La Roca Village is thrilled to announce that this year's ambassador is Georgina Chapman, designer and co-founder of luxury fashion brand Marchesa - a red carpet favourite for the likes of Penélope Cruz, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez and Blake Lively. Miss Chapman will attend the launch of the Barcelona Designers' Collective boutique alongside the new designers and the judging panel. As part of the wider celebration, the Village will be hosting a Best of Europe brands heritage tour all summer - a chance to discover the area in the best way possible: by hopping on a classic, retro-style Martone Cycling Co. bicycle, sampling truly wonderful food and music for a fast-track taste of the Mediterranean.

La Roca Village recently celebrated the launch of its new 40-boutique extension, now home to leading Spanish and international brands including Missoni, Baldinini, Hour Passion, Oro Gold, Fossil, Becara, Aristocrazy, Wolford, Vilebrequin, Salomon and Liu-Jo.
