The first International Fashion Conference, promoted by CENIT – Textile Intelligence Center, opens the 67th FashionLisboa, on Wednesday, in MAAT Central Building – Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology.

The official calendar of the presentation of collections begins on Thursday, at MUDE, with Béhen, by Joana Duarte, and AD HOC, a collaborative project between the Portuguese designer Constance Entrudo and French artist Marie Hazard, presented this year for the first time, in New York, at the invitation of Studio2M.

After that, Carlos Gil presents a parade that “projects itself from the interior of the MUDE to Rua Augusta, a joint initiative of Lisbon Fashion Week and the Museum, within the partnership between the two institutions”.

“ By occupying this emblematic pedestrian artery, the parade materializes the purpose of the Lisbon City Council to bring the design of all people closer and make culture accessible to all. In line with this vision, shared by both institutions, there will be places open to the public, available through compulsory registration from today”, according to the organization of ModaLisboa.

The performances continue later at the Court of Gala with Mestre Studio, ANDES, Roselyn Silva, Gonçalo Peixoto, Kolovrat and Nuno Baltazar.

On Sunday, the presentations focus on the Patio da Galé, beginning with the premiere in the passerelle of the ‘hairstylist’ Helena Vaz Pereira, with a collection in which “the hair ceases to be only a complement of the image to assume the main role”, and continuing with Barbara Anastásio, Çal Pfungst, DuarteHajime, Ana Duarte, Luís Onofre, Valentine Lent, 2B, from the singer Barbara Bandeira, and Dino Alves.

Although the presentations of the collections are accessible by invitation, there are a number of activities open to the public, including exhibitions, conversations and workshops.

In this issue, the “Fast Talks” program, which is free entry through registration, is developed in two formats: “a conversation open to a wider audience, which discusses the social impact that Fashion can and should take on, and two ‘workshops’ aimed at industry professionals, focused on brand strategy and business development”.

These three moments take place in MUDE on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, the conversation on the first day and the ‘workshops’ in the last two.

The National Society of Fine Arts hosts between Wednesday and Sunday the exhibition “Prova dos Ninves”, which brings together photographs by Carlos Ramos, Carlos Teixeira, Inês Gonçalves, Pedro Cláudio, Pedro Ferreira, Ricardo Santos, Rita Lino, Rui Aguiar and Rui Palma, “photographers who, between 1991 and today, were part of the history of ModaLisboa in different stages of their journeys”.

Within the exhibition there will be two conversations, also open to the public, with Inês Gonçalves, on Friday, and with Rui Aguiar, on Sunday.

In the MUDE will be patent, from Thursday, “Wearable Art – 3rd Skin”, exhibition that “reunite contemporary jewellery, sculptural pieces and wearable structures that take the body as support, measure and active part of the work”, authored by Amanda Stumpf, Armin Najib, CARLA M, Henar Iglesias, Joana Santos, Kolovrat, Nasim Javid, Noura Alserkal, Olga Noronha, Taibe Palacios and Valentine Lent. This show will be patent until October 25.

MUDE will also be the stage of the presentation of the book “Fabricaal: Time for Time”, which documents the first six years of transformation of a lanific factory with more than a century of activity in Reguengos de Monsaraz.

“ Through the look of the photographer Cátia Castel-Branco, a new stage began in 2020, when the continuity of this productive heritage became the starting point to rethink its expression in the present ", reads in the presentation text.
