Lisbon Fashion Week: Recap
Sunday, October 19th, 2008
Lisbon Fashion Week translated itself into a multi-day event where rich embroidered textiles, fusing prosperous designs and well-off patterns made heads shake and mouths drop with the imagery exposed on the catwalk.

Fashion designers profiled their spring-summer collections with bright, strong colors. Low cuts, flowing textiles and breezy materials suggested this was a summer festival. Besides models and couture fusionists, Portugal’s fashion week has raised its children well. All who made an appearance this season have defiantly obtained their success through past presences.
Not only are they getting their earned success, they’re getting better by the season which may just justify front-row appearances from new international journalists from the US, France, Italy and Spain.
After a very dark winter with black as king, the next season pronounced itself lighter. Most collections showed palettes of white and pastels, mixed with strong colours like fuchsia, yellow, green and red. More than shape, the fabrics were the main focus and most designers played up the contrast of patterns and on detailed garments.
