The Fall/Winter 2014-15 collection from Josep Abril for Barcelona 080 Fashion Week was called “Reflections.” The Catalan designer has been creating garments since 1996 and is well known around Barcelona and Madrid for being a creative and innovative artist.

The collection is urban and created for a modern man who isn’t a afraid to wear polka dots and mix and match patterns. Plaids dominated the runway, as they have for many of the Fall/Winter 2014-15 collections we’ve seen around the world. But different sizes, shapes and squares of plaid, which was a fun new twist. Navy, white, grey and blue were the colors mainly used, as well as several polka dotted items, like coats and pants. Streaks of red splattered the models here, adding a little punk into the show.

Abril has taken a new stance on button closure, choosing to steer away from the typical button-in-hole closure and create a strap to attach the button to the other side of the coat. Practical, not so sure, but definitely cool and unique. Leather backpacks and messenger bags, which are useful items for men, were also seen within the collection.
