Josep Abril Fall/Winter 2012In addition to the Fall/Winter 2012 menswear collection by Brazlian line DER METROPOL, which you can see here, another line that I loved at 080 Barcelona Fashion was the Fall/Winter 2012 collection by Barcelona native Josep Abril, whose design aesthetic hits the intersection between cool and wearable just as I like it.

Barcelona Fashion Week Yiorgos EleftheriadesGuess who’s going to Barcelona?? Me. 080 Barcelona FashionBarcelona‘s fashion week — for Fall/Winter 2012 takes place from 01.25 – 01.28.11 and I’ve been chosen to take part and judge the collections to see who’s the best.

The line up is great — including designers we’ve covered on the site Josep Abril, Der Metropol, Yiorgos Eleftheriades, KARLOTALASPALAS — and many others I’ve not heard of yet, but I’ll be sure to my homework prior to the trip to make sure I know who’s who and what’s what.

Check out 080 Barcelona Fashion‘s official site and stay tuned for coverage from the front lines at the end of the month.

Preventi Degraded Waxed Calf BootsWe just can’t get enough of Italian footwear company Preventi. We’ve covered them in the past and think their shoes rock. All we want for Christmas is this pair of Degrade Waxed Calf Boots from LUISAVIAROMA‘s eShop.

CuriumThere’s a menswear and accessories line from Spain called Curium that we were tipped off to recently that we quite like, especially their bags.

Says the designer: “Curium explores male sexuality. It takes us to the world of ethereal and tenuous senses. A sophisticated and subtle sexuality, with no artifices.” Touch! For more info and more images, check out Curium‘s site.
