Barcelona Bridal Week
Salón Noviaespaña – Pasarela Gaudí Novias
06-11/May
Gran Via. 24th edition
Once more last year, Barcelona Bridal Week,
formed by Pasarela Gaudí Novias and the
Noviaespaña show, turned the Catalan capital
into the international centre of bridal fashion.
This twenty-fourth session, the first organised
directly by Fira de Barcelona, was attended
by companies that are leaders in quality, design
and export potential in the bridal, party and
accessories industry.
Noviaespaña completely occupied Pavilion
2 at the Gran Via venue, where some 10,000
wedding dresses and more than 2,500 party
gowns were on show, presented by 200 brands,
half of them international. For the first time,
moreover, the event also hosted the Eurobijoux
& MIBI costume jewellery and accessories show.
In terms of visitors, this latest edition of
Noviaespaña was marked by both quality
and quantity: more than 16,000 professionals
attended, 60% of them foreign, from 74
countries, 14 more than in 2013.
The Pasarela Gaudí Novias featured
collections by Rosa Clará, Jesús Peiró, Victorio
& Lucchino, Yolan Cris, Inmaculada García,
M&M, Cymbeline, Isabel Zapardiez, Jordi
Dalmau, Hannibal Laguna, Ana Torres, Franc
Sarabia, Francis Montesino, Manualvarez,
Matilde Cano, Patricia Avendaño, Sonia Peña,
Miquel Suay, Juana Martín, Carla Ruiz and
Fuetecapala. Pronovias closed the series of
catwalks with an exclusive show and party to
celebrate the firm’s 50th anniversary in the Italian
Pavilion at the Montjuïc venue.
In short, Barcelona Bridal Week 2014 was an
extraordinary success, attended by companies
and buyers from the four corners of the earth, all
keen to learn at first-hand about the latest trends
in this sector of the textile industry, one of the
most powerful in the Spanish economy+, which
serves one in ten brides around the world.
