LISBON ISSUE 62 Dec 2006

ModaLisboa, Lisbon's twice-a-year fashion event, is once again gathering together collections created by Portuguese fashion designers and brands for the next edition, which will feature some new faces, and will be announced shortly.
 
The Spring/Summer 2007 season is "inspired by high energy, and confirms our national designers’ and brands’ talent and capacity for change... this season, always radiant and magnetic, is one that generates change and creates new strengths".
 
Themes for the event include:

• Energy, innovation and technology married to design
• Energy, the "élan vital" of creating new exciting shapes, silhouettes, colour palettes and glamorous finishes
• Energy, the fashion expansion vehicle

The choice of venue is directly linked to the theme: Lisbon’s Electricity Museum is one of the best examples of early 20th century industrial architecture, and will play host to the most contemporary of Portuguese fashion creations.
