ModaLisboa - Lisboa Fashion Week
MULTIPLEX
SS 2019

ModaLisboa - Multiplex edition took place from 11 - 14 October at the Pavilhão Carlos Lopes, celebrating the multiple ways of living and making fashion. The SS2019 edition of the biggest fashion gathering in Portugal, successfully showcased the most important Portuguese designers, industry professionals, journalists and international guests. It was a real pleasure to be part of this celebration again.

In addition to catwalk shows, Wonder Room and talks a new feature to the programme was introduced, the Workstation. The multidisciplinary platform contained design, fashion, photography and illustration. Five young designers presented their collection on October 11 in the gardens of Estufa Fria. Among them FASHIONCLASH Festival participants João Oliveira and Filipe Augusto and designers Tiago Loureiro, Cristina Real and António Castro. Throughout the days that follow the photographers and illustrators showed their view on the Multiplex edition. In particular, the works of the illustrators Perky Mary, Mafalda Fialdo and Camila Gondo were noticed.

The fashion show schedule kicked off on Friday with emerging designers. ModaLisboa continues their support for new talent through Sangue Novo (New Blood) platform. 10 designers where selected to show their collection, among them the FASHIONCLASH Festival talent Pu Tianqu from China. Since several editions, the platform has been broadened to include international designers, making it an exciting mix.

FASHIONCLASH Festival winner, Carolina Raquel

On behalf of FASHIONCLAH, I had the pleasure to meet all the designers and choose one as winner of FASHIONCLASH Festival 2019. Making the decision was not easy! All candidates presented interesting proposals. Eventually there can be only one winner and this time I named Carolina Raquel as winner. Certainly, worth mentioning are Saskia Lenaerts who will proceed her path at the MA at Central Saint Martins, the conceptual designer Federico Protto, the Spanish designer Victor Huarte and the one-to-watch designer from Portugal, Rita Carvalho.

Away to Mars

The intensive program with shows from well-known and upcoming designers took place in the coming days. Even the threat of Hurricane Leslie could not stop fashion storm that hit the Pavilhão Carlos Lopes and the surrounding parks. Even the National Museum of Ancient Art was hit. The always anticipated show by Nuno Gama took place in the museum. The mannequins were scattered on the floor dedicated to Portuguese painting and sculpture. The models where places as "living" statues among the exhibited works of art. The Saint Vincent Panels, which are on the third floor of the National Museum of Ancient Art (MNAA), were the main reason for Nuno Gama to choose the place to present his collection.

Powered by Portugal Fashion, Alexandra Moura was returned to ModaLisboa, presenting the 'Heirloom' collection inspired by childhood heritage. Telling a story of a girl from the city that spends her holidays on her grandmother's house in the countryside.


Away to Mars again presented a strong collection with beautiful prints and beautiful ready-to-wear garments. Their Drawn by Light collection was not only a complete story, but also the cast models was on point. Aleksandar Protic always presents well-designed pieces where you can clearly see the hand of the couturier who respectfully deals with fabrics and knows how to dress the female body. This time he surprised with a wider range of colours and garments. He succeeded with the application of neon. Other highlights were the collections of Patrick de Padua, Luis Carvalho, Ricardo Andrez, Kolovrat and Constança Entrudo.

Nuno Gama at ModaLisboa VISION

Nuno Gama FW 2014/15 at ModaLisboa VISION

Nuno Gama treated the audience with a big show on public square in Lissabon. The show was opened
with a marching military fanfare on horses (Portuguese National Guard Parade Band). This was a spectacular prelude to his military-inspired collection. The show provided a wonderful backdrop.
Here are some impressions.

Luís Buchinho is a new name to me but in Portugal it is an established designer. The show took place outside, with Lissabon town hall as the backdrop. This presentation suited the collection in favor. Highlights of the collection where the jackets and the prints.

One of the designers that I met at the [C]Kult exhibition last weekend was the promising fashion deigners Daniela Barros from Portugal.
Daniela Barros graduated from Oporto Fashion Academy 'EMP'in 2008 and since her graduation she has produced several collections and has started to develop her brand. The collection that she presented in Paris showcased some very beautiful and well tailored pieces. It is a feminine and sophisticated collection with very nice textiles, prints and details. There are also some very cool styling pieces and accessoires.

Take a look at her work.
