"Enllaços de memories"

Competitions: Fashion Competition 2026
This collection of accessories is born from a deep emotional bond with Catalonia, a land dear to the designer not only for its cultural richness, but above all for a personal relationship made of memory, affection, and nostalgia. The project develops around the concept of craftsmanship, understood not only as technical skill, but as an identity language capable of telling stories, traditions, and relationships. The central element of the collection is the weaving technique, chosen as both an aesthetic and symbolic expression. Interlacing becomes the guiding thread that unites matter and meaning: on one hand, it represents a manual, precise practice rooted in tradition; on the other, it takes on a deeper value, evoking the idea of connection, sharing, and collective construction. To intertwine means to bring different elements into relation in order to create something new, stronger, and more resilient, just as happens in human bonds. This dual interpretation is inspired by two important expressions of Catalan culture: the “Sardana” and the “Castellers.” The Sardana, a traditional dance in which people of all ages hold hands forming a circle, becomes a metaphor for unity and belonging, a suspended moment in which the simple gesture of interlaced hands generates community. The castellers, on the other hand, represent the strength of collaboration: human towers built through balance, trust, and mutual support, where each individual is essential to the stability of the whole. Within the collection, these inspirations are translated into forms, textures, and details that visually and conceptually recall interlacing. Surfaces come alive with complex weaves, materials interact with one another, and the structures of the accessories reflect a balance between solidity and flexibility. Each piece thus becomes not only a functional object, but a narrative fragment, capable of evoking both personal and collective memories. The collection therefore proposes itself as a bridge between past and present, tradition and contemporaneity, celebrating Catalan craftsmanship through an intimate and reinterpreted vision. Interlacing, in its duality, becomes a symbol of what unites and strengthens: hands, stories, cultures, and memories that, by intertwining, give life to something authentic and enduring.
