As we already said it once
(see here), far, far away, under the shadow of Big Four fashion weeks, there is a great fashion market blooming. Portugal is not just about great weather, great wine and great sardines. It’s also about design and fashion and the last Portugal Fashion Week is the best prove to that.
39th Portugal Fashion took place last weekend in Lisbon and Porto. During the four days of fashion shows we could see SS17 collections by 17 designers, two designing duos, five ready-to-wear labels, six footwear brands and several young designers associated with The Bloom Platform. You would find everything here, from the classic, monochrome structures to colourful dynamic composition and contemporary details. Today we present two designers, that are the best example of that diversity.
Diogo Miranda. Elegance and subtlety.
Diogo Miranda began his professional career in 2007. Since then, he has presented all his collections at Portugal Fashion, but also debuted at Paris Fashion Week in 2015. In SS17 collection he turnes to Cubism, the first avant-garde art movement of the 20th century. Drawing inspiration from African and Native American art and sculpture the designer created collection characterised by simpler shapes and brighter colours.
Alexandra Moura. Style for individuals
Born in Lisbon, Alexandra Moura is specializing in Fashion Design Projects. Since April 2002, she presents her collections seasonally at ModaLisboa and designs costumes for dance performances, artists and singers. Moura developed her own unique style, that is visible through both female and male silhouettes.
