TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 2008
Fad-ish
September not only means it's time to get back to work, but also that shopping for something suitable to wear for the 30 degrees outside is nearly impossible. Something nice and cool? How about a merino waffle-knit sweater and cashmere coat for you, sir?

Whilst the shops have only being selling marginally discounted left-overs for the past two months - things that nobody else wanted and were solely available in a size too big - at least there were some wearable options. Makes us long for next year's spring/summer collections already. Which now roll into town with this season's fashion week.

Yes, like skinny jeans and It bags, Barcelona Fashion Week is proving it's here to stay, as 080 struts into its third season tomorrow, followed by veteran ModaFad which enters its 26th edition on Friday.

If you can't get your hands on an invitation to see one of the shows, stop by FAD from today, where they open an exhibition celebrating the launch of the new book that records the past 25 editions.

080 Barcelona Fashion - September 3-5
ModaFad - September 5-6
ModaFad book exhibition - 9-20h, FAD, September 2-15
Launch party at Club Tropicana @ Lotus 23h Sep 2

NEW IN UJ TODAY

Design Temptations- Recdi8 This little store in El Born is full of small details ideal for gifting - more surprising than funny; curious rather than obvious; discrete over shrill.
NEW IN UJ LONDON

Time, Gentlemen Am I the only man to miss the simple joys in life, like an understated gin and tonic or a simple glass of fine Islay Scotch?

For Your Convenience Between buggies, Spanish schoolkids with matching neon backpacks and the general dawdling public, it's a short but certain road to a nervous breakdown.
