1° day of Lisbon fashion week
In - 10 March 2012 - 52 comments

First day of fashion week in a sunny and warm Lisbon. I’ve attended the SayMyName, White Tent, Lidija Kolovrat e Luìs Buchinho fashion shows!

I guess you’ve never heard most of these names before, and I’m glad to be able to show you some of their creations in these pictures. My personal favorites were the first and the last show.

The SayMyName collection is inspired by Samurais. Noble warriors from the Japanese aristocracy, the Samurais were loyal, disciplined and honored servants of the emperor. Their classic armor, the Yoroi, was composed of several important details that served as protection during battles. Reglan sleeves, overplapping plates and cuts above the chest are emphasized and re-developed within the concept in an attempt of reproducing the Sode (shoulder protection) and Do (abdomen protection).

Luis Buchinho was the designer that captured my attention. He proposed oversize blazers worn over bare skin, pleated dresses decorated with geometric patterns, asymmetrical cuts and big sweaters to wear over metallic trousers. I’d like to congratulate this Portuguese designer who is, in my opinion, very talented!

We ended the day with a cocktail at the hotel. This fashion week had a great start, and I can’t wait to tell you everything about the next days. Have a nice week-end guys!

Primo giorno di fashion week in una tiepida e soleggiata Lisbona. Ho assistito alle sfilate di SayMyName, White Tent, Lidija Kolovrat e Luìs Buchinho.

Immagino che anche per voi siano tutti nomi nuovi, quindi sono contenta di farveli conoscere un poco attraverso queste foto. Le mie due sfilate preferite sono state la prima e l’ultima. La stilista di SayMyName si è ispirata al tema del “Samurai” per la sua collezione. Top oversize e ispirazioni al Kimono, dettagli in metallo che sembravano armature e gonne asimmetriche da guerriera moderna sono gli elementi chiave della collezione.

Luìs Buchinho è però lo stilista che ha catturato di più la mia attenzione. Blazer oversize portati senza niente sotto, abiti lunghi plissettati e decorati con fantasie geometriche, tagli asimmetrici e maxi sweater da portare su pantaloni metallizzati. Complimenti al lavoro di questo stilista portoghese davvero talentuoso!

La giornata si è conclusa con un cocktail di apertura in albergo! Questa settimana non poteva iniziare in modo migliore, e non vedo l’ora di raccontarvi i prossimi giorni! Buon week-end a tutti :)
