Fatima Miñana‘s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, showcased at 080 Barcelona Fashion, explores grief, art, and fashion. Inspired by the work of Egon Schiele, The Art of Loss delves deep into the emotional intensity associated with loss, translating raw emotions into avant-garde silhouettes.
Miñana’s collection is a testament to her ability to transform grief into a powerful artistic statement. By experimenting with unconventional cuts and draped geometrics, she challenges traditional notions of beauty and femininity. The garments, constructed from elegant and unusual fabrics, are a visual manifestation of the duality of creation and destruction. Through techniques of pattern deconstruction and sabotage of finishing, Miñana subverts the expected, creating garments that are both visually striking and emotionally resonant.
The collection’s exploration of the connection between fashion and death is particularly compelling. Drawing on Giacomo Leopardi’s idea that fashion and death share a common nature – ongoing change – Miñana invites us to consider the ephemeral nature of our existence. The Art of Loss serves as a timely reminder that amidst the fast-paced world of fashion, there is a deeper beauty to be found in contemplation and reflection.
