The Portuguese designers bet on leathers for next autumn- winter.
With the heat dissipating from the atmosphere we start to think of the next season already approaching and national catwalks are the best place to take a look at trends in the next autumn - winter. Black as always is the color of choice for Portuguese designers abounded in several coordinates, but one of the key elements that definitely stood out in the collections presented in Portugal Fashion were the leathers. The pelts of exquisite finishes were present in many of the garments that paraded through the old building of the customs of Porto, from skirts, to jackets, pants, or just as occasional applications in some of the clothes. I must say that in terms of accessories, the long gloves fascinated me the most, either in leather or satin, my fascination for this very chic piece comes mainly from American film noir of the 50s. A must have. The same can be said of some of the most collections of most acclaimed designers from our country, with particular emphasis on Luis Buchinho, Fatima Lopes and Felipe Oliveira Baptista , respectively , a man from the north, a Madeiran and a Azorean, a brutal combination I must say !
