This festival attains international recognition by sponsoring the first edition of Fashion Film Festival of São Paulo, Brazil. There is also the celebration of photography with the 10th edition of the Fashion People competition.

 

The high moment of Porto Fashion Week is, undoubtedly, the 50th edition of MODtissimo. For two full days, 3 and 4 October, the Customs Building will host national and international fabric and accessories' manufacturers. There will be over 400 exhibitors.

At the same time and at the very same place, the iTechStyle Showcase is running, an event aimed at suggesting new horizons for the fashion industry, showing that technology can be an ally for the industry and even for creativity purposes.

Also, Port Wine Fashion has challenged national fashion designers to decorate Port Wine bottles. This initiative is also open to the public at large. It will take place at the Customs Building and the decorated bottles will be displayed at a show.

Last but not least, it is worth noting the Euratex International Convention, set for 3 October, will gather over 150 participants in Palácio do Porto.
