SANGUE NOVO
SUPPORTED BY
On October 11th, 2024, the contestants of the SANGUE NOVO competition supported by Seaside inaugurated the MODALISBOA SINGULAR catwalk with projects that contextualize the contemporary fashion practices.
It’s here that digital and artificial manufacturing processes that confront technology and sustainability are presented, an in-depth exploration of new materials and silhouettes that defy the laws of physics, the elevation of time as a crucial ingredient for a responsible production, or the discussion of gender roles and social norms. In addition to Seaside, a brand that continues to support the competition, fulfilling its mission of empowering creativity and raising awareness of sustainability, the ten collections were, once again, fabricated with materials provided by the textile partnerships established by Associação ModaLisboa — Calvelex/Fabrics4Fashion, RDD Textiles and Riopele.
The five finalists of SANGUE NOVO supported by Seaside were announced at the end of the fashion show. Dri Martins, Duarte Jorge, Francisca Nabinho, Gabriel Silva Barros and Ihanny Luquessa will compete, in March 2025, for the ModaLisboa x IED - Istituto Europeo di Design and ModaLisboa x RDD Textiles awards.
