Models that breathe
comfort and clarity
in design. Such is the
proposal from Atelier
do Sapato, one of the
Portuguese brands of
the moment, for the
coming summer. In the
new collection, fl at and
high heeled sandals
mingle with men’s
classic and dance shoes
in a complete, balanced
and exciting collection.
Binding welts, metal
fasteners and washed
leather soles are some
of the usual details from
Atelier do Sapato that
will stand for next year.
The new women’s
collection from Dkode
is inspired by a retro
contemporaneity.
Revisited classics are
reinvented for the
modern world. Natural
materials contrast
with hight tech details.
In this collection one
can fi nd natural and
technological materials,
randomly combined... in
a Neo Craft movement
with an urban
touch. This is Dkode
recycling materials
while searching for
new textures and
compositions. Vibrant
colors and aged
appearance materials
ensure an exasperated
freshness. Dkode will
show for the fi rst time
at Portugal Fashion its
proposals for the male
audience, in an eclectic
mix of casual style,
without forgetting more
classical models, shaped
through their volume
and proportion.
With exports growing at a good pace, the footwear industry is literally in
fashion. On the catwalk of Portugal Fashion, it left no one indifferent. Also
noteworthy are the collections of several Portuguese designers, such as
Fatima Lopes, Filipe Oliveira Batista, Luis Buchinho, Luis Onofre, Miguel Vieira
or Storytailers.
Always progressive,
never conventional, Fly
London’s Summer 2012
collection is an eclectic
combination that offers
models perfect for
everyday life, but also
high heeled lines full
of glamor and style,
always keeping intact
the brand’s unique
spirit. In the women’s
segment, lines with
modern silhouettes and
distinctive shapes are
associated with Disco
inspired proposals with
wooden platforms
and acrylic heels. For
the male audience,
Fly combines “casual
looks” with styles that
convey individuality and
originality inspired up to
classical models that are
differentiated by their
vintage fi nish.
For the warm seasons
of the “one thousand
and one” colors,
Nobrand presents “The
Peacewalker Collection.”
In an irreverent
combination of
materials, the collection
comes out naturally
“native”, respecting
classic American
moccasins and British
oxfords, reinventing
them in openly boho
and retro-clean trend.
This collection refl ects
the relentless pursuit
of freedom and return
to Nature that summer
brings after the wintry
days. In a vibrant palette,
the collection radiates
blues, reds and oranges.
Right in its second line
of colors it presents their
derivations into yellows
and greens, while never
forgetting more natural
tones, which have been
asserting themselves
as neutral, like black,
browns, grays and
beiges.
For the fi rst time on
stage at Portugal
Fashion, and focusing
on typically Portuguese
raw materials, such as
cork, wood or leather,
Patico’s collection for
the Summer of 2012
appeals to female
simplicity and comfort in
a varied range of warm
colors, in ambitious
and bold shapes, with a
mixture of irreverence
and fantasy.
