MODALISBOA BASE | FAST TALKS

ModaLisboa Base, Fast Talks

17 September '25

The FAST TALKS of MODALISBOA BASE are conceived as spaces for suspension and critical thinking, working to balance time for reflection with the urgency of resolution.

In this edition, moderated by Rui Maria Pêgo, two main themes will guide the debate — free entry, with mandatory registration. Crafting the BASE: Reframing Heritage in Contemporary Design, with Guta Moura Guedes (Experimenta), Olga Noronha and Isabel Costa (Burel Factory), offers a perspective on heritage and materiality, questioning how ancestral techniques, often linked to regional practices and slower rhythms, can provide answers to the challenges of sustainability, innovation and permanence. Branding the BASE: A New Strategy for Independent Businesses, with Federico Poletti (IED Milano), Carolina Santos (Alameda Turquesa) and Mariana Matos (Parlamento), focuses on developing strategies for the autonomy of independent businesses, in a sector marked by speed and the pressure for immediate success, to explore consistent, conscious and lasting models of growth.

Between design and the market, tradition and technology, craftsmanship and strategic vision, the FAST TALKS bring together different perspectives to imagine how Fashion can sustain itself from its BASE. Further information on each of the topics, all speakers, and the registration link can be found here.
