Rita Sá - Sangue Novo FASHIONCLASH winner

Rita Sá is the winner of Sangue Novo / FASHIONCLASH Festival Award at ModaLisboa - Lisbon Fashion Week.

She will join  Filipe Augusto (winner of October 2017 edition) and present her collection at Fashion My Religion! the 10th edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival, June 15-17.

 

TELHADOS DE VIDRO
“If you have a glass ceiling, don´t throw rocks in the air” is the motto for the collection “Telhados de Vidro”, which describes the game played by those who desperately try to be something they are not; masked hypocrites who feel the need of ostentation in a “make-believe” world. Attacking others for problems that they also have, the individuals who make the collection choose to believe that it is better to be a false somebody than a real nobody.

Forming a grading concept from the first to the last look, the collection presents its first individual who seems to be impervious to anything around him and not afraid of showing he is vulnerable or weak. The second individual is clearly uncomfortable with this idea and tries his best to show his superiority, even if it means trying to be someone who is not.

From this point on, every individual tries to impose his superiority upon his predecessor, trying hard to hide all his/her weaknesses in an illusion game where nothing is what it seems to be, manipulating the truth and revealing only what is pleasant to the eye.
However, what is shown has no real utility and therefore is essentially futile. As we continue, there seems to be a lot of difficulties in controlling the flamboyance created within these individuals and as a result, instead of matching the silhouettes continuous growth, they drop suddenly. New volumes are now supported by small details that still prevail and the vulnerabilities that were hidden until now are completely exposed. The blue colour in the collection references the use of plastic bags, creating the idea of something that is disposable.

ModaLisboa - Lisboa Fashion Week - Boundless

ModaLisboa - Lisboa Fashion Week - Boundless edition took place from 9 - 12 March.

Sangue Novo (New Blood) is a platform for young Portuguese designers who get the opportunity to show their work within a collective fashion show. Eight Portuguese designers where selected to show their collections. At the end of the show several awards are presented.
Winner of Sangue Novo/FASHIONCLASH Prize this edition was Rita Afonso, who convinced with her relevant story and playful collection 'I AM A VASE, BUT I SCREAM'.

"The collection “I am a vase, but I scream” intends to pay homage to all women in history that had to use their voices and scream for their rights. Specially those that wanted to be artists and were only allowed to practice the so called minor arts. 
 Clarisse Lispector once said: "If I have to be an object, let me be one that screams". The collection screams for the still nature paintings, the weaving art and for all the fruits and vases that replaced the breasts, the legs and the naked bodies of the major arts."

João Oliveira won the ModaLisboa prize. He was the winner of FASHIONCLASH prize during October 2016 edition. With his innovative new collection 'Society' he show great potential.
“Society” explores the conduct of individuals in the most varied contemporary landscapes, facing the technological audacity. The collection interprets the historic and the emotional charge behind each provided feedback – support, heaviness, indifference and attachment. The oversized silhouette is an analogy of the journey and a metaphor for the accrued burden. And the layering breaks down the topic elements: the road, the people and their attitude. “Society” combines a streetwear approach with details influenced by workwear. 

As part of their prize, both Rita Afonso and João Oliveira will show their collection during FASHIONCLASH Festival 2017.

Other talented designers who presented their collection where Carolina Machado, Liliana Afonso, Rita Carvalho, Micaela Sapinho, Alexandre Pereira and Mariana Laurência.

Furthermore during ModaLisboa, there where shows from emerging and established designers such as Nuno Gama, Away to Mars, David Ferreira, Ricardo Andrez, Duarte, Valentim Quaresma and Patrick de Padua.

Still after 25 years ModaLisboa proceeds their search for new talent through Sangue Novo (New Blood) platform. 10 designers where selected to show their collection, among them the Berlin based Hermione Flynn who was selected at FASHIONCLASH Festival 2016.

Like previous editions Sangue Novo provides awards for future support of the promising talent.

Designer João Barriga won the Domus Academy prize that includes an eight week workshop and 500o euro scholarship awarded by Vulcano, the official sponsor of ModaLisboa. The winner of 'FASHIONCLASH Festival' is João Oliveira who impressed with his collection 'Effeuiller' in which he plays with the relationship between sportswear aesthetics and the sportswear practicalability. This edition contained many fresh names as well few designers who already presented at Sangue Novo such as Carolina Machado who showed progress and maturity. Micaela Sapinho made her appearance with a statement collection about the role of women in the society. Other designers in the show where Daniela Ciolan, Sofiya Malichenko, Catia Moreira, Inês Silva and M HKA.

Other new generation designers at ModaLisboa where Olga Noronha, Catarina Oliveira, Ricardo Andrez, Away to Mars and Patrick De Pádua  who presented his new collection. In March this year he won this opportunity to develop his brand further. The collection 'Fado' (fado, meaning 'fate' in latin) inspired by Portuguese fado and hip hop balances the sportswear with traditional menswear sihouette. He imagines hip hop as a new fate for fado. He effortlessly clashes tradtion and future proving he is able to work out a complete collection that is both innovative and commercially vital.
Patrick won participation for FASHIONCLASH Festival in 2015 and he won the Kaltblut Magazine Award 2015.
