From reuse to circularity, 080 REBORN explores the creative potential of second-hand fashion, champions textile care and proposes a more circular way of understanding fashion. #makefashionlast
A joint initiative by Girbau LAB, the Waste Agency of Catalonia and 080 Barcelona Fashion, with creative direction by Fermín&Gilles, celebrating its 5th edition in 2026.
2022
SECOND LIFE
The first edition puts second-hand clothing at the centre of the runway. Garments recovered from second-hand shops and waste sorting facilities are transformed into a new fashion proposal.
080 REBORN aims to promote the reuse and care of clothing to extend its useful life before it becomes waste.
A used garment still has a lot to say.

DENIM – UPCYCLING
Denim takes centre stage in an edition focused on upcycling. Recovered garments and materials are transformed into new designs, showing how what we consider waste can become a new creative opportunity.
The aim is to promote reuse, textile care and the transformation of existing materials, reducing the need for new resources.
What already exists can also become something new.

COUNTERCULTURE
Counterculture as a driver of transformation. The collection draws inspiration from four movements of social and cultural change: the French Revolution, British punk, the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the Soweto movement. The entire lookbook is created using second-hand clothing and elements.
By reusing garments, we care for them and extend their life, promoting a more circular culture of consumption and helping to reduce the environmental impacts associated with the use and consumption of clothing.
Fashion does not have to have just one life.
2025
LITERATURE
The past as a source of new life. The proposal combines literary imagery and Victorian Gothic with contemporary rebellion, alongside references to the 1960s, reinterpreting the intellectual fashion of those periods.
The collection transforms garments with a previous history into new expressions of fashion, demonstrating that second-hand fashion can be both creative and contemporary.
The legacy of fashion.

NOMAD
Garments migrate too. They move from one body, place and context to another, gathering new stories and meanings along the way. Nomad sees clothing as an archive in motion, capable of circulating and continually transforming.
Nomad promotes circularity and garment reuse, recognising that, when properly cared for, clothes can have multiple lives and owners.
Clothing continues its journey.
