ESTORIL FASHIONART FESTIVAL: DAY 3 - TIMELESS NIGHT

The day 3 of Estoril FashionArt Festival was one of the most anticipated days of the event. "Timeless Night" the fashion show that showed the best of the Portuguese fashion. Twelve Portuguese fashion designers  interpreted the glitz and glamour of the night through magnificent dresses and raunchy outfits.  It is in the night that people are more free and approaching what they really are. Stripping the conveniences's cover and dare to invent characters full of glamor and seduction.

It is at night that fashion reinvents itself in luxury and fantasy without the limits of day-to-day. Put up the sun, the velvet night covers things from shadows, and people dress to rock! The night is eternal while it lasts and the people imagine... Imagine there's no Heaven/ It's easy if you try/ No hell below us/ Above us only sky/ Imagine all the people/ Living for today...You may say that I'm a dreamer...

 ... Timeless are each moment that we feel full of audacity and splendor!


O dia 3 do Estoril FashionArt Festival foi um dos mais aguardados do evento, um pouco pelo desfile " Eterna é a Noite" onde doze criadores de moda portugueses deram a sua interpretação do brilho e do glamour da noite, através dos seus magnificos vestidos e looks atrevidos. 

É a noite que as pessoas mais se soltam e se aproximam daquilo que realmente são. Despem a capa das conveniências e atrevem-se a inventar personagens cheias de glamour e sedução. É à noite que a moda se reinventa no luxo e na fantasia sem os limites do dia-a-dia. Põe-se o Sol, o veludo nocturno cobre as coisas de sombras, e as pessoas vestem-se para arrasar! A noite é eterna enquanto dura e as pessoas imaginam... uma canção de John Lennon! Imagine there's no Heaven/ It's easy if you try/ No hell below us/ Above us only sky/ Imagine all the people/ Living for today...You may say that I'm a dreamer...



... Eterno é cada momento em que nos sentimos no máximo da audácia e esplendor!


NUNO BALTAZAR











In Nuno Baltazar the evening dresses in ivory and black, dotted with wooden accessories where the ethnic and exotic gives the motto.

Em Nuno Baltazar a noite veste-se de marfim e negro, salpicada de acessórios de madeira onde o étnico e o exótico dão o mote...

ANA SALAZAR










Ana Salazar raises the imagination ... extraordinary nights of Studio 54, Les Bains Douches in Paris and The Fragile in Lisbon. The duo black and white is compelling.

Ana Salazar invoca a imaginação... as noites extraordinárias do Studio 54 em Nova Iorque, Les Bains Douches em Paris e o Frágil em Lisboa. O duo preto e branco são incontornáveis.

LUIS BUCHINHO








Luis Buchinho designs clothes for the confident woman that dazzles in her role as a mermaid. Draped, asymmetric and sobriety in the highlights for one chic and elegant night but very distinct.

Luis Buchinho cria roupa para a mulher confiante que deslumbra no seu papel de sereia. Drapeados, assimetricos e sobriedade nos brilhos para uma noite chique e elegante mas muito distinta.


RICARDO DOURADO





Ricardo Dourado loves the cosmopolitan woman with a European style but with a touch of South America. A woman who likes Paris but did not lose a night at S. Paulo, Brazil. Cool attitude without fear to impress and rocks!

Ricardo Dourado adora a mulher cosmopolita, com um estilo e uma forma de estar muito europeia com um toque Sul Americano. A mulher que gosta de Paris mas não perde uma noite em S.Paulo. Atitude cool sem receio de impressionar e arrasar assim é a mulher nocturna deste jovem criador Português.


JOSÉ ANTÓNIO TENENTE







The night by José António Tenente cuts to bright colors and cheerful as the hot pink. Women and men's personality are an extension of what they are during the day: stylish, casual, sober, assertive and knowing very well what they like.

Em José António Tenente a noite recorta-se a cores fortes e alegres como o rosa choque. A mulher e o homem noctivagos são uma extensão daquilo que são durante o dia: elegantes, casuais, sóbrios, afirmativos e que sabem muito bem o que gostam.


DINO ALVES






The woman at night by  Dino Alves dresses with exuberance as if she were herself a work of art, an installation, an event ... golden glows, attention to details and very glamorous as the night itself is by definition.

A mulher noctivaga de Dino Alves veste-se com exuberância como se ela própria fosse uma obra de arte, uma instalação, um acontecimento... dourados, brilhos, atenção aos detalhes e muito glamour como a noite é por definição.  
 
ALEXANDRA MOURA








It is impossible to see a woman dressed for the evening of Alexandra Moura without remembering the nights alternatives in Fragile in Lisbon, in the '80s. But, the designer breaks up the black one and brings us all the electrifying seduction of red mini-dresses just to smell the Versace and Gucci ... for a woman with an electrifying personality.

É impossivel ver a mulher vestida para a noite de Alexandra Moura sem nos lembrarmos das noites alternativas no Frágil em Lisboa, nos anos 80. Mas, a designer rompe com o preto único e traz-nos toda a sedução do vermelho electrizante em mini-vestidos justos a cheirar a Versace e Gucci... para uma mulher cheia de uma personalidade electrizante.


PEDRO PEDRO







When the FashionArt Festival asked to Pedro Pedro if he remembered the first time he saw a very beautiful woman/man at night, he replied that recalls the birthday party at the bar Fragil in the Armazem 22!  It was the Lisbon's Movida  was moved across the splendor! I loved the dresses of Pedro Pedro, very feminine and full of coolness.

Quando a organização do Festival ( ver caderno vermelho e branco muito bem feito sobre o evento) ao Pedro Pedro se se lembrava da primeira vez que viu uma pessoa muito bonita à noite, ele respondeu que recorda a festa de aniversário do bar Frágil no Armazem 22! Era a movida Lisboeta em todo os seu esplendor! Adorei os vestidos de Pedro Pedro, muito femininos e cheios de coolness.

FILIPE FAÍSCA





Filipa Faísca confessed to be an admirer of Anamar, a very stylish girl that went through the Portuguese Lisbon nights in the 80s at the bar Fragile when everything really big happened at that time. However, the actual woman of Filipe Faísca will get the elegance and charm to the 50s. Dresses and skirts very fair, transparencies and velvet to shine in the hot nights.

Filipe Faísca confessa-se admirador da Anamar uma stylish girl portuguesa que percorria as noites lisboetas nos anos 80 no bar Frágil. Todavia, a mulher actual de Filipe Faísca vai buscar a elegância e charme aos anos 50. Vestidos e saias muito justas, transparências e veludo para brilhar nas noites quentes.

RICARDO PRETO
 






Ricardo's woman at night loves let the hair very long and wear high heels but clothing has a disarming simplicity. More is less definitely in this concept of beauty that is both very natural but insinuates a strong woman.

A mulher de Ricardo Preto adora soltar o cabelo e calçar saltos altissimos mas a roupa tem uma simplicidade desarmante. Mais é menos, definitivamente, na beleza que se quer natural mas muito insinuosa.  


ALVES/GONÇALVES




In the duo of designers Alves / Gonçalves what I like more is mainly the quality of fabrics and the great cut of all the pieces. The dresses are simple but the excellence of the materials enriches any piece. I loved the purple dress in the image above ... an extreme elegance!

Na dupla Alves/Gonçalves o que mais gosto é sobretudo a qualidade dos tecidos e o excelente corte de todas as peças. Os vestidos são simples mas a excelência dos materiais enriquece por si qualquer peça. Adorei o vestido roxo às bolas na imagem acima... de uma elegância extrema! 


MIGUEL VIEIRA


 








 
Glamorous is the night ....in Miguel Vieira with lust and glow, it's  what a woman and a man dressed for a party on the French Riviera or a ball in Monaco because it was in Monaco where the Portuguese designer looked for the very first time so many beautiful women together.  Beautiful couples emanating charm and timeless elegance. More than just fashion ... style!
 
Glamourosa é a noite em Miguel Vieira.... e muito luxo a lembrar o que uma mulher e um homem vestiriam para uma festa a rigor na Riviera Francesa ou num baile no Mónaco, a primeira vez que o designer português viu muitas mulheres bonitas juntas. Pares que emanam charme e elegância intemporal. Mais do que moda... um estilo!

ESTORIL FASHIONART FESTIVAL - DAY TWO

FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY (SPAIN)

Another day of FashionArt (day two) that Fashion Heroines loved a lot! The beginning of the evening was spectacular with a beautiful Summer sunset over the Bay of Cascais. In the Square near the Bay very stylish people come together to attend the opening of one of the most interesting exhibitions of the Festival: Fashion Photography by the recognized Spanish photographers: José Manuel Ferrater, Eugenio Recuenco, Daniel Riera and David Urbano - you can read more about them HERE.

This festival show us such diversity which clearly demonstrate that fashion is not just clothes and accessories, but it traverses different forms of art ranging from photography, installation, film, documentary, music, design and of course the catwalk. It will be presented collections of Spanish and Portuguese designers which fashion shows will happen until Sunday.


Mais um dia do Estoril FashionArt Festival que está a decorrer em Cascais desde a passada Quarta-feira - DAY TWO. Fashion Heroines adorou este 2º dia da 1ª edição de um Festival que promete vir a ser um marco não só para os fashionistas como para todos aqueles que se interessam por moda e pelas expressões artisticas que lhe estão associadas. Este festival vem, assim, demostrar claramente que moda não é só roupa e acessórios, mas, que movimenta diferentes formas de arte que vai desde a fotografia, à instalação, cinema, documentário, música, design e claro as colecções de estilistas espanhóis e portugueses.

Estava um fim de tarde magnifico na Baia de Cascais onde se juntou muita gente estilosa para assistir à inauguração de uma das mais interessantes exposições do Festival: fotografia de moda dos reconhecidos fotógrafos espanhóis José Manuel Ferrater, Eugenio Recuenco, Daniel Riera e David Urbano. Para saber mais sobre estes fotógrafos vá AQUI.






Selected by the artistic contribution that they give to the fashion and photography in Spain, the images presented in the Exhibition of Fashion Photography (ES) are also evidence of the diversity of languages allowed by photographic expression.

The exhibition remains open from July 2 to July 11 from 13:00 to 21:00.

Seleccionados pela contribuição que estes fotógrafos deram à fotografia de moda em Espanha, as imagens presentes na exposição evidenciam a diversidade de linguagens permitidas por esta expressão artistica.



A exposição estará patente ao público até 11 de Julho das 15:00 às 21:00 no antigo edificio dos Bombeiros voluntários de Cascais (Praça 5 de Outubro - junto aos Paços do Concelho).





HOMBRESENFALDA

Then Fashion Heroines went to Marina of Cascais where we saw the opening of an interesting exhibition that promises to revolutionize menswear: " Hombresenfalda" (skirts for men). There are 110 skirts male mannequins with rebel proposals of national fashion designers - Ana Salazar, Dino Alves, Filipe Faísca, Nuno Baltazar, Ricardo Dourado and Miguel Vieira - and international designers, mainly Spanish.

Seguidamente fomos até à Marina de Cascais onde assistimos à inauguração de uma curiosa exposição que promete revolucionar a moda masculina: Hombresenfalda ( saias para homens). São 110 manequins de saias masculinas que simbolizam as propostas rebeldes de criadores de moda nacionais - Ana Salazar, Dino Alves, Filipe Faísca, Nuno Baltazar, Ricardo Dourado e Miguel Vieira - e internacionais, sobretudo espanhóis.

We do not know if the men skirts will become a trend, but the proposals presented in the exhibition are very interesting, although some little wearable. And certainly some pieces are really revolutionary and they would probably say elegant. But only for the most daring men!

Não sabemos se a as saias de homem virão a ser uma tendência mas as propostas apresentadas na exposição são muito interessantes, ainda que algumas muito pouco vestiveis. E certamente que algumas peças são revolucionárias e diriamos até elegantes. Mas, só para os homens mais atrevidos!

LAB 'WORK-IN-PROGRESS/PERFORMANCE

Aforest-design, Torres Lara, Ricardo Andrez, Vitor and White Tent, five projects in fashion design together united by a common stance against the design of clothing, they are the five labels that make up the platform LAB of ModaLisboa, who brought an original performance to the Estoril FashionArt Festival's catwalk - "Work-in-Progress".

Aforest-design, Lara Torres, Ricardo Andrez, Vitor and White Tent, cinco projectos de design de moda unidos por uma postura comum face ao design de vestuário, são as cinco marcas que integram a plataforma LAB da ModaLisboa, que nos trouxeram uma performance original para a passerelle do Estoril FashionArt Festival - "Work-in-Progress".

All the five pieces before the intervention/As peças antes de serem transformadas na passerelle


It is therefore proposed to the viewer to experience the creative process through the creative intervention of Marilia Maria Mira (fashion designer) in five selected pieces. Thus, the audience watches in the catwalk the deconstruction of the individual pieces, and the creation of a new object.

É, assim, proposto ao espectador experienciar o processo criativo através da intervenção de Marilia Maria Mira (designer de moda) em cinco peças seleccionadas da plataforma LAB. Assim, o público assiste à desconstrução na passerelle, de cada uma das peças, presenciando a criação de um novo objecto.

Andrew Garfield


Cute Brit Andrew Garfield is the new Spider Man

If you missed last year's 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus', a.k.a. Heath Ledger's last movie, you missed one of the most enchanting performances ever by rising British star Andrew Garfield. He played the elfish Anton, one of the Doctor's performers, who helped rescue Ledger's character from certain death while hanging from a bridge and brought him into a ragtag group of traveling gypsies. One look at Garfield and I was in love.

The magic was real - customers were literally taken through the imagination of Dr. Parnassus by stepping through a makeshift mirror into their own imaginations, into real-life dreams that would make Walt Disney himself cry tears of joy. Anton's job (and later Ledger's) was to reel customers in, to seduce them with stories about the 1000-year-old Dr..Parnassus, of making their dreams come true.

Garfield played Anton with a sincere honesty and unyielding sense of duty, until he discovers the truth of it all. Which might describe his transition from relatively unknown British actor to all-American Blockbuster hero. But let's hope for the best.



Fitting into Tobey McGuire's tights would prove a bit of a task for any actor, much less an unknown from the UK. But Garfield has that "IT" factor, that indescribable something special that big stars possess. Director Marc Webb said of Garfield, "He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit, and humanity. Mark my words, you will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker."

Plus, he's great eye candy. In tights. And close-ups.

The fourth film in the series is planned to be a Spider-Man origin story ("prequel") that Sony said would focus on "a teenager grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises." Garfield is 26, but easily passes for 16.

The actor is one of the hottest talents in Hollywood. He's currently promoting two movies - 'Never Let Me Go' with Keira Knightley, and 'The Social Network', a making-of-Facebook tell-all costarring Justin Timberlake and Jesse Eisenburg. And he's currently working on a movie called "Night Flower".
