Lisboa’s fashion transfusion

Ricardo Preto

A path for a new and geometrized silhouette was inspired by Claudia Effe’s original patterns. Ricardo Preto brought us a collection, where pearlscent and pastel tones are lightened with fluorescents and broken by primary colours, reminding us that dressing can be entertaining .

Miguel Vieira

Inspired by the cliffs of Capri, Miguel Vieira showed us structured pieces and tailored cuts in his men’s collection; and hourglass figures and alternating long and short pieces for an elegant look in his women’s collection. The focus goes on the printed and pleated silks, satin and embroidered tulle.

Aleksander Protic

A sentence in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner inspired the whole Aleksandar Protic summer 2012 collection. Cotton, silk, leather and linen were the main fabrics; colours like red, black, white and ivory ruled the runway.

Ricardo Dourado

A collection inspired by street environments where gangs rule with violence and attitude. Ricardo Dourado gave us the crepe wires and dry-touch materials in false white and washed black that combine in unlikely looks.
