In Cardedeu, in Vallès Oriental, Catalan fashion brand Lola Casademunt is making the final preparations for its 45th anniversary fashion show, which will take place next week at Barcelona’s Llotja de Mar.

Creative director Maite Gassó, 56, welcomed reporters to the brand’s headquarters in Cardedeu, where teams are working across design, purchasing, logistics, technology, retail, marketing and communications.

The show is being planned as both a celebration and a tribute. In the atelier, staff are fitting garments from a new collection created specifically for the runway event.

Gassó said her mother, the brand’s founder, would be returning to the Llotja de Mar “through the front door” for the occasion.
