On March 7, Constança Entrudo makes her debut in CAM - Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian's Studio to present her Fall/Winter 25/26 collection, SECOND BEST.

From 5pm to 6pm, the presentation will have free entry, and tickets can be collected from the CAM box office on the day of the presentation. Due to room capacity, the event will be divided into three 20-minute slots, with entrances at 5pm, 5.20pm and 5.40pm. The CAM Store will be open throughout the presentation, with pieces by Constança Entrudo and other ModaLisboa designers, such as Valentim Quaresma and Dino Alves. From 6pm, the presentation will be reserved for guests and the press.

SECOND BEST, Constança Entrudo’s Fall/Winter collection, is a disquisition on society’s obsession with winners and losers, celebrating the often-overlooked second place. Constança figures the demoralising underside of meritocracy while materializing the textures of effort, process, and acceptance, embracing the quiet beauty of silver linings.

All that glitters is not gold and the presentation will feature a textile installation created for the occasion. The installation is a sensorial activation of the subject, rooted in Constança’s belief in an interdependency between the spaces we inhabit and the way we feel.

The graphic grace of the silhouettes is grounded in 80s Olympics sportswear. Through numerous media, Constança sensualizes the narrative of second place. The focus on materials perceived as second best, combined with meticulous attention to the engineering of textile construction, brings prominence to surfaces: silver details printed on delicate hand-woven fabrics, knits resembling velvet, hand pleated glittery tafettas, Miss World-style sashes, cockades and medals.

A multiplicitous present is proposed, in these celebrations of people and studies of Constança Entrudo.
