ModaLisboa / Lisboa Fashion Week | Portugal, Europe
The most important Portuguese fashion event
ModaLisboa / Lisboa Fashion Week is recognised as the most important Portuguese fashion event, with a unique concept compared to other fashion weeks. As an independent project, we develop successful partnerships with sponsors and institutions, enabling us to organise a four-day event attended by the Portuguese and foreign press, buyers, professionals from the fashion business, textile and apparel companies, designers guests and VIP guests.
ModaLisboa events aim to increase creativity not only in fashion but also in adjacent areas such as photography, graphic design and set design.
ModaLisboa / Lisboa Fashion Week appears twice a year – March and October – on the international fashion calendar. During four days, a selection of designers show their collections to the press, buyers, professionals, industry and guests.
About Portugal
A global maritime power during the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal lost much of its wealth and status with the destruction of Lisbon in a 1755 earthquake, occupation during the Napoleonic Wars, and the independence of Brazil, its wealthiest colony, in 1822. A revolution deposed the monarchy in 1910, and for most of the next six decades, repressive governments ran the country. In 1974, a left-wing military coup ushered in broad democratic reforms. The following year, Portugal granted independence to all its African colonies. Portugal is a founding member of NATO and entered the EC (now the EU) in 1986.
