First pop-up restaurants, now pop-up stores! The Roof Sevilla Popup Store is an ambitious initiative by a group of young professionals in the fields of fine art, design and photography, combining fashion, decoration, food and art in one place. This five-day event not only gives designers a unique venue in which to display and sell their items, it also provides a meeting point for professionals in the fashion industry, artists, bloggers, media and the general public. The store will be distributed throughout the beautiful Casa Romana boutique hotel, in its patios, meeting areas and rooftop terrace.

Rompemoldes Días Europeos

rompemoldes dias europeosWhen I first visited Rompemoldes Creative Craft Space a couple of weeks ago I was told about the “Días Europeos” open house planned for this weekend and have been looking forward to going. Most of the workspaces will be open to the public so it’s a great opportunity to see this modern version of a corral de vecinos “in action”.

There are workshops and demonstrations planned both days and I’m very interested in seeing the Gastromoldes event on Saturday as that studio wasn’t open during my last visit. There will also be guest artisans showing their work along with the resident artists.

Looks like the weather is going to cooperate as well!

Pasión Flamenca

Passing by the Fontecruz Hotel last night with my Flamenco & Tapas Tour clients we couldn’t help but notice a long red carpet out front. It turned out that there was a one-night-only exhibit called “Pasión Flamenca” going on inside, a homage to the Andalusian traje de flamenca featuring 12 designers from Sevilla and Cádiz, each of whom had created a red flamenco dress for the occasion. We were invited to come in and have a look around and it ended up being quite a fitting “extra” for our evening of flamenco and tapas.

The designers: Amparo Macia, Angeles Verano, Aurora Gaviño, Cañavate, Lina, Manolo Giraldo, Nuevo Montecarlo, Pepa Garrido, Pilar Vera, Pitusa Gassull, Pol Núñez and Rosalía Zahíno. Accessories by Sabina.
