Passion meets chaos behind the curtain.
The Bilbao Fashion Week last Saturday was no exception. Held at the iconic Palacio Euskalduna, it attracted around 300 attendees. Picture it: celebrities mingled with fashionistas, all anticipating the runway.
That kind of excitement creates a buzz. There’s something electric about fashion shows. It’s a spectacle, a whirlwind of creativity and nerves, where every detail counts.
Backstage, it’s a different world entirely. Half an hour before the show, nerves run high. Stylists rush to perfect hair and makeup. Can you imagine the pressure? Everyone works in harmony to create that flawless look.
In the flurry, familiar names emerged. Leire Merino, Izaro Aio, and Kepa Gallego graced the runway. Kepa, a seasoned actor, wore a retro Athletic Club shirt. It fit him perfectly. How different from the traditional designs strutting down the catwalk!
Designers like Eva Gómez and Eder Costume showcased dazzling creations. Yet, it was Marguín Valbuena’s jewelry that grabbed attention. Each piece felt alive, vibrant against the fabric.
Just before showtime, the room pulsed with energy. Jet Lag Disorder brought the crowd together, playing vibrant tunes. It was a beautiful chaos, knitting an atmosphere of joy and anticipation.
As the lights dimmed, the audience settled, ready for a feast for the eyes. Olga Zulueta, creative director, welcomed guests with a warm smile. The effort was palpable, a celebration of local talent and creativity.
Young designers stepped forward first, showcasing fresh ideas. Their pieces were bold, brimming with promise. But the seasoned designers weren’t far behind, offering their own refined styles.
The show was divided into segments. Each designer’s collection flowed into the next, like waves crashing on the shore. It wasn’t just about clothes; it was artistry in motion. Every garment told a story.
Amid the glamour, many from the local community attended. Politicians like Kontxi Claver and Eider Bilbao noted trends with keen eyes. Imagine their discussions about how fashion impacts local economies.
This cultural event also drew trend experts. They deciphered styles and made connections with upcoming designers. Idoia Odriozola and Alicia Giménez were all ears, absorbing every detail.
As the final act took the stage, Jon Zuazua rocked the crowd with raw energy. Each song lifted spirits and left a lasting impression. The night concluded, but the buzz lingered.
Fashion, after all, is a conversation. It bridges gaps, connects people, and keeps evolving. In Bilbao, this event showcased not just trends, but stories, friendships, and, within it, a community united by creativity.
