From 18 to 20 October, Portugal Fashion will be back at its favourite place, the Porto Customs House building, where almost every fashion show at this 43rd event is to be held. After Alexandra Moura's fashion show at ModaLisboa, Portugal Fashion returns to Porto to hold 35 fashion shows and two presentations, divided between the main catwalk, Bloom (young designers) and the premises of the Cães de Pedra group (Lion of Porches and Decenio). Nine clothing labels, eight footwear and accessories brands, 17 individual designers and two creative duos will be revealing their spring/summer 2019 collections. There will also be coordinates by seven young designers and five fashion schools.

Portugal Fashion returns to Paris Fashion Week on 26 September with one first-timer and two names whose international careers have already taken them to the city of light. At midday in Palais de Tokyo, the Marques’Almeida label will be on the official Paris Fashion Week calendar for the very first time, as part of its first inclusion on the Portugal Fashion itinerary. Later, at Université Paris Descartes, at 1:30 pm and at 6:30 pm respectively, Diogo Miranda and Luís Buchinho return to the Paris event, completing yet another stage in their internationalisation process.

In September, Portugal Fashion will be continuing with its Portuguese fashion promotion strategy on the big international catwalks, this time supporting the summer 2019 fashion shows by five national designers and labels, first in London and then in Paris. Alexandra Moura (London Fashion Week), Diogo Miranda and Luís Buchinho (Paris Fashion Week) once again are endorsed by the fashion project led by ANJE – Portuguese Association of Young Entrepreneurs. The Sophia Kah (London Fashion Week) and Marques'Almeida (Paris Fashion Week) labels will be making their débuts on Portugal Fashion's international itinerary.
