As the Moda Lisboa, Lisbon Fashion Week comes to an end, it was a beautiful sunny day in the Portuguese capital. It was the day of six talented designers showed their bets for the autumn winter collection.

The first two runway shows were from the LAB platform. It started with the menswear designer, Ricardo Andrez, who presented a collection full of lively and vivid colors in a sporty style. Then came Marques’ Almeida and his collection “youth, effortless and coll” inspired by the grunge of the 90s, with oversized silhouettes mixed with fairer ones in shades of gray, black and acid yellow. The makeup was soft, with discreet smoky eye and a slight touch of color on the lips.

Ricardo Dourado introduced his first menswear work with a collection called “Rioters.” Following the trend seen in all the days of Lisbon Fashion Week, contrasting materials and oversized pieces were the focus of the collections. The star of next season was also present, the blue appeared in two beautiful shades plus black and gray. The makeup was very discreet, without much detail.

Opening the main hall for the most expected runway shows of the day, Pedro Pedro presented a charming collection that stood between the classic, sporty and urban chic, resulting in a fashion “streetwear couture materials” in black pieces, prints, shades of brown, orange, beige and exquisite shades of blue. Despite some oversized items, the collection “Urban Mix” managed to maintain an elegant and elongated silhouette. The hair were pulled up carelessly and the makeup reused the soft smoky eyes and nude lips.

Alexandra Moura introduced the concept of “Agri…Doce” (“Bitter…Sweet”) to her collection, which emerged from the need to work the comfort of the most structured and the most romantic details, blending city world with rural to find the perfect balance. The “Bitter” refers to heavier lines, urban, predominantly black, while the “Sweet” refers to the romance, the floral pattern in shades of red, white and a greater smoothness in the pieces. Therefore, the collection is based on opposites, male/female, light/heavy, structured/romantic, large/fair, short/long, rural/urban. Makeup consisted of eyes softly delineated and vibrant red lips. On their heads, all models wore a leather cap.

Filípe Faísca was the closing designer of this edition of the legendary Portuguese fashion event, and he did so in style. With a dramatic entrance to the sound of rain, thunder and birds, the collection proposed a structured silhouette and the idea of protection. For this purpose to be accomplished, the designer used many layers of draping, pleats, and oversized coats in contrast with fine fabrics, lace, leather and lots of transparency. The colors played on a palette of shades of gray, beige, black and white to which highlighted this elegant collection. This powerful and feminine women were accentuated by the makeup with a strong eyeliner for a cat eye effect and nude lips, completing the look with big topknots in the hair.

But no time to rest, the preparations for the spring/summer 2013 collection have already begun, which will be launched at the next Moda Lisboa in october, 2012.

On a hot afternoon in Lisbon, the catwalks was boiling and many designers were cheered and received standing ovations in another great night of Moda Lisboa — the Lisbon Fashion Week. The designers on Saturday gave a formidable show of elegance and sophistication. The excellence of the materials, the maturity of the collection the cut and details of the pieces provided refinement worthy of a gala evening.

The hot Lisbon afternoon began with the parade of jewelry designer Valentine Quaresma. Based on microscopic pictorial patterns, the collection was titled “Virus”, investing in silver as a trend.

The second and third show were from the LAB. The first by Os Burgueses, who presented the collection “Home”, proposing a “journey in discovery [of] what binds us to each other” with a lot of synthetic leather, poplin and jersey pieces in predominantly black and gray, but red and dark blue was present to liven the casual look for day and night. The menswear designer Daniel Diniz presented the second show from the LAB platform. With a very basic proposal and sportswear influenced by Tibet, what we saw was a “mixture of baseball players, Tibetan monks, nomads, vagabonds and martial art fighters.” The highlight was bare feet and “dirty” faces that characterized the influences of the collection. However, the strength of the collection was recycling, the fabrics used being leftovers from previous collections.

Maria Gambina presented the “Otherness”, an urban collection with a strong influence on hockey. The silhouettes were in ‘Y’, with oversized jackets and contrasting tights pants. The blue and red emerged as a point of color between black and white pieces. The makeup was simple and pretty, with smoky eyes, lashes and nude lips. Focus was on the fringes on the clothing and the hair of the models, which were wrapped in a black cap with platinum blond hair on top, marked a ridge.

The guest designer, Peter Drzal, presented a quick game of relaxed compositions in his collection “Go, Now, Here” inspired by American football pictures and a futuristic version of the gentleman look. Smooth lines, fluid and transparent fabrics; Shades of wine, ocher, brown and a vibrant blue gave more life to the pieces. Highlight were prints in arabesque, bicolor pieces, colored collars and cuffs. The men stood out at times by their red shoes, sometimes by hats, while the women paraded with beautiful make-up including smoky eyes in earthy shades and burgundy lips.

The main runway shows of the day were by Miguel Vieira, Nuno Baltazar and Nuno Gama, undoubtedly the major highlights of this sumptuous evening.

Betting on the classic cut, perfect modeling and the quality of fabrics, Miguel Vieira proposed “Vestir o Fado” (Dress up the Fado) in an elegant collection that “redefines and revitalizes the form of approach to culture and the root of fado.” The designer used leather and fur, as well as pure wool, egyptian cotton, jacquard, velvet silk and duchese satin. The elegance of black was increased with shades of gold, gray, green, brown and beige. For men it was tailored cuts in structured pieces, while for women, slim silhouette and hourglass shapes, enhancing the sensuality of a classic design with contemporary details. Highlight were on the gloves and the wonderful shoes. The makeup was in shades of brown, with heavily lined eyes in black and brown lips. The models had their hair aside, wet and tied with big glasses and beautiful earrings. The geek chic style also fell upon men.

With interpretations of Pina Bausch’s universe and the song “The Man I Love” – the theme of this collection – from George and Ira Gershwin Gershin, the designer Nuno Baltazar had created pieces designed at the movement level, with many draping, ruffles and trompe l’oeil effects. Overwrought shoulders, extra-large coats, fluid fabrics and warm colors resulted in a demi-couture, easy-wear, urban, feminine and sophisticated collection, despite cuts of masculine inspirations. Contrasting with black, the designer used the warm tones of orange and red to make the pieces more vibrant, and also earth tones, nude and gold. Marked cheeks and bright red lips were the highlights in makeup.

To finish with a golden ticket, the busiest show of the night was the designer Nuno Gama. “Be God’s” showed a stylish and refined collection for a grown man, sure of himself yet careful, that left a trail of a sensual virility in the air. The cut, the wearability and excellence of the materials were under a code much more clean and relaxed, where the focus was in the details. Blazers in a traditional construction with shirts or mesh in luxurious materials and tight pants comprised an elongated silhouette for these new urban gentlemen. Shades of brown, blue, chocolate, gray, mustard and burgundy gave much more glow to this collection. Highlights were berets and cheeky mustaches.

The second day of Lisbon Fashion Week revealed a host of new trends and the creativity of designers surprised the audience.

The night began with the collection of V!itor, another talent from LAB platform which we mentioned in our previous report. Under the theme “Life and Death”, the designer sought to celebrate life through death, as could be seen in veils that covered the faces of the models like in a funeral cortege. He was inspired by the work of Marina Abramovic, resulting in a somber collection due to the predominance of black in very comfortable pieces. Tight trousers, large blouses and cleavages were present in this collection. The makeup was very simple, with just a slight tone of orange on the eyelids and nude lips.

The second show of the night squandered originality with an unusual entrance. Everyone thought it was going to be a quick show because the all models entered and left together on the catwalk, the music stopped and the lights went out. However, after initial moments of doubt, the models returned one by one dressed in the charming collection by Katty Xiomara. In addition to basic black and gray, blue, pale pink, nude and purple tones made all the difference in the collection, giving lightness and femininity to the look. The colorful details in the collars, bars, shoulders and wrists gave extra charm to spare. With the exception of glasses painted on the models faces, the makeup was very light, just eyeliner, long lashes, coral lipstick and peach blush.

The grand entrance of Dino Alves was only the prelude to his exuberant collection. The goal of the designer was to play with shadows and what they can reveal. The contrast between stamped or colored parts and the simpler and more neutral colors was the key point of collection. Besides the many prints, oversized pieces mixed with tight ones, asymmetry and many slits helped to compose an elongated silhouette, making up austere and fluid pieces in the collection. The highlight was the colors: red, gold, blue gray, gradients and prints. The use of transparent fabric and overlaps remain in this collection, and the oriental inspiration. Pulled eyeliner and strong colors on the lips were the makeup highlights.

To end the shows on Friday, Ricardo Preto presented a beautiful and elegant collection. Betting on the sobriety of the pieces, the designer’s goal was to highlight the colors that stand out in Portugal, resulting in a collection with new cuts and silhouettes inspired by the present and future. The highlight was on cleavages and the use of pleated fabrics that enhance sensuality. Fluid fabrics, colored lining, oversized and asymmetrical jackets with a mens cut also gained prominence in the collection along with the use of vibrant colors such as green, mustard and a beautiful dark pink, besides the white pieces contrasting with the traditional dark colors of the season. A strong makeup with smoky eyes and blush marking the cheeks was the make-up theme while hair centered around a bun made of dreadlocks.

The fashion world in Lisbon is celebrating: Yesterday began the 38th edition of Lisbon Fashion Week, Moda Lisboa, with their prospects for the next autumn/winter collection. Under the theme ‘Freedom’, the designers have abused their creativity in collections that promise a lot of vivacity and sensuality.

The night began with the premiere of Say My Name, a new talent launched by the LAB platform. Catarina Siqueira sought oriental inspiration in samurais and kimonos to design their pieces. This inspiration generated oversized look, but with a strong structure that resembles the armor of warriors (including armor accessories) as overlapping plates (shoulders and abdomen) and raglan sleeves. The asymmetry in blocks of colors was the key point in this collection. To contrast with the traditional black of the season, the designer chose shades of cooper, orange and a soft tone of lavender. The sum of these factors makes the designs result in a casual and comfortable look prioritizing jersey and the felt 3D technology. The makeup was simple; a well-made skin with almost no blush, emphasis on black eyeliner and a brown shade imitating the trace of the eyeliner in the concave of the eye. The hair also had oriental inspiration.

The second fashion show was provided by the White Tent. The designer pair bet on a minimalist collection, with comfort and usability at the center of their pieces. The predominantly black was broken with a beautiful shade of blue, pink, orange and copper tones. Adidas sneakers fit perfectly with the minimal and sportive propose of the dual. Again, the jersey was present in a collection to give life and asymmetries to the overlapping pieces. For hair and makeup the word of order was convenience, following the trend of the clothes with a healthy skin tone with just slightly smoky eyelids in shades of gray and blue and a casual hair bun.

The collection of the Bosnian designer Lidija Kolovrat showed off pieces that “are themselves a study” to explore more casual ways to use them. The pieces have been restructured following the oversized trend with a strong asymmetry. The goal of the designer was to explore the shapes and create vertical silhouettes to involve the body, in contrast with the draped structured forms and transparency. Besides the classic black and gray, the color palette had shades of purple, blue and graphic prints. The detail in the makeup was on account of a dramatic cat eye, but the highlight of the production was the hat with long hairpieces.

To end the first night in a big way, Louis Buchinho squandered sensuality and elegance on a collection made to move from the runway to the Portuguese sidewalks. The goal of the designer was “put the sidewalk in high heels”, betting on tight lines to give femininity and sensuality to your creation. The collection was marked by the graphics and the asymmetry that the Portuguese sidewalk provide, which were highlighted by the sobriety of the chosen colors, shades of gray, beige and blue, and the classic black and white. The makeup and hair were simple and followed the autumn/winter trend showed in the fashion weeks of Milan and Paris; loose and slightly curled hair allied with beautiful lips in a fabulous shade of wine to make the models look divine.

Not just the catwalk, which was an explosion of creativity and style, did justice to the theme of this fashion week: The onlookers were equally dressed in the code of ‘Freedom’. Always eclectic, the style of the public made the smooth transitions between the classic and modern in the blink of an eye, a mix of styles, colors and accessories, making the crowd around you a second fashion show as soon as the main one turn off the lights.

Today the event continues with the collections of V!tor (LAB), Katty Xiomara, Dino Alves and Ricardo Preto. With great expectations we look forward to the second night of the Lisbon Fashion Week 2012.

The last day of Moda Lisboa was a continuity of a spectacular fashion show, Daniel Diniz, a Portuguese designer, started off with a different kind of show. Male models came down the catwalk in bathing trunks and started to dress up in front of the public. The summer collection of Diniz is based on white, gray, and ecru colors but includes Portuguese inspiration through tons of blue, connected to the traditional and famous decor of cities around Portugal. The clothes combined comfort and lightness for men the next summer.

The next collection, creations by Marques’Almeida, presented a relaxed and young look for women based on street style. The blue tones and white contrast were predominant in the oversized clothes with distinct silhouette mainly in denin, cotton and silk.

Following the schedule, Katty Xiomara brought a feminine collection inspired by butterflies to women, displayed through the movements and flow in dresses and skirts, colors, mainly orange, yellow, white, black, gray and nude tons, and marked belt. She offered an amazing show full of elegance and class for the next spring/summer season.

Glamour is without doubt the best word for the runway of Miguel Vieira. Men and women in preparation of an elegant trip were the inspiration of the designer. White was combined with gold details or in the case of the men’s wear, a colorful touch.

Aleksandar Protic brought black, marfin and red colors to women’s dress, playing with transparence and strong cuts. Sensual clothes with personality were presented this time and the audience was really impressed with this great collection.

The night continued and one of the most famous and anticipated designers, Nuno Gama, started off. His menswear collection showed high quality work and it could not be any different as his inspiration comes from ‘pleasures in life’. In an interview, he told to Toonari Post:

My inspiration is from my life, my friends, my family, my Portugal, my travels, my experience. (..) The secret is just to stay in love and then I have the joy and pleasure to work and bring this to the clothes.

Nuno Gama collection left the public breathless and was strongly applauded by everybody.

Ricardo Dourado presented a sport deluxe collection for both men and women. It was a street style in black, gray and white with interesting cuts. For men, once more the fake skirts were aired for the next summer. Cotton gave the touch of comfort and free movement to his collection.

Closing this 2011 edition of Moda Lisboa, the last designer Dino Alves came with an overload of lace and embroidery combined with strong colors. His idea is new romantic and new chic. He is famous for inspiring new trends and we believe he did it again.

The Moda Lisboa Fashion Week 2011 is over but the gorgeous trends for the next spring/summer was graciously shown in this great event by the remarkable designers.

Practice makes perfection as they say and, the third day of Moda Lisboa Fashion Week proved the point. It was superb: great designer, stunning runways, an explosion of emotions inside clothes.

The tight schedule of showing so many ideas and creative expressions took its beginning with Say My Name, trying to emulate Sophia Loren in the 50s as a tech blogger. The audience was divided on the outcome of this experiment but beyond this, everyone seemed satisfied with the combination of colors and lines.

Afterwards for the widely expecting menswear, Ricardo Andrez brought his collection of black, grey and pastel tones with good shapes and designs. You can easily identify his work due to the strategical placements of nude skin which facilitate better movement in the garment while at the same time, offering a cool and alternative style to men.

The following show was explained in the passionate words of its creator — Filipe Faísca told Toonari Post the reason why he choose to create emotion instead of just clothes:

My inspiration for this collection first is the movie of Terrence Malick, The Tree of Life — full of images about cosmos, explosions, grace and movement where I wanted put the woman’s body and transport it to the feminine universe. Following, [it is] also based in my desire to bring color and life to Portugal, [inspired by] such amazing beaches and [the] long summer and mainly having in mind my biggest goal: to see the pleasure of a woman dressed my clothes. (…) Each model was made one by one in my atelier for I [want to] be sure about how special [it] will be in the end.

The audience was stunned by the high level of creativity, movement and femininity oozing from Filipe’s collection. It was one of the highlights of the night for sure.

Lidija Kolovrat also offered a colorful show, dressing the women in transparent and light materials that gave the audience the feeling of lightness and joyful ease while simultaneously conveying elegance. It was possible to take in her presentation in two stages; the first moment of serenity through her black and pastel tones and afterwards, a colorful burst filled with animal-, shape- and line-print fabrics.

It had been a long day of breathtaking runway, but it didn’t fase Dawid Tomaszewski who had prepared a sophisticated collection with pink in different shades, combined with classic nude. His inspiration is based on flowers and the transitory cycle of life, where the end is the beginning and with this he went from light pink to strong pink and also included shimmery materials. Elegancy would be the best adjective to describe his wonderful pieces.

Changing the structure of the day a bit, Adidas hit the runway with great energy and power. The sportswear company showed a clean and casual line followed by an American-influenced, urban jungle style. The Performance Collection was dedicated to runners and other training needs as well as sports like football and tennis. Men and women were walking with confidence, showing the power and versatility of the collection.

White Tent brought back the classic and delicate energy to Moda Lisboa, presenting their designs inspired by architecture and minimalist details. The predominance of nude tones paired with silhouettes was marked by different proportions and was a tasteful pleasure to the appreciation of the audience. There were a few dashes of royal blue, green, orange and metallic silver coming up in the collection but they helped uphold a harmony in the final product. It is definitely worth checking our piece by piece.

The last designer of the night, Nuno Baltazar, dressed his models in his collection called MA DAME — a cosmopolitan and dynamic style of dress. The pieces were both urban and feminine, clean and elaborated, with special details such as geometric lines, accessories and formal elements. The final collection of the day received a standing ovation and deserved it.

Now, it is just a nights wait for the last day of this long weekend of exquisite catwalk which has brought great life to the warm Lisbon and at the same time delivered good taste and wonderful designs to the world.

Starting the second day at Moda Lisboa, FASHION should be the most used word in Portugal and the young Portuguese designer Vitor matched it by offering a collection full of energy, inspired by gipsy culture and style.

He talked about his secret with Toonari Post:

“It’s a really personal project, comes from my wardrobe, comes from the clothes that I use to wear (…) and I worked on top of that and I gave a very new understanding for the bio. (…) In my case is biographical, so, is everything part of me.”

There’s no doubt about his great energy in his collection. And to the ones curious to know more about him, Vitor will soon launch a book about himself, a novel matching truth and lies.

After Vitor, another great designer brought color to the catwalk: Ricardo Preto, with a stunning harmony between clothes and women. The models were almost flying on the runway. Pink, black, blue, floral, transparence and lightness made Ricardo Preto’s collection beautifully feminine. The next summer is gonna be really well designed.

The collections far had increased the audience’s expectations, but the next Portuguese designer Luis Buchinho was definitely ready to bring on surprises. With his take on the colors for the next summer, Luis Buchinho combined the tropical tones of sun and palms with an elegant antique touch. The texture of the pieces on his models reminded us of warriors with the metallic protection under the armor, but this collection comes with decorative colors and ropes, infusing the clothes with a playful spirit.

The night’s international touch came from Brazil with Cia Maritima — their line of beachwear foresees a chic-cool summer where it is possible to realize the combination between comfort and fancy details. The presenters said that the goal is to reproduce the beauty of the summer nature in elegant beachwear, and this was surely reached.

Finishing the day with a golden key, Ana Salazar — famous designer and one of the most anticipated of the event — presented a stunning collection. Differing from the evening’s previous colorful shows, she played with geometric shapes and volumes using a color palette composed of black, white, and nude skin tones. It was the positive breakdown of the night.

Once again, we’re looking forward to tomorrow. Until then, check out the Moda Lisboa pictures and the trends of next summer from the designers and also the super creative audience who is making this fashion week one big event in Lisbon.

Yesterday, the sunny Lisbon welcomed the 20th Fashion Week Edition and the Portuguese Designers will have until October 9^th to show their creativity and perspective for next summer.

The event started with “Os Burgueses” bringing forward a pale lavender pink, grey and white with lightness and movement. The goal was to offer a casual style but with a touch of classical twist. “Os Burgueses” has increased the expectations and the curiosity about what will come during the next days.

Afterwards it was time for Alexandra Moura to present her collection full of lines, different materials, light colors combined with strong green and black. She offered different cuts for women and men, and for last she played with half-skirts, to the great surprise and attention of everybody.

Pedro Pedro, the next designer of the night, played with colors and embroidery by combining inspiration of classic sportswear from the 50’s with medieval style. It’s possible to find a lot of colors but mainly neutral tones and special details on the back stood out.

On the schedule for ModaLisboa’s first night, Maria Gambina showed a delightful collection of women dressed in white, Chantilly, camel, green and black plus special shapes, making it possible cover skin without touching it. She strategically left spots uncovered, giving the collection a sensual touch without being vulgar — it showed in her carefully crafted collection of t-shirts and dresses. Speaking of her men’s design, it was clean and light, offering an exclusive selection of short shorts.

To finalize the first day of runway, Alves/Gonçalves showed an amazing collection that wooed a lot of people with stunning dresses sure to deliver glamour to its wearer. They played with a strong pink and different shapes and volumes, while at the same time allowing tight fit. Their collection was glamorous and offered something unique to a broad range of tastes.

Besides the main attraction, the public also managed to deliver a beautiful sight. What you could see was an explosion of style and creativity, proving that people were up to the task of being their own professional designer. Hair, clothes, accessories and attitude were walking around the area and gave such a special touch to the event. The first day of Moda Lisboa had people looking excited and thrilled to see what would come up next this weekend.

Paulo Meixedo and Filipe Fangueiro, directors of the men’s fashion magazine DSECTION, distributed around Europe, New York and Brazil, spoke with Toonari Post about their perspective of Moda Lisboa:

“I think Lisbon Fashion Week is still small, but starts growing day after day (..) I am waiting for the next days. I guess if we give our market a chance to grow, of course people start to do more creative things. We are not so big as Paris or London, but it is already 20 years and in the right path (..) We are waiting to see a men catwalk, and then think about the Spring/Summer Edition to use international and Portuguese designers in our magazine.”

On the second day, designers Vitor, Ricardo Preto, Luís Buchinho, Ana Salazar and the Cia. Maritima will take the stage. For more details, please return for next update.
