SYNTHE
- Jean-Pierre Bua, Shop director




DOPESHEET
During your next trip to Barcelona, a shopping trip to Jean-Pierre Bua's two boutiques is a must, he's a Frenchman who has been based in the Catalan capital for about 20 years. Passionate about fashion, he was the first to import a selection of up to the minute clothing by the trendiest big names and designers to this concept-store, from Jean-Paul Gaultier to Dries Van Noten and Martin Margiela. The shoes and accessories are not forgotten in this luxury store which changes each season

INTERVIEW (in french) Jean-Pierre Bua, Shop director:




Barcelona is love at first sight, I came by chance and spent a bit of time staying with people and a bit of family here and then I fell in love with the city which I really liked and I've been here 20 odd years now and I'm located here and completely adjusted. The city has the right balance, you can move here and it's not a small provincial town, it's a capital. We started up little by little, step by step we're here now, with two shops.
We were the first to bring Jean-Paul Gaultier to Barcelona, something which wasn't very easy at the start, seeing as the prices were raised, and people were a bit shocked, but one step at a time we've formed a clientele. At the moment Dries van Noten and Marni go down very well, Givenchy is starting to as well, Martin Margiela also works well. But we're trying to investigate a lot more because I think that now we have to offer our customers fashion, we have to return to fashion, stop the big marketing labels and offer fashion once again.
