The five finalist collections in the second and final stage of SANGUE NOVO supported by Seaside are the purest, most experimental and innovative materialisation of our CAPITAL, focusing on themes such as fashion as a dream that can and should be realised through conscious choice, a very close dystopia in which the middle class is abolished, the blurring of boundaries between ancestral techniques and technological innovation, the translation of highly human emotional depth into pieces that defy volume and proportion, the transgression of gender and the visual tension between the past and the future.
Selected in October 2024, the five young designers Dri Martins, Duarte Jorge, Francisca Nabinho, Gabriel Silva Barros and Ihanny Luquessa now present the product of their conceptual growth and commercial maturity, developed over the last six months and with the accompaniment and mentoring of the jury. There's news here too: Danilo Venturi, director of IED Milano with a multidisciplinary career ranging from curating to strategic planning and fashion branding, joins the jury for this second phase of the competition.
Seaside continues to support the competition, in line with its mission to promote creativity and raise awareness of sustainability throughout the fashion industry value chain. The collections will once again be made using materials supplied by the textile partnerships established by the ModaLisboa Association: Calvelex / Fabrics4Fashion, RDD Textiles e Riopele.
