 Time for reflashion—Moda Lisboa

Jose Antonio Tenente
Jose Antonio Tenente
presented one of the most elegant collections that we have seen
in the last few seasons. Despite his cohesive touch, Tenente surpassed
his own limits, presenting an even more dazzling and fresh collection.
This time, the collection She/He Wraps Me,
She/He Wraps Me Not celebrates the body wrapped with fabrics
that cover, conceal and reveal. Despite the simplistic concept behind
the collection, we did not judge the book by its cover!
The Collection shows rigorous cuts that flattered
and complemented the female body through assertive draping, fluid
fabrics and volumes.
Silk in shantung, satins, mikado, organza and
tulles, mixed with linen and cotton, honoured what’s supposed
to be one of the best silhouettes for summer 2009.
 Lidija
Kolovrat
Lidija Kolovrat, known
for her conceptual and audacious style, astonished her audience
with the summer collection, Man Bug.
For the first time, this designer refines and
highlights the male body, without overemphasizing the asymmetry
to the pieces.
Although more commercial, she was still able to
maintain some of the elements that distinguish her line. Details
such as irreverent asymmetry, colours and embroidery still classify
her look as typically “urban youth”.
The collection presented by Lidija shows us a
more playful side, reinforcing the need to please different bodies
and a broader audience.
Alves Goncalves
Alves Goncalves is considered
to be one of the most influential teams in Portuguese fashion. Its
main focus is high-end couture and the élite just seems to
love this label.
Alves Goncalves presented to a privileged few,
in a strictly-by-invitation event. Cocktail dresses, evening dresses
and executive wear were comprised its lavish 2009 summer collection.
The designers have used voluptuous forms, demarcated
with draped contours. White, black and deep red were the predominant
colours in fabrics such as satin duchaisse, crepes and jerseys of
silk, accompanied by Cartier jewels.
