#ModaLisboa – All photos by Emil Husaint. Designer João Magalhães unveiled his new Spring/Summer 2023 collection in Lisbon! And we love it. João Magalhães (1988) grew up between London and Lisbon.
Early in his life, he showed great interest in the arts, which led him to study architecture and to specialise in fashion, exploring form and construction in his creations. In 2014 he created Morecco, which started as an accessory brand, but the evolution of the concept led to ModaLisboa a year later, with the first complete ready-to-wear collection.
João Magalhães explores an aesthetic universe marked by androgyny, the materials’ requirements and cut, by handmade techniques, from knitwear to hand embroidery.
In March 2019, he signed the first collection in his own name. His pieces continue to detach themselves from gender and age constraints, they are free of categorizations, but the designer is now exploring a new conceptuality, closer to what he envisions for one’s to-day wardrobe.
