About Fàbregas (via 080) | Catalan designer born in Terrassa. Influenced by the underground and the G3 generation, Fàbregas began in the world of fashion in the opposite way to most designers: an engineer that gave shape the ideas of the creative artists, he realized that his technical answers required more interesting questions.

His overriding need to find new languages of communication led to his interest in various artistic disciplines such as painting, music and video art. The same intensity and power are aesthetically reflected in his work as a designer, which oscillates between Baroque grandiloquence and the monochromatism of black.

While the artist used technology as his primary tool at the beginning, he has since then redirected his creations toward more natural and simple elements. He sells his clothing in Paris
