Maria Carlos Batista

Maria Carlos Batista is a young designer. After an injury that pushes she away from her dance life, she saw in fashion a new path. With dance as her background and inspiration, Maria shows how movement can be so much more than what we create with our bodies. So, movement can be seen in fabrics, shapes and silhouettes in the pieces that she make. The designer created the collection Mátria SS22, inspired in a parallel universe. Furthermore, the collection intends to transmit a version of ourselves that lives a different life from ours. “For all infinite possibilities to happen, infinite universes must exist.”

Vítor Dias

Vítor Dias is a fashion designer from Guimarães. Some of the inspirations for his creations are: science, the occult and social dynamics. Nowadays, he’s known for his manual craft, and for the exquisite pieces, where the classic and sporty style are combined with each other perfectly. Furthermore, recently, he won the Eco Design Bloom Contest PWD by Famalicão Textile City., with his collection “They Are Blossing”. This collection is a reflection of today’s society, which falsely leads us to believe that we are accepted just as we are. “They Are Blossing” is collection with a safari militaristic feel. It represents the struggle waged for the acceptance of our own nature, composed of moral contradictions that need to be broken by society.
