The XXXIII Camariñas Lace Exhibition will demonstrate that 'Camariñas Surprizes'

The City Council of Camariñas today announced the long-awaited program of the XXXIII Camariñas Lace Exhibition of the Provincial Council of A Coruña, which will be held from Wednesday 27 to Sunday 31 March and which, with the motto 'Camariñas Surprende', wants to vindicate lace as a valuable element for getting to know the municipality, as well as the festivals, traditions, landscapes and gastronomy.

This intention has already been reflected in the poster, the work of the Galician designer based in Marbella, Esteban Freiría, which seeks a change of trend with respect to the image of previous editions and makes it very clear what the Mostra e lace is today: modernity and avant-garde. The poster seeks to imitate the most recognized headlines of fashion magazines and thus, on the one hand, attract the younger audience, and, on the other, put the focus on the fashion aspect rather than on the craftsmanship, which is also recognized.

One of the main novelties of this edition is the premiere of a new fashion show, 'ReEncaixame', which seeks to encourage designers to reinterpret an outdated collection by reusing both fabrics and lace from Camariñas. They must show how they reinterpret and transform the garments into a new collection with a focus on reusing materials and reducing waste. The participants paraded in one of the 29 editions of the Mostra's New Designers Competition. 

The parades of this thirty-third edition will be: Great Designers, some already consolidated and other new; New Designers; Artencaixe artisans; the new ReEncaixame parade; the International Delegations; the PequeEncaixe, the Senior Lacemakers…
