By definition, extraordinary is everything that transcends what is
the norm... Everything that moves you, that makes you dizzy, that
impassions you. And there are no better words to define what we will
experience during this edition of Valmont Barcelona Bridal Fashion
Week.
VBBFW today means fashion, design, business, drive, a crossroads
for cultures and international transactions. It is a catalyst of trends,
a fusion between tradition and innovation. It is the stage on which the
main figures in the international industry meet to show, sell, purchase
and above all, to share the fashion that will arrive in the coming months 3
to enchant the women of the world.
A true celebration of creativity through the collections of renowned
designers and young talents, in a constant search for excellence, for
what is unique and... extraordinary.
Welcome to Barcelona
WELCOME TO Fashion, business and leisure are waiting for you.

WE CONQUER THE PRESENT TO PROMOTE THE FUTURE The passion, art and imagination of the most prestigious designers and firms in the world are embodied in a setting where the latest 5 innovations will be seen on the catwalks, trends are anticipated and the collections set to define the future of bridal fashion are revealed. This event, more international than ever, will welcome visitors from more than 90 countries and exhibit more than 900 dresses that will shine on the catwalks of the 35 Fashion Shows. The fair will bring together more than 400 leading brands at the Professional Trade Fair, the business platform with the greatest potential in the industry, where more than 28,000 different proposals will be on display. In addition, the best global talent will be projected at VBBFW. A demonstration of this is the Barcelona Bridal Night, the gala night of the industry, the star of which this year will be Marchesa. Similarly, once again we’ll present the ELLE International Bridal Awards, the awards that celebrate the talent in this industry on a global scale. While we’ll continue to promote New Talent with a show that will expand the horizons of new designers emerging on the scene.
TOGETHER TO PROMOTE INNOVATION, BEAUTY AND ART We’ve merged our strengths, our prestige and our vocation for fashion, art and beauty with Valmont, one of the most important firms in the world dedicated to producing high-end cosmetic with one hundred years of history. 7 Valmont will be present in the various sections of the fair, including backstage, where a large care and relaxation area has been prepared, devoted to the well-being of the models who will feature in more than 35 catwalk shows that have been scheduled. “The Alliance has kicked off with the purpose of adding synergies of two companies that share ideals and value innovation, quality and internationalization to evolve. These are the basis of a successful collaboration that will without question contribute positively to both companies and the brands that take part in VBBFW.” - Salvador Tasqué, Business Director of all Fira’s owned exhibitions. “We both feel a real enthusiasm for the concept of beauty applied to art, women and fashion”. Estermaria Laruccia, Event Director VBBFW “This partnership represents a milestone for the Valmont Group in its undertaking to become a benchmark for innovation in the world beauty sector”. Julien Michoud, CEO of Valmont South Middle Europe

TRADITION AND MODERNITY COMBINE
AT AN EXCLUSIVE WORKSHOP
VBBFW is not just about discovering the future of fashion, but also
about encourage the knowledge. This year we’re holding a workshop
with students from the IED Design School in Barcelona on the fusion
of new digital techniques with traditional methods in bridal fashion
creations.
We’ll discover innovative fabrics and materials and learn more about
the latest digital manufacturing techniques (such as 3D printing) and
their impact on traditional craftsmanship.NEW TALENTS
There is a growing commitment to emerging artists at VBBFW
with the holding of the New Talents show to display the collections
of five designers destined to set trends.
SIMONE MARULLI
As regards art, his creation is regarded as art in itself. Similarly, the designer
Simone Marulli’s collection is the result of the inspiration and creativity of every
tiny detail created by the art of fashion.
SIMONE LORENA PANEA
LORENA MIREIA
MARULLI A designer of wedding and party dresses and other luxury accessories with its
PANEA BALAGUER roots in ancient Egypt and made in Spain. A philosophy based on timelessness,
personalisation and sustainability, with designs that seek a balance between
originality, elegance and minimalism. 17
MIREIA BALAGUER
“Daring, risky and confident; that’s what the designs are like. They bear my identity.
We dress dreams. We replace the magic wand with the sewing machine, magic
dust with patterns and spells with her designs. With effort, hard work, creativity,
ingenuity and risk we’ve refined our work and achieved exclusive and personalised
items. That makes the brand special and unique”.
OLGA MACIÀ
Olga Macià discovered her vocation for fashion design by merging sensitivity
and perseverance imbued into her life through drawing and dance. As a designer,
she is guided by realistic lines, solely resorting to the all-in-one concept of Elsa
Schiaparelli, in whom she finds her inspiration, creating a woman with a complete
and sophisticated look who perfectly integrates her garments into her personality.
POESIE SPOSA
Poesie Sposa came into being in 1998 through Isabella Tagliferri’s passion for
haute couture, which drove her to travel in search of the most sophisticated
wedding dresses. A few years later, the meeting with Elisa Orlandini made Poesie
Sposa what it is today, a creativity workshop that feeds on its love of beauty. All
the collections are inspired by the world of poetry and, through poetry, they pay
tribute to love.
