I'm just coming back from Barcelona and saw what I guess is the trendy look overthere, as I went to Razzmatazz (Vive La Fête concert...) and then hang out with some of the "arty" scene - well that's what i heard and guessed as most of them did the BAC07 exhibit', some of them worked for Modorra, H, Neo2 etc.

imo, Barcelona's kids try a lot to look like the londoners clubkids but with their own crazy touch...
which is good...
and I think they are too much H&M too... but it's ok...
to me the typical spanish gay boy is : skinny jeans, big white trainers, big bag and mustache... but then you have the Bear community and then the Salvation/Appolo(?) scene... which is very different, I learnt...

but what I liked the most is the fact people are mixing together with no pb...
I mean in France, it's almost impossible to hang out with someone from VIIth arr. when you're from the bad "banlieue".... and in Spain people don't really care to hang out in Raval area eventhough they live next the tourist places (Catalunya etc.)....

it was a very funny trip... eventhough I think Barcelona is very dirty and people are not very polite (in the french meaning....) and I hated it when I was like
"heu hola... heu... donde esta...heu do you speak english? ok... where is the xxxxxx ... ? how much is this? etc." and people were answering me in catalan.... aaaaaaaahhhh I hated it... so I was like "ok, gracias" and then "what a b**** didn't she understand i wasn't catalan or even spanish!!!!!"

and maybe we met for the NYE... ahah... I was in the Raval area...

DEAR BERLIN ROCKS,

I FEEL SAD TO READ YOUR WORDS ABOUT MY CITY....I THINK THAT YOU MET THE NON-CORRECT PEOPLE. CATALAN PEOPLE ARE OPEN TO MEET PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES AND CULTURES. SORRY FOR HAVE THIS FEELING ABOUT US.

ABOUT THE FASHION....MADRID IS MORE AS MILAN AND BARCELONA IS A MIX OF LONDON/MILAN...WE LOVE FASHION...WE LIVE IN THE ZARA SHOPS WORLD!

^oh the people i met were really nice....

it's just in a museum.
for instance @ the MACBA - not the big white building... the one where it's free... just in front... i guess it used to be a church... where there was a very good exhibit'... if you live in Barcelona go and check... it's named Joan or something...
well there was a girl to who we asked something... and i never learn spanish so we made efforts... and she replied to us in catalan, said one of my friend...
...
or in shops... people are not saying adios when you leave the shop... i mean in France i always say "good bye, thanks" and people are replying... here nothing...
but my french friends i visited told me it was very different from France on that point... it's just a different culture...
and i must confess in France it does happen too...

or when you ask something in a supermarket... i asked for "water with gas, something like Badoit, Perrier or San Pellegrino..." and she could hear i wasn't spanish... and she replied to me in catalan... but a very nice barcelona girl translated it to me...
....
i mean in France when you go to Bayonne or Biarritz or anywhere else in the Pays-Basque or in Rennes in Bretagne, people are not talking in their dialect to foreigners...

anyway do not worry i really enjoyed Barcelona....
there's always some bad points... i didn't care, i really enjoyed it... and i want to come back again...
it was really fun.... you have good times overthere... and it's not expensive! ....

OK the thing in here, and I think with many of the post from other countries or cities, is that we are showing how people dress in some points of the city, some clubs, and also some cities.In Spain people dress totally different in many cities, and also there is a big difference between the north and the south, asweel as some people throughout most of the country follow some European trends, as the scene-style, the nu rvae, the scandinivian style, so we see more or less the same in some clubs, here in Spain, or in Berlin, Stockholm, London, or even New York, but at the end that are not the ways the people dress in there. The scene children now are dressing in all these places in a style that was originally form London, and then mixed by the Scandinivians, but I think it is more interesting, showing, how origianl fashion from a country is, not what people is wearing in a precise moment.
I dont know if a made me clear, but to summarize its like I think its more culturally interesting to see here the longterm-country-style trends, that not the trens of the moment, because I think that if you go to an "alternative"club in Barcelona/Berlin/London/....you will find probably the same style of people, probably there might be some differences, but not that big.

Sorry for being so long hehe.

 

[Pitusacola]

Yeah, I think Rocio_rs is right. I think there are many diferences between north and south, but at the end everyone dress the same way... But that's the trend, that's fashion...
In my opinion, In Barcelona people is more "alternative" than in Madrid... I think that as you advance to southern cities, Sapin become less european...

I love Barcelona, it's my fav city in the world.. I spent most of fall living there and I just want to go back..

stylewise I have to say it's mixed, generally I don't really like the style of most of the crowd (which I find shocking considering the lovely clothes u see in stores) but when u see someone dressing nicely it' AMAZING .. unlike stockholm where generally the people dress nicely but u can hardly see people with amazing style..
