Carlota Barrera

Carlota Barrera, a London-based designer, explores contemporary garments through a female gaze, deeply inspired by her Spanish heritage, queer history, and evolving gender identities. Her designs focus on the complex shapes and movements of the male body, viewed through a queer female lens, examining masculinity, male sexuality, and the emotions and behaviors associated with identifying as male.

Tailoring is a core feature in Barrera’s collections, where she reimagines and subverts classic silhouettes into fluid, contemporary designs. Her work often highlights hidden luxury in the unseen details, with slashed or cut-away suit jackets reflecting the deconstructed approach she applies to knitwear and undergarments. Barrera’s designs engage in a dialogue about gender and challenge rigid masculine rules, embracing new masculinities.

Born in Spain and a graduate of London College of Fashion (2018), Barrera has earned accolades like the Vogue Fashion Fund Spain in 2019 and gained experience working with prominent fashion houses.
