What would be of culture without the future? On October 11th, at 6pm, the new contestants of the SANGUE NOVO competition supported by Seaside make their debut at MUDE – Design Museum. The first fashion show of the 63rd Lisbon Fashion Week is also the first contact of the ten young creatives with the event’s audience, inaugurating 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 are once again fabricated with materials provided by the textile partnerships established by Associação ModaLisboa — Calvelex/Fabrics4Fashion, RDD Textiles and Riopele. On the day of the presentation, there is a new addition behind the scenes: the models hair will be styled by Jean Louis David, in the context of its program to attract new talent, maintaining the partnership with L’Oréal Professionnel products.

At the end of the fashion show, the five finalists of SANGUE NOVO supported by Seaside will be announced, and in March 2025 they will compete for the ModaLisboa x IED – Istituto Europeo di Design and ModaLisboa x RDD Textiles awards.
