Carlota Barrera presented her Fall-Winter 2025/26 collection, titled “A Half-Tied Bow“, at Madrid es Moda . In an intimate, exhibition-style format, the designer opened the doors of her studio to offer an experience that unites fashion, edit, and memory. The project combines the launch of a fanzine that captures her creative imagination together with the exhibit of her new collection, and complemented by a pop-up store featuring archival pieces.
The collection is constructed as an introspective exercise into the designer’s own universe, where the notion of the unfinished and the timeless coexist in equilibrium. The fanzine, conceived as a narrative extension, functions as a window into her processes, consolidating a language that goes beyond the garment and dialogues with the brand’s identity and memory.
In terms of silhouettes and materials, the project combines refined shapes with fabrics that invite tactile exploration. Visitors can explore a sensorial experience that combines current garments with iconic pieces from the archive as well as the core collection. The intimate atmosphere of the studio reinforces the closeness to Barrera’s fashion, understood as an exercise in continuity and evolution.
The pop-up will remain open until September 17th, consolidating a space where the brand’s past, present, and future intertwine. A fashion proposal that reaffirms Carlota Barrera as a designer in constant dialogue with her own legacy.
