Spotlighting craftsmanship, sustainability, and technology in fashion, ModaPortugal – a strategy powered by the Textile Intelligence Centre in Portugal, in partnership with the National Association of Clothing and Apparel Industries – brought together young designers from across Europe to compete in its annual European Young Designers Competition. Hosted earlier this month at Palácio da Polsa in Porto, the event saw 18 designers from Aalto University in Finland, Institut Français de la Mode, Polimoda in Italy, ESAD, the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Lisbon, Modatex in Portugal, London College of Fashion, and HEAD Genève present their collections to an international jury, competing for the overall prize as well as country awards. 

Vicente Aycaguer from the Institut Français de la Mode received both the Best Collection Award and the France Prize for his collection, ‘Susanna Valenti’. Sílvia da Torre, a graduate from Modatex Porto, won the Portugal Prize for ‘Sacred’. Tilda Wallius’s ‘Finders Keepers’ collection – developed as her final bachelor’s project at Aalto University – earned the Finland Prize. Nansen Capici from Polimoda was awarded the Italy Prize for the menswear collection ‘Silenzio Bianco’. Calum Holmes, a graduate from London College of Fashion, took home the UK Prize for ‘Plane Clothes’, while Alaa Alaradi won the Switzerland Prize for ‘further deeper softer closer’.

Schön! and photographer Emil Huseynzade went backstage at ModaPortugal for an intimate glimpse of the innovative collections on show.
