The event offered an engaging mix of heritage, sustainability, and forward-thinking design that resonated across its storied venues—Pátio da Galé, MUDE – Museu do Design, and the SNBA. Over four packed days, Lisbon celebrated fashion as an art form, cultural expression, and statement of sustainability.

Designers Who Stole the Spotlight - ModaLisboa Singular was a testament to Lisbon’s dual nature: historical yet contemporary. Luís Carvalho’s Round & Around SS25 epitomized this balance with his collection that featured sophisticated, flowing silhouettes and meticulous tailoring, capturing the essence of renewal and cyclical beauty. Joana Duarte’s BÉHEN presented deeply personal pieces, incorporating delicate Portuguese embroidery inspired by her grandmother’s wartime letters. Each stitch was imbued with sentiment, blending memory with modern fashion. Carlos Gil’s DREAM collection added a touch of fantasy, showcasing silks and tropical motifs that were playful and captivating, as if inviting the audience to dream alongside him.
