Spring Summer 2024 – Generational Relay
Craft – The Making of Spring Summer 2024 Collection
Carlota Barrera draws attention to the beauty and value of handwork, highlighting the process and production time of everyday crafts, traditional Spanish craftsmanship and its vital importance for emerging designers, industry and cultural heritage.
Tension between conformity and rebellion is the concept of Carlota Barrera's new Spring- Summer 2024 collection "GENERATIONAL RELAY
Marked by extremes, contradictions and the renewal of social codes and standards, this collection is based on thoughts of reflection and freedom that marked the time. Street, asphalt and a mixture of cultural, musical and urban influences such as Patti Smith and Kurt Cobain give shape to a collection that speaks of creative freedom, authenticity and fluidity.

In this project, the brand also collaborates with Ábatte, a company that works with natural fibres in an old monastery in Segovia. Carlota Barrera has designed a delicate shirt, a unique limited edition piece, made with silk fabric hand-spun on her traditional loom.
Estaños de Pedraza, the last tin workshop in Spain, collaborates by making pieces such as accessories and appliqués for denim designed by Carlota Barrera, with the aim of paying homage to a trade with a long history on the verge of disappearing.
