About us

Founded by Debora and Jadal, Italians who have lived in Barcelona since 2016, Anathema was born in the Catalan capital in 2018. It emerged from the desire to create a distinctive and avant-garde fashion language that fused minimalist aesthetics with conceptual depth and a strong sense of identity. It began as a personal, self-taught project and evolved in 2023 —after participating in the prestigious Barcelona Fashion Forward program— into a brand with a clear purpose: to represent the conscious, profound, and awakened human being.

We design exclusively in black because it represents individuality, elegance, and spiritual elevation. It is timeless, versatile, and full of meaning. For us, black is not just a color; it's a statement of identity for those who see fashion as a reflection of their inner world. Through the Conscious Avant-Garde, we connect fashion with a transformative vision of human beings and their environment.

We use high-quality natural fibers and deadstock fabrics sourced from European suppliers. All our garments are designed and produced in Barcelona in limited editions, allowing full traceability and strict quality control.

We draw inspiration from Japanese aesthetics, which influence our work through concepts like wabi-sabi, asymmetry, and the beauty of simplicity. Science fiction inspires us to imagine alternate realities and futuristic silhouettes. Together, these elements fuel our creative process and result in garments that feel timeless with a vision for the future.
