Miriam Ponsa
MIRIAM PONSA is a women's wear brand based in Barcelona. MIRIAM PONSA project began in 2000 with the restoration of the old family factory, neglected for 5 years. The industrial spirit is very present in the MIRIAM PONSA universe, from the workshop where she designs each of piece, in the family factory of Manresa, to her stores, through the furniture restored from old factories and centenary textile workshops.
Miriam Ponsa graduated with an associate’s degree in fashion design from the University of Southampton (UK) and specialized in Knitwear Techniques and Design in Igualada. Miriam Ponsa designs all the collections in her workshop in Manresa and the garments are produced in workshops in Catalonia. Values like endeavor, team work and authenticity are important to her as well as the recuperation of handicraft techniques and they all form part of her manifesto. Non-conformist with materials and curious about techniques, Miriam Ponsa understands fashion as a discipline that is enriched by other arts. The research she carries out is completely free, based on her own experience and all that surrounds her. She combines the latest techniques with reminiscences of older skills and uses materials rarely used in fashion.
Her collections have received numerous accolades; the latest the award for the best collection for her collection “Mule Women” at the last edition of 080 Barcelona Fashion spring/summer 2015/2016, awarded by the Generalitat of Catalonia.
