The aim is not to live forever. But create something that lasts forever.
In 2018, MODALISBOA continues to live with the same ambition and purpose: to create forever. Offering the conditions that invigorates the artistic creation of national fashion, discovering the artists that will be part of our cultural scene in the future, assuring the freedom that enables fashion to be unexpected, challenging, refreshing and unpredictable.
SANGUE NOVO IN MODALISBOA
At a time when changes in the paradigm of fashion as we know it are debated, ModaLisboa continued to believe that it is always its renewal that we must celebrate. Because even if one day Fashion as we know it disappears once and for all, we know that it will continue to be reborn every time it is necessary, as long as the conditions of freedom that allow it to flourish are provided.
It is in the creation of life and in the life of creation that they remain working in Sangue Novo, the space where Fashion as we know it is renewed by fashion and designers that make themselves known for the first time in all editions. Because in all editions, talents are discovered, collections are renewed, language and passion are expressed for Fashion.
As one of Sangue Novo designers, Federico Cina, confesses “Waking up in the morning, knowing that I can design and create something new and have the opportunity to express myself by dressing people with my emotions is very rewarding.”
The Sangue Novo show kicked off the MODALISBOA N.50 calendar, on March 9th, at 6.00pm, at Pavilhão Carlos Lopes, with the presentation of the designer’s collections: Federico Cina, Federico Protto, Filipe Augusto, Inês Nunes do Valle, Isidro Paiva, N’a Pas de Quoi, Opiar and Rita Sá.
