On the 7th of March, Lisboa Fashion Week arrives at CAM – Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian with a multidisciplinary programme designed in collaboration to understand the ongoing encounters between fashion and the visual arts. With an exploratory vision that evokes the intersection of artistic experiences, the free entry events are divided into two moments that reflect a conceptual and material link between the two fields, a link that is increasingly urgent and relevant in the contemporary panorama. This will create dialogues for possible futures between designers and artists, as well as a fashion presentation to provoke new narratives of community and cultural collaboration.

DIÁLOGOS
4PM – 6PM
LEARNING SPACE
Free entry
Ticket collection, subject to room capacity (max. 2 per person): 2 hours before.

Three conversations between artists and fashion designers, capitalising on their relevance to contemporary thinking. The term Diálogos (Dialogues) presupposes an automatic conversational empathy between the creatives, and all the sessions, each 30 minutes long, aim to extend this fluidity of communication to the audience, in moments of discussion about artistic practices, conceptual splits and intersections, and the impact of materiality on the construction of new cultural narratives. At the heart of each dialogue is the thought and process of creation, the points of departure that art and fashion share for conception, interpretation of reality, experimentation and investigation of unexplored paths that lead to the production of the new, or simply a different vision of the other and of today.

DIÁLOGO 1: ADRIANA PROGANÓ WITH DIOGO MESTRE (MESTRE STUDIO)
4PM

Adriana Proganó (Lucerne, Switzerland, 1992) develops works that focus on the creation of an imaginary governed by the breaking of ideas of social and limiting rules in bodies and society, challenging the impositions of the educational system and provoking a search for a more authentic human experience. Through her pictorial and sculptural compositions, she explores the limitations imposed by a rigid social structure, creating characters that move through different spaces, reflecting a freedom within their own limitations. Within this narrative, the artist challenges our perception of our own daily struggles and/or institutional spaces within the confines of external, supposedly invisible laws that govern our existence. The idea of freedom is central to her work and the starting point for her artistic language. Many figures are depicted as simply free from these ideas, others as resistance, fighting to overturn patterns that poison collective freedom. In this way, Adriana offers provocative visuals that promote a discourse on power, identity and cultural resistance.

Diogo Mestre graduated in sculpture from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Lisbon in 2022, and in the same year he obtained a master’s degree in fashion design from the Faculty of Architecture. He has always had a passion for fashion and later combined it with art. More than just designing clothes, Diogo wants to create narratives that immerse the viewer in his universe. The brand Mestre Studio was founded in 2023 and presented its first collection at ModaLisboa’s Sangue Novo supported by the Seaside young designers competition, immediately confirming its nostalgic vein and the importance of memories in building its identity, working mainly with knitwear and the deconstruction of traditional techniques.

DIÁLOGO 2: JOÃO PEDRO VALE AND NUNO ALEXANDRE WITH MARTA GONÇALVES (HIBU)
4:40PM

João Pedro Vale and Nuno Alexandre Ferreira began their artistic activity at the end of the 1990s, working together from an early stage on projects that stand out for their diversity of media, carriers and conceptual languages. Highlights include solo exhibitions at Appleton Square, Lisbon, in 2024, Rialto6, Lisbon, in 2022, MAAT, Lisbon, in 2019, participation in the Fabric Festival, Fall River (USA) in 2022, MOVE19, Centre Pompidou, Paris (France), LIAF19 – Lofoten International Art Festival, Svolvaer (Norway) in 2019. In 2024 they held their first anthological exhibition at the Serralves Museum.

HIBU is a Portuguese fashion label founded in 2013 that creates genderless pieces, combining multidisciplinary references and a relaxed minimal aesthetic.

DIÁLOGO 3: MIKHAIL KARIKIS WITH LIDIJA KOLOVRAT
5:20PM

Mikhail Karikis is a Greek-British artist working with moving image, sound and performance to explore activism, solidarity and collective agency. His socially engaged practice works with marginalised communities, including children, refugees and workers, to imagine hopeful and sustainable futures. Through installation, performance and film, he explores social justice, labour and the environment. He has exhibited internationally at venues including the Venice Biennale, Tate Liverpool and MORI Art Museum, won the Paul Hamlyn Award (2024) and has twice been shortlisted for the Derek Jarman Award. His creative work also includes musical collaborations with Björk and DJ Spooky.
Upcoming exhibitions in 2025 include a career survey at Kunstmuseum St Gallen, Switzerland, a solo show at the Gulbenkian Centre for Modern Art, Lisbon, and a solo exhibition at The Showroom, London, UK.

With a background in film and fashion, Lidija Kolovrat defines her language through deconstruction, urban culture and art. Her passion is to create unique and special fashion pieces for those who seek a distinctive style that is in tune with their true selves.
In 1990, she founded KOLOVRAT, a brand that cares about the impact of its creations, both on the environment — by emphasising sustainability and recycling — and on its customers, and believes that clothes reflect our inner world, our sacred geometry and our symbolic language. Intuition, spirituality and innovation are the way to achieve the uniqueness of the garment that is co-created for each individual, so that everyone can empower their true self and embrace the beauty, boldness and sense of humour needed to embrace the unexpected.
For Kolovrat, being part of the community means reinventing itself and achieving excellence in creations that combine the vibrancy of a dynamic society with the commitment of an ethical business.

CONSTANÇA ENTRUDO
5PM — 7PM
STUDIO
Free Entry
Ticket collection, subject to room capacity (max. 2 per person): 2 hours before.

Constança Entrudo makes her debut in CAM’s Studio to present her Fall/Winter 2026 collection.
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, Entrudo’s Fall/Winter 2026 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.
