This exhibition explores fashion and gender in early Spanish modernity, focusing on 1967, a pivotal year for Spanish fashion with the rise of prêt-à-porter and the cultural influence of the Bocaccio club. It examines the traditional distinctions in clothing codes for men and women, even within progressive circles.
Centered around the year 1967, a significant period for Spanish fashion as the industry adapted to international prêt-à-porter trends, 'Girls against Boys' investigates the complex relationship between fashion and gender. The exhibition draws inspiration from the cultural milieu of Barcelona's Bocaccio club, a hub for intellectuals and a symbol of modernity, founded by Oriol Regás in early 1967. A fashion show organized in June of that year showcased leading European avant-garde designs. Beyond commemorating this event, the exhibition critically analyzes the representation of masculinity and femininity and how traditional gendered clothing codes remained prevalent in Spain, even in modern epicenters like Bocaccio.
