Andreia Lexim. [Espaço Bloom] "No man's land"

Andreia Lexim [Espaço Bloom] "No man's land" Nomad, free, rootless, wandering, vagabond, global / local. The idea of a free people, unfettered, that moves, that knows, that seeks to survive on what the land and opportunity offers. Globalization is the theme for this collection, the idea of a metropolitan nomadic tribe, that must learn from the nomadic Bedouin people, so as to survive today. It is the idealization of an urban tribe that moves between cities in search of better living conditions. Inspired by the nomadic tribes of Arabia and the arrival of tourism and globalization, this collection is a mix of West - Middle East influences. Black, dark blue, grey, brown and beiges. COLOURS Crepe, knits, wool fabrics, serge, silk and cotton. MATERIALS Dysfunctional Shoes. SHOES ANDREIA LEXIM e. andreialexim@gmail.com w. www.facebook.com / andreialexim1

Atelier do Sapato [Collective Footwear] "Personal Favourites" The main theme for the new autumn-winter 2012/13 season of Atelier do Sapato is vintage manhood. Men's classics such as combat boots, buckled boots and shoes have been redesigned, resulting in a contemporary and elegant feeling and style.holes, embossing, colour contrast, mixing of materials, layers and buckled straps are details that can be found throughout the collection.the shoes for both men and women are clearly from the same family and a great attention to detail was given in every model. "I am very glad to see that many of my friends wear my models and can see which have become their favourites and am curious to know why.with this information I always try to reach the magic formula: how to make shoes that are both beautiful to look at and loved by the feet. I want each of my models to be a potential Personal Favourite! "Says Rense Hekstra, designer and partner of the brand. The result is clear: this is probably the most comfortable and lusted after Atelier do Sapato collection to date. MATERIALS Though most groups have comfortably low heels, the high heel groups are equally covered with layers and leather soles. The basic materials are oiled by hand, washed suede, tanned and brushed vegetable nubuck. To complete all these finishes we also have the possible choices of pony skin with fur, lambskin, polished skins and even micro-laminated buffalo skins. COLOURS As for the colours used, we selected several shades of brown (cognac, whiskey and brandy), military green, aged pink and a touch of ochre (yellow).

DETAILS As usual, the brand's characteristic details could not be missing, such as scar stitching, visible metal zippers, washed leather soles, rivets and zip pullers with the ADS logo, high relief and top quality materials. CAMPAIGN The art campaign, as always, was designed by the artist Salimah Gablan (salimahgablan@blogspot.com). The new campaign was based on the previously used trademark of this artist, that is, ink drawings mixed with photographs of the models. This time, the artist responded to the shoes by trying to create a sequence of images as for a movie. Thus, not only was an identity given to the brand, but a background for the collection was also created. ATELIER DO SAPATO Head Office: Macosmi Fábrica de Calçado Lda.

Claudia Garrido [Espaço Bloom] "Diaghilev" The collection was inspired by the "Ballets Russes". Diaghilev is the name of the founder of one of the largest ballet companies in the world.

Estelita Mendonça [Espaço Bloom] The constant socio-economic changes impose the need to travel, yet simultaneously promote and encourage new perspectives on the world. Indeed, the whole concept of the new collection focuses on the image of the citizen of the world who, without prejudice, absorbs the traditions and customs of the places he or she goes to, building their lives as a melting pot of unique experiences. Without resorting to the typical clothing of different places, the collection attempts to translate the harmonious inclusion of other cultures in a comfortable and natural as much as aesthetic experience, which happens in these people's lives by agglutination through felting and / or sewing of different pieces into one. So what is in principle a classic and basic piece corresponds to, in a creative process, a mutation, agglutinating itself to others and becoming another previously conceived piece. In short, it is this contemporary man, highly influenced by his habitat, the world, who translates the concept presented in this collection. MATERIALS 100% wool materials are used, traditional wool fabrics and the recycling of some pieces, whose interaction of completely different materials are brought together in a very unique silhouette.

Fátima Lopes À Flor da Pele For next winter, Fátima Lopes studies morphology, the visual aspect of the body and its external structure. She plays with the body and accentuates its forms. The waistlines are very marked and the shoulders are narrow. Clothes become a second skin. The contrasts of volumes predominate and reduce the initial proportions of silhouettes, boosting femininity. COLOURS Solid colours - especially in the nude to blood red gradation mixed with black and burgundy - contrast with exclusive prints, which resemble the human venous system, confusing our perception: we do not know whether we are seeing the inside or the outside of the body. DETAILS Dresses and tights are decorated with bones, pieces inspired by the spine. SILHOUETTE AND MATERIALS Belted dresses, pants with draped sides and multilayered jackets reinforce the idea of body strangeness and reveal an extremely graphic silhouette. The paradox between fluids and rigid materials intensifies the idea of a nude body. The silhouette is covered, the clothes are "skin deep".

Hugo Costa [Espaço Bloom] Apache Collection inspired by the indigenous Native Americans, distinguished by a strong graphic component, with geometric shapes and patterns and with plenty of references to the North American pre-colonized era, as the use of dry landscapes with red earth tones.the collection takes us to the imagery that comes to us through the cinema stories with which we grew. MATERIALS The reuse of materials associated to a strong handmade element and even to a quest for their use announce a more traditional presence, characteristic of this and other tribal cultures. SILHOUETTES The collection's silhouettes and shapes have been developed thinking of the flexibility required today, transporting us to nomadism, with resistant materials in contrast to comfortable and somewhat delicate materials. e. hc.hugocosta @ gmail.com

Katty Xiomara Futuralma "As nothing has been understood from the past, nothing can be dreamt for the future." "In general, all ideas that aimed to the future are utopian, they are not yet made anywhere, so they are most active the less they are carried out." Agostinho da Silva

We perceive the soul of the future, the future needs as much guidance and experience from the past as it does the ideological utopian futuristic dream. The current vision of the future seems more realistic. On the one hand, a closer, and on the other, a more distant vision of that glimpsed in the science and fiction literature of the '60s, today's technological evolution is radically fast and the need for "convenience", self-renewal, reconstruction and recycling follow this rhythm.self-sustainability begins to grow following on the one hand, and refuting it on the other, the techno-virtual world where the future, life, death and the soul belong. The collection gathers information from this entire retro futuristic perimeter making the setting more practical and synchronized; pieces are made up and broken down into one or many, sometimes three in one, or one that simulates three, recycling its use in a practical, intelligent and funny way. COLOURS Almost primary colors appear acidulated and are distinguished with blocks of light and elegance. Lime, nude, mauve, brick, royal blue, midnight blue and black. MATERIALS Spongy and light, textured and smooth fabrics, with lacy trims and stained details, defining the contours outlining clean and pure pieces.

LIV by Fernando Lopes and Hugo Veiga Inspired by Rugby and the strong image of athletes, the makers of LiV FashionLab present a distinctively sporty collection where femininity and sensuality contrast with the strong and robust image of the structures that protect women from direct physical contact on the field. SILHOUETTES Using traditional techniques such as rag, so characteristic of Portuguese tapestry, maximized and externalised structures are developed to create a silhouette that highly contrasts with the thin lines of the ergonomically designed female body. MATERIALS AND COLOURS Materials such as jerseys, corrugates and ribs in skin tones contrast with the wool broadcloths, the rags and black crêpes that underpin the ultramarine blue and dark yellow that maximize the sporting aspect of the collection.

Lion of Porches For this season, Lion of Porches suggests coordinates that are traditional, elegant and have a strong Preppy inspiration. LION On the Lion theme, the traditional colours of the brand mix with the dark green, brown and burgundy, on motifs with stripes, vichy squares, diamond-shape and tartans, used on details and all over the knits and outerwear. Materials with excellent quality, such as cotton finished with silicon or carbon, wool/cashmeres and cotton baielas are privileged in this topic. PREPPY Introducing elements of collegial and heraldic inspiration, the Preppy theme stands out in particular by using lots of colour. The jackets, duffle coats and straight knits are essential in this line, always decorated with heritage monograms and emblems. British-inspired materials, such as tweeds, are combined with leather, coloured denims and coarse knits. CITY Finally, the City theme proposes more sophisticated and glamorous urban pieces, especially for the women's collection. Comfortable pieces, with more classic but modern cuts and more elaborate interiors, are the basis of this theme. The black and silver grey associated with the beige and oriental green are the basis for the women s wear. The men s wear is dominated by navy-blue and light blue, with browns, beiges and camel. The materials for this theme are more sophisticated, thanks to the use of silk, cashmeres and cotton with tencel. LION OF PORCHES - Textil Cães de Pedra, S. A. Rua Belmiro de Oliveira - Selho S.

Luís Buchinho The proposal for the winter of 12/ 13 is based on an inspiration obtained directly from that which surrounds us in the cities, namely the streets paved with Portuguese cobblestone.

Black, navy, strong blue, stone and white tones. COLOURS MATERIALS Interplay between natural and synthetic materials such as silk crepes, wool crepes, featherweight double wools and wool tweeds, combined with polyester crepes and details lacquered in nylon for a more technical/sporty effect. Digital Prints punctuate the entire collection as a full expression of the theme. Knits with geometric effects in jacquard. SILHOUETTES Lines close to the body, enhancing narrow waists. Cigarette pants, tube dresses in midi or maxi version, combined with short or three-quarter coats of male inspiration.

Lúis Onofre Sex Appeal Desire and sensuality are attributes that the collection by Luis Onofre releases into the atmosphere. The proposals by Luis Onofre assume leadership from among various trends. The 50 s inspire the LO models and bring back the escarpins - the famous "stilettos". Closed shoes with thin high-heels are the centrepiece of the collection. The charm accompanies each stride, translated in the footsteps of the modern woman. Chamois leather, varnishes, crocus, and brushed leather an LO classic wrap up the design in a palette of irresistible colours. Peacock blue, Venetian pink, burgundy, grey and black are the colours that also paint boots and booties. The mustard colour stands out in some creations. At times, the fur adds mink, resulting in the refinement that the brand has already gotten us used to. Aware of the female desire, Luis Onofre also surprises with a younger and more casual line... Rebel suggests "rock star"-style boots. The Swarosvky crystals maintain the shine, appearing as a detail or imitating python in some suggestions. Once again, the boxes transport limited edition models. More demanding, they are now presented in leather. The handbags complement the visuals, with the concept of "toiletry bag" being conveyed for the everyday handbag or for a night out, always with one common denominator: sensuality!

Miguel Vieira Vestir o Fado ( Wearing Fado ) The search never ends and the discovery is the elixir of life. But more than discovering, rediscovering may be something magical. Today, the search revolves around ourselves, our feelings, our soul, our roots...

Slowly, life starts to pulsate in traditional neighbourhoods, and in the Fado houses new voices are heard. But if Fado is old, you cannot say that it is outdated and this generation of performers does not merely reproduce the memory of its ancestors. They are also changing Fado. They drink in its roots, in the nostalgia and add to it new expressions, proving that Fado never dies. In addition to a different "singing", these new sounds lend Fado a new look, a new face, wearing it in a more contemporary fashion COLOURS Caviar black, fossil grey, shitake brown, nomadic beige, lipstick red and lake green.

Nobrand [Coletivo Calçado] ( Footwear Collective ) The Globe Trekker The look suggested for next fall/winter is less colourful than the previous look of the "Peacewalk" collection, but no less sober. The "Globe Trekker" collection breathes wood, outdoors and nature, mixing earth tones with touches of classic colours, bold and bright. The collection invites the mountains to descend to the city by proposing a folk design of Scandinavian influence. Models of comfortable shoes, light and bohemian, give the collection a "classical-casual" look. An organic and earthly concept that consistently embodies an arty, ethnic and unconventional relaxation, which is consistent with both the most original fashionists and with the biggest fans of nature.

Storytailors Gold Star/Estrela de Oiro* "... There will be a day, somewhere, in a unique and homogeneous civilization, in which symmetry will be the rule, in which similarity will be commended, in which there will be no room for the exception. In this place, life will have a discipline and rigor that to our eyes will seem to have military cadence. And also the individuality and beauty, like all other aspects of life, will have an implicit legislation. Behold, one day, a third child is born in a family; or rather, the third of three daughters. But, to their surprise, the child is grossly different from all others, and has a mark (on the forehead). The parents, in panic, do not know what you think: ugly? Pretty? One thing is certain she will draw everyone's attention. She will be adored or hated, but surely discriminated. What about the other daughters? So similar to each other and to everyone... What does this third child mean? The case is taken to the public council and the couple is persuaded to make a decision: no one should know of the event or see this daughter. Nor shall she see herself in the mirror, so as to not fully be aware of her difference. The child, then a girl, then a woman, grows well in her enclosure, letting her imagination run free. She can go out to the garden, surrounded by high walls, but always alone. She communicates with the outside world through a tiny machine, given to her by her parents, through which she connects to the "global network". In this virtual universe she imagines herself free; in a context so different that she does not understand why the rules that she feels as a punishment on the skin are imposed upon her. In fact, nobody had explained them clearly to her, but they require that she intuits, understands and follows them without raising questions. When communicating with the outside world, she gives herself a name, aviator bird. Yes, the concept may seem redundant, but it explains perfectly the will she has to fly away, leaving all those incomprehensible rules behind... and be free to grow and thrive!..." *Story inspired by the regional tail The girl with the gold star on her forehead (which, a hundred years ago, used to be told in Baixo Alentejo, in Serra do Caldeirão).

The collection "Estrela de Oiro" ( Gold Star ) is a beginning; the first chapter of a new story. With the motto of convertible and versatile dress-coats, under the influence of the lines of aviator suits, this collection of pieces and ideas shows us the work of Storytailors Atelier. Their cuts, silhouettes, details and colour diversity will subsequently lead to the collection of ready-towear clothing Storytailors Narke, to be sold in the Storytailors store as from next fall/winter 2012/13. Our "Gold Star" is a symbol of hope, dream, elevation, freedom, action, and distinction. Its story will continue in Storytailors next collection - not to be missed!

Susana Bettencourt [Espaço Bloom] WEB - Wide Entangled Being After "Conductive Wire of Life", Susana Bettencourt continues to explore human relationships in her new collection. In "Web" the designer looks at how experiences and individual connections intersect and merge to form a network, a web of collective experiences. Through the decomposition of electric maps, with their lines and vibrant colours, Susana Bettencourt reflects on this global map shared and built through common coordinates. QUOTES BY THE DESIGNER "I am pleased to present our fall/winter 2012/13 collection, 'WEB - Wide Entangled Being'. The concept of this collection is a perfect follow-up of the previous collection. This one can be considered a sequel, the continuation of the story. The main goal was to create a work that could be a representation of our relationships, of how we interact as intelligent beings and how those interactions and different circumstances can shape and even determine our path in life. Today, all such interactions are developed and rely almost entirely on our ability to be connected to each other, through technology or otherwise. In my mind, the maps of electric power, with all their lines and vibrant colours, are a complete and detailed representation of these connections and of the many possible paths that can be chosen for travelling through life. The result is a light green, red, dark green and grey map, as if we were seeing our own interactions from above. The bold jacquard and detailed pattern with an intricate network of the collection were a direct transcription of the development of conceptual art that we made from the maps. Therefore, this collection is built on the image and artwork that we create when we develop this "Web" concept. From the physical map, I created the jacquards, and from the forms - the silhouette.

This is the map of my life, of your life, of the lives of everyone and how, to some extent, we all meet on the web". SUSANA BETTENCOURT Studio 2; 13, Goldhawk Road London W12 8QQ c. Inês Sanchez t. +44 (0)7799084539 e. info@susanabettencourt.com w. www.susanabettencourt.com

TM Collection by Teresa Martins Threads of Identity "Textiles define civilizations as much as architecture, religion or language. From the morning of time, Man has judged his fellow Man by the fabrics he uses to dress himself and his home." In Threads of Identity, fabrics, colours, patterns, embroidery and shapes create a scenario, recreating undated stories in clothes that speak of memories and emotions of our experiences. This collection speaks of different inspirations and reflects the true identity of the brand as a whole: loose forms, a palette of intense and strong colours, unique embroideries and prints, silks in different layers, velvet and wool, a unique mix that blends with the surrounding memories of a brand that created its identity daring to be different. FABRICS Silks (noile, satin, velvet, jacquards, georgettes, chiffon and habotai), wool broadcloth, pashmina, cotton/silk, cotton and mushroo. COLOURS Antq. Moss Moonstruck Jade Smoke Plum Burnt Ochre Baton Rouge Mad.

Teresa Abrunhosa [Espaço Bloom] Age of Consent Teresa Abrunhosa presents a collection that embodies the evocative imagery of the hypnotic feminine silhouettes of the fifties and the powerful persona of the women that Helmut Newton captures. COLOURS AND MATERIALS The colour juxtaposition of the black and grey tones, faced with intense gold details with shades of burgundy and green comes in contrasting materials, such as leather with geometric laser cut-outs, muslin and satin.

Vicri Global Heritage/Património Global For the winter 2012 season, Vicri presents proposals for a more global, travelled man, fond of the cultures from around the world. Vicri wants this collection to demonstrate that the removal of geographical and cultural limitations allow us to acquire the freedom to rewrite the history of design using global influences. COLOURS The palette is sober and very masculine, speckled with almost unperceivable details of bright colours, almost phosphorescence, which are the hallmark of the brand. MATERIALS The prints continue to be present with influences on the cashmeres and brocades, inspired by Peruvian, Japanese and Mexican patterns. SILHOUETTES/DETAILS These cultures were also represented in the silhouettes and shapes, inspiring kimono-style shirts and ring scarves in silk. They also present again some details in patchwork on exclusive pieces made by hand. VICRI RIOPELE FASHION SOLUTIONS S.A.

Carla Pontes [Espaço Bloom - Design Competition] "First Element" As in a manifesto, a process is developed that sees fashion objects as common elements.threedimensional shapes are polished, study elements and environments. Simple objects, products, visual appeals. "First Element" is the starting point and finds in the shirt the desire piece for development.this is the common factor, the classical form that is repeated, constructs and deconstructs, interprets and allows to be interpreted in relaxed looks with controlled volumes and layers. Each outfit receives the objects in layers, where natural aspects are mixed with evidently synthetic elements.in a neutral palette with a black contrast, there are industrial materials whose treatment allows for minimalist finishes and materials that were shaped manually. e. carla@exporgal.com Sara Maia [Espaço Bloom - Design Competition] This collection brings together at its core two cultures: Western and Islamic. These two worlds join in their essence a set of symbolic elements, where the face and back are parts on which beliefs, values, and an entire cultural baggage claimed by these societies, are carried. Black vs. white is a prominent factor that sustains all these barriers of differences and points in common, in a collection that is intended as its own vision of reality and its physical implementation.

João Melo Costa [Espaço Bloom - Design Competition] "Facade" Facade vs Facade. The first image. Looks. The facade is deteriorated by being exposed, but the structure may never be shaken.the collection reflects and focuses on elements that characterize the fronts of buildings and compares the architectural concept and the figurative. JOÃO MELO COSTA e. joaomigmelo@sapo.com Elionai Campos [Espaço Bloom - Design Competition] "Pli" The directional line starts from the "PLI" concept - pleated, fold, double up, wrinkle - worked by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. Concept also suggests that "link", "c ONNECTION" or "fold".this concept leads to the undulations of the rocks, caused by the movement of water, which in turn refer to undulation - tides.the latter are "folds of water" or flexible deformations, though not fragile, which undo the rectilinear form presented in a slim and rigid silhouette.the high relief obtained by the handling of anticlinal pleats, connected / closed, addresses the sand ripples - the desert - as forms. PARTS AND DETAILS

Structured jackets, minimal, no seams.m inissaias, slim leggings, the band went up.opacity, semishines, transparency, prints.pleats, symmetry, asymmetry and straight and accurate forms are a counterpoint to the insertion of pleats closed as fans, in an organic way, close to Art Nouveau. COLORS AND MATERIALS Trans parências in shades of gray, pale green, green and copper.metallic and plain black. Pleated silk satin in shades of neutral grey, greenish grey and pearl white.

Júlio Torcato Fernando Pessoa [Alberto Caeiro] Rather the flight of the bird passing and leaving no trace, Than creatures passing, leaving tracks on the ground. A bird goes by and forgets, which is as it should be. The creature, no longer there, and so, perfectly useless, Shows it was there, also perfectly useless. Remembering betrays Nature, Because yesterday s Nature is not Nature. What s past is nothing and remembering is not seeing. Fly, bird, fly away, and teach me how to fly!

This poem by Alberto Caeiro was the motto for the collection Júlio Torcato FALL 2012. The aesthetics of the futurist movement in Portugal has been transported to current days with care being taken not to use obvious graphics, or recreations of fashion styles of the period. SILHOUETTES / MATERIALS The result is a collection with a very young look, where the materials and lines (silhouettes) are mixed sometimes in an unexpected and surprising manner. Long overcoats in pure wool and mohair, classic suits with three buttons and double-breasted jackets, with micro-designs in wool with silk and in jersey, with leather and polyamide appliqués, worn with shirts of the same materials for visual effects of a total look. Trousers in two opposite lines (slim and baggy) create modern and irreverent silhouettes. Extremely fine knitwear with mouliné effects, and in some cases with mould and vegetable dyes, reinforce the concept. COLOURS Black, grey, midnight blue, forest green, brick and blue.
