Spanish Brand Spotlight at Pitti Bimbo 85

Spanish brands at Pitti Bimbo 85 set out on a road trip with the Spring Summer 2018 collections. Looking out on the open road, the latest trends are inspired by a dusty desert landscape where the passing of time is marked by long-forgotten petrol stations. The full range of earth tones together with the red of the rocky canyons are complemented by cactus green, grey-white clouds, and sky blue. This is the setting for the spectacular show from Spanish brands Mayoral, Desigual, Tuc Tuc, Amaya, Barcarola, and Boboli at Pitti Bimbo 85.

This is the fourth post in Junior Style London’s Pitti Bimbo 85 series.

First up: Mayoral. A mash up of concepts and textures with rock motifs and nods to ballet with a nude palette dominating, the SS18 collection is infused with copper touches and pastel browns for girls. For boys, golden yellow tones, neutral sand, cayenne, mazarine, and vanilla complement surfer graphics for a travelgram vibe.

Amaya brings country-chic to a whole new level with sleek lines and a rich, boho feel with reinforced fabrics like silk, taffetta, and mikado. The collection plays with volume; playing with child-like silhouettes in the ‘Audrey’ style.

Barcarola present Desert Beauty invites you to whip out your banjo, harmonica, and 6-string guitar to celebrate romantic country dressing: flaired trousers, shirts tied at the waist, and jackets with plenty of embroidery, lace, and fringe.

Desigual creates clothing for kids with glow in the dark details, reversible sequins, t-shirts that double as chalkboards, 2-in-1 pieces, and all-in-one styles that offer a complete look in a single garment.

Original prints are the hallmark of the fun and colourful universe that is Tuc Tuc. Botanical and beach themes combine with urban influences with all-over prints and shiny fabrics.

At Boboli, patches, embroidery, and characteristic prints along dominate along with bomber jackets. Fine and lightweight fabrics with custom prints and motifs, delicate cotton blouses, and summer prints and kintwear lend a bohemian touch.
