The first day of fashion shows at the megastructure in Parque da Cidade, on 22 March, was almost completely devoted to the young designers of the Bloom project, through which Portugal Fashion discovers, promotes and supports new designers.

There are known the names of the two winners of the Bloom Contest, the competition seeking for new portuguese fashion talents. Mara Flora and Maria Meira won the first place of the competition, after the collective show that decided the two best outfits in contest.

Along with the FW18-19 collections by Portugal Fashion’s young talents, the Bloom In newspapper returns with its third publication. In the same day where the city of fashion came to life, at Porto’s city park, Bloom In brought with itself new bloomers, new collections and eight new talents that shined in the alternative catwalk of the Bloom Contest.
