Portugal Fashion returned to Porto, from 12th to 16th October, in physical format, but requiring the digital certificate. The last edition were in February and have been entirely in digital format, due to the pandemic.
This time, Portugal Fashion became with the motto: “What´ s That You´ re Wearing?” The organization of the event wanted to make people think of where do their clothes came from, who did them, what materials have been used, if it has a fair price… Sum up, make people aware of this important themes.
During five days, the portuguese fashion was highlighted at the Alfândega do Porto. There were presented more than 30 fashion shows by portuguese designers and brands. During the event were also round tables, conversations, ‘showrooms’ and a brandup market.

Diogo Miranda
During that day the designer Diogo Miranda opened the runway with the show at 10.30 am. in the “Terreiro da Casa do Roseiral”. On this collection, the designer bet more on colors, textures and cuts instead of shapes. Dresses were seen on the catwalk, overalls and tunics were seen on the catwalk, because the designer worked on fluidity, since people want, more and more to go back to parties, cocktails and weddings.
Miguel Vieira
Miguel Vieira was finalizing the preparations for the followed presentation in “Jardins do Palácio de Cristal”, while Diogo Miranda’s proposals attracted people´ s attention. The coordinates designed by Miguel Vieira matched perfectly with the surrounding space. The creator also shared at Portugal Fashion a more festive vision, at a time when events are beginning to come back.
Susana Bettencourt
In the afternoon, we had the opportunity to see the presentation of the AW21/22 collection “BUSTLE” designed by Susana Bettencourt. There we have seen beautiful and distinct designs. This collection represents the intrusion of the fragile (and post-pandemic) world of creation emerged in the frenetic rate of life. This is expressed through garments and artifacts. During the developing process, the designer faced one challenge: the perceptual appreciation of craft techniques and the exploration of its purpose nowadays.
We had the chance to visit the brand up market and to see the other designer shows, such as: Estelita Mendonça, Sophia Kah, Maison D´ Afie, David Catálan and Pé de Chumbo.
Sophia Kah
When it comes to textile and fabrics trends we highlight the show of Sophia Kah. This designer focused on lower-key fare, over the last few seasons and with the pandemic lockdowns. But in anticipating a post-pandemic reemergence – Ana invited her sister Marta to showcase kah’s trademark sense of occasion. Both sisters are pragmatic designers with an eye for reading the mood of the moment. This collection represents a love letter for all the new, beautiful things of the future. It also transmits freedom, travels through the world and fun. There are designs like full-skirted gowns with voluminous sleeves, dresses, suits, and so many more shapes.
