Filipe Faisca AW 2012

We had to wait till the very end of ModaLisboa to discover its best collection.

Filipe Faisca draws his story in a metropolitan, rainy landscape, starting with the silent dark silhouette of a beautiful woman sitting alone in the very center of the stage and repairing with a black umbrella. The mystery continues, as dark catwalk figures begin to appear: structured bodies wearing Matrix-style black sunglasses and hand-painted red ankle socks on bare legs.

Every shape is different, every outfit a perfect surprise: mousseline, georgette, crepe, leather and viscose jersey are the fabrics, combined, pleated and shaped to give life to an Hitchcock-inspired collection in all lengths, from trains to little short dresses. Black is the main color: more than a leit motif to style a dark lady, in this stormy night the tint of elegance is the perfect shelter for Filipe Faisca sexy, bleak soul.
