#ModaLisboa – AWAKE! We are in LOVE with the new FW 20/21 collection by designer Luís Carvalho. Stronger shades, such as red, pink and yellow, alternating with more neutral tones such as black, ecru and ice gray walked down the catwalk. COLOURGRAPHIC, a collection where the main element is the mix of colors, comes from a game of shapes and graphic lines. The works of several plastic artists serve as a reference for the construction of the pieces and silhouettes. www.instagram.com/luiscarvalhoofficial
