Miguel Vieira
WHAT better themes for a collection
than fashion icons? Twentieth-century celebrities are portrayed
by Miguel’s clothes where irreverence, sensuality, charm and poise
are constants.
Fashion dictators live for style and obsession
is their passion, so prepare yourself for a mixture of tuxedos (Marlene
Dietrich-style) along with laser-cut long gowns where waist and
hips are ever defined. Fabrics such as silk, satin, pure wool, macramé
and cotton were present not only on the clothes but also on accessories
such as scarves, stoles, handbags and hats, in homage to Sinatra.

Dino Alves
TRYING to aspire to new role models,
Dino Alves has presented men’s and women’s collections that combine
new styles that vary from ‘rock ’n’ roll confused child" to
"Dolly Miss 60".
Using dyed textiles, see-through garments and
fur, Dino’s creation cannot be described as a continuous look, but
a multicoloured fantasy that makes you wonder if any scheme is acceptable.
With a lot of inspiration and new styles, Dino once again revealed
why he is one of the best Portuguese designers.
