BOLAÑO

Manuel Bolaño, born in Barcelona but raised in Galicia, returned to Barcelona in 2002 to study fashion, graduating in 2007 from La Escuela Superior de Diseño y Moda Felicidad Duce, where he received the award for Best Graduation Collection. He has been a finalist and winner in various national competitions.

Selected for the “Projecte Bressol” by the Generalitat de Catalunya, he was able to present his first collection in 2008 at 080 Barcelona Fashion, a platform that recognized him as Best Women’s Designer in the Summer editions of 2011 and 2012.

Since 2018, Bolaño has been the Creative Director of “Plan B”, a continuous and timeless collection where garments are crafted artisanally, made-to-measure, and inspired by the romantic heritage of traditional ateliers. Bolaño has designed and created part of the wardrobe for the film La Piedad and the series Silencio by Eduardo Casanova, and has dressed chef Javier de Juanas for his clandestine dinners.

Throughout his career, Manuel Bolaño has built a loyal community that values his aesthetic coherence and creative independence. Rather than following the fast-paced rhythm of the industry, the designer has chosen his own path, defending fashion as a cultural and emotional expression. His work creates a recognizable imaginary where historical, theatrical, and intimate elements intertwine with sensitivity and character.
