Tra Lisbona e Oporto, si è tenuta la 38esima edizione di Portugal Fashion, ovvero la settimana della moda portoghese. In compagnia dei miei amici blogger Matthew Zorpas e YuYu di YuYuFashionbBook, e di Elle Italia, del cui Instagram ho curato il take-over, ho trascorso piacevoli e intense giornate tra sfilate, presentazioni e appuntamenti dall’ora di pranzo al tramonto inoltrato (e che tramonto). Lisbona è fantastica, ma è Oporto la mia città preferita del Portogallo. Lì le location delle sfilate sono magnifiche, non di meno l’architettura e gli scorci della città (persino Mario Testino lo scorso anno ha scelto Oporto per scattare un editorial con Gigi Hadid).

Ecco cosa ho visto alla Portugal Fashion Week. E perché non vedo l’ora di tornare in Portogallo.

Between Lisbon and Oporto, it had been held the 38th edition of Portugal Fashion, aka the Portuguese Fashion Week. Together with my blogger friends Matthew Zorpas e YuYu di YuYuFashionbBook, and of Elle Italy, which I hosted the Instagram take-over of, I spent lovely and intense days of shows, presentations and meetings from lunchtime to sunset (great, great sunset). Lisbon is super, but Oporto is my favorite city of Portugal. The location of the shows are magnificent, not least the architecture and views of the city (even Mario Testino last year chose Oporto to shoot an editorial with Gigi Hadid).

Portugal Fashion designers who impressed me the most were surely Susana Bettencourt, whose runway was a celebration of sporty chic knitwear, with many overlaps, colors and abstract lines. The look with crocheted sweater decorated with rainbow is definitely iconic. Then Diogo Miranda, who has captured the attention of the international press and enchanted the audience with its clean and sophisticated lines and impalpable fabrics. After a walk along the Douro with a glass of Porto Sour in hand, it was the turn of Pedro Neto. His was a very dark vision of next autumn winter 2016, characterized by the mix of wool and velvet. Lastly, Luis Buchinho and its collection. Unexpected geometric cuts create outfits, as many pieces of the same puzzle. Colors ranging from black to white through gray, with almost no changes.

Here’s what I saw at Portugal Fashion Week. And why I cannot wait to return to Portugal.

Portugal Fashion Day 3 and Day 4 were quite busy, I spent the morning discovering the city of Porto and meeting some of the designers like Luis Buchino and Estelita Mendoca. The city of Porto is unique, the churches were fascinating and the small houses full of tiles made me feel romantic.

The third and fourth day of Portugal Fashion surprised me with the Bloom designers show like Pedro Neto , Joao Rola and Klar; I have to say the young designers from Portugal are very interesting and they seems inspired by a minimal style which I adore. Bigger names like Diogo Miranda and Luis Buchino were also very appreciated and I really enjoyed the show of Luis Buchino in a very special location.

Can’t wait to come back to Portugal.

Serralves Museum Experience was one of the best activtiy I attended during Porugal Fashion Week in Porto.

The third day of Portugal Fashion was a busy one: we started the day by visiting the studio of the acclaimed Luis Buchinho, followed by a stop at the BLOOM shop, Portugal Fashion’s shop for their young designers and then headed to the country’s most iconic and visited museum: Serralves. There we saw the fabulous mirror works from the Iranian-born Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, and had a tour of the Contemporary Art Museum, the modernist gardens and the stunning Art Deco Villa. In the end, the Museum kindly offered us a bow tie by a Portuguese designer.

On this day, I wore a jumper by local designer “Estelita Mendonça”

Portugal Fashion Day 2 brings us to the beautiful city of Porto. The location during the second day was simply amazing organized by THE BLOOM.

The first fashion show I really enjoyed was Carla Pontes with her geometric style. Oriental Inspiration and minimal style from the talented Daniela Barros and then the surprising show of Estelita Mendonca where ended up with a crazy light show. Mafalda Fonseca was all about graphics and great color combinations. Hugo Costa will be always one of my favorite during Portugal Fashion, and his collection was simply great: lovely shapes, amazing colors, great lines.
