MODALISBOA COMUNIDADE: Luís Carvalho – AURORA

“Aurora” is an ode to the optical phenomenon composed of a glow observed in the night skies of the most northern parts of the Earth. The organic and graphic shapes of the auroras Borealis take us to the details worked on the pieces and their construction such as frills, ruffles and wavy fittings. The silhouettes are oversize and layered. Lamés, wools and jacquards with floral and camouflage patterns predominate in the collection, in colours such as black, gold, navy blue and the various variants of green.
