CARLOTA BARRERA Fall/Winter 2020

The Spanish designer Carlota Barrera allies with Nike in her new proposal ‘Dewdroppers’, presented in the framework of the Men’s Fashion Week in Paris.

‘Dewdroppers’ recovers the vitality, exaltation and unleashed energy of the 20s, as opposed to the social and productive model that prevails today. Through a process of research and historical documentation, Barrera takes some of the most representative codes of this golden age and endows them with contemporary significance, preserving its authenticity and uniqueness. The collection, presented in the Parisian neighborhood of Le Marais, is an allegory of sustainability, functionality and the overflowing magic of details and exquisite design. The designer has collaborated with Nike to define the footwear of her Fall/Winter 2020 collection. The Nike Blazer, the iconic shoe model popularized in the seventies (one of the times that most inspires Barrera) is the perfect complement to the designer’s narrative, inspiring strength and freshness.

We talk to Carlota Barrera to know how the process of creating “Dewdroppers” has been, how she feels after having presented in Paris and how she conceives the future of fashion.
