The sublime “butterfly effect”. Exquisite and colourful patterns with complex lines and scales remind us of the essence and charisma of a butterfly. Katty Xiomara showed a contemporary fairy dressed in warm colours, highlighted by black.
Os Burgueses
This design duo named their collection An Opera for a New World. They took us on a journey of family heritage,
self-pleasure and love. Grey, white and pale
pink brought the fabric to life.
Filipe Faísca
The Bionic and Botanic collection by Filipe Faísca brings us vibrant colours in fluid fabrics. Faísca took his inspiration from the 1920s, 1960s and 1970s, with fabrics like mousseline, georgette, crêpe de chine, silk double crêpe and leather.
Maria Gambina
Maria Gambina brought to life a delicate feminine collection with graphic images, patterns, ink strokes and collage. Meanwhile, the men’s collection brings us a laid-back, yet clean, attitude. A runway full of vibrant and neutral colours were inspired in Ned Doheny’s album Hard Candy.
