  After Bread & Butter end, Barcelona held a giant fashion show called The Brandery at the Montjuïc exhibition site. We are fascinated with it not because of the name, or the ambition of the show, but because they feature an early 1980s Chevrolet Caprice in their promotional posters. Such a nice advertisement that make a attractive eye sight! With less of the big brand names attending it will be a smaller event than B&B, but with an emphasis on local talent and labels like Armand Basi, Pepe and Lacoste exhibiting it might be a serious contender.
