ModaLisboa mourns the loss of Manuel Alves, a key figure in Portuguese fashion history. His work, alongside José Manuel Gonçalves, was woven together by an unwavering aesthetic vision, the constant reinvention of modernity and a keen attention to detail. In addition to Alves/Gonçalves, his legacy as a teacher contributed greatly to the growth of Portuguese Designer fashion and to the training of the many talents we see flourishing today.
