Behind every fold are crafts, images, scenes, memories and ways of making that shape Barcelona’s fashion culture. PLEC looks precisely here: at everything already happening across the city that simply needs to be connected. Between the workshop and the street. Between craft and scene. Between heritage and the future. Between those who create and those who look.

On 21 and 22 October, PLEC unfolds at Els Tinglados del Port Vell with its Vol. 1: two evenings to look, listen, discover, meet and be surprised by different forms of fashion culture. An interactive installation, a journey through the city’s editorial memory, live conversations, live music and artistic and performance actions will shape a programme connecting image, fashion culture, music, art, performance and the city.
