The 25th Edition of ModaLisboa is a Happening flooded with desire. It is the desire that got us involved in this perpetual motion to do things bigger and better. It is the desire that draws the map of our emotions. It is the desire that gives us strength. It is the desire that makes us desirable. It is the desire that takes our intelligence. It is the eternal desire that drives us ever onward and upward in our explorations – and sometimes to the brink. It is the desire that impels our soul in this search. It is the desire that embraces us and entangles us. It is the desire that consumes us in the anguish over what we leave behind and what we will build. It is the desire to love, to love unceasingly, that propels us. It is the desire to grow that consumes our waking hours. It is the desire for alchemy that turns a concept into a masterpiece. It is desire that transforms creation in this textbook example of artistic innovation. It is desire that inspires and guides us.
