Portugal Fashion's catwalk shows what's next for the spring/summer season

Portugal Fashion is back to Porto Customs, from 15th to 16th October, and the fashion shows will follow a format that is in compliance with all the health guidelines issued by the DGS. The event combines both the digital and the on-site formats. 

The fashion show calendar has already been announced and it "is engaged in displaying all the Portuguese fashion vitality". This edition presents the debut of Ernest W. Baker and the renowned Alexandra Moura, Alves/Gonçalves, David Catalán, Hugo Costa, Júlio Torcato, Luís Onofre, Maria Gambina, Marques'Almeida, Miguel Vieira, Katty Xiomara, Sophia Kah, just to mention a few.

According to the organisation, "the parade calendar is mostly during the day, with limited public attendance, with open air shows and live streaming". In place, there is also a contingency plan, which will be carried out during the whole event, which comprises 24 shows and performances to announce what is coming this next spring summer season, by designers and brands of the Bloom platform.

This edition marks Portugal Fashion 25th anniversary (the 46th edition was interrupted in March due to Covid-19) and the celebrating space is Porto Customs, indoors and outdoors as the main venues for the scheduled fashion parades. However, there will also be off location fashion shows, outsider the Neya Porto Hotel, the Vogue Café and a yet to be announced venue, which "will take everyone by surprise", stated Portugal Fashion's organisation.

Access to this edition is limited to professionals of the business (entrepreneurs, retailers, distributers, industrial and sectorial partners and journalists). Each venue shall not exceed 200 people per fashion show, and also according to the available space at each location.

Portugal Fashion is organised by ANJE- National Association for Young Entrepreneurs, jointly with the Textile and Clothing Association of Portugal (ATP), with the funding of Portugal 2020, in the framework of Compete 2020.
