Dear Shaded Viewers and Diane,

 

A certain loose, pastoral wisdom warmly informs Miriam Ponsa's silhouettes for the winter to be. Inspired by wild grasslands and seasonally migrating people, the collection she presented yesterday at 080 Barcelona Fashion speaks of movement and responsiveness, of independence and bonds, and walks towards all stormy weathers perfectly equipped in its wools and hoods. Patience, the first virtue of the good shepherd, translates in soft hand-knitted pieces and traditional techniques, like the Spanish knot or the low warp loom, effectively upsized to apocalyptic scales: to better meet, perhaps, our very modern needs of ever endless warmth.
