MODALISBOA “BASE” Backstage!
by Adriano Batista
A fashion week is not just a parade of clothes. It is a city’s pulse. For its 65th edition, Lisboa Fashion Week asked a simple, radical question: what if we showed you the foundations instead of just the facade?
MODALISBOA BASE shifted the focus. It looked at the human networks, the local materials, the quiet conversations between a designer and a seamstress. It argues that these are the real structures of fashion. The clothes we see are the result of this invisible work, the accumulated skill, the shared knowledge, the resistance to being disposable.
In collaboration with Lisbon’s City Council, the event became a meeting point. It brought together designers, artists, and technicians not just to display finished products, but to demonstrate a process. It presented fashion as a living system, where the act of making is tied to the act of thinking, listening, and building a community.
Our photographer Emil Huseynzade went backstage to capture our favorite looks presented during MODALISBOA. Check it out below:
