Dépaysement non-lieu combines Christian symbolism and hacker visual language through garments that merge heavy protection with tailored utility. Crosses, psalms, and the direct message ‘’God Knows Why’’ claim for graphic codes, while functional details reference contemporary tech culture.

Designed and produced end-to-end by the author using primarly recovered fabrics, with a long term sourcing of responsability with materials.

The collection progresses from armored weight to a final white look conceived as a closing gesture of peace.

Look 0001.3 is a full-leather ensemble built around a sensual yet heavy silhouette, pairing an oversized bomber with a long mermaid skirt.

The bomber is made from recovered leather and finish with YKK SK3X snap buttons and a YKK double ziper, with internal and external pockets and a full silk lining. Key details include a leather aviator tag, hand engraved on leather and a silver Jesus Christ figure applied to the back.

The mermaid skirt, continues the recovered leather. The intention was to construct an unmistakaby sexy form using materially dense, protective components.

Look 0002 is a corporate-coded ensemble built around weight, precision and adaptability, combining a bourdeaux pony-hair blazer, a mini pony hair skirt and a high leather reels.

Key details include a large functional back pocket, designed to fit a Macbook Pro and a custom made silver 7.63 ammo bag, introducing a discreet hardware-like accent within a refined silhouette.

The intention was to create a look that moves smoothly across different environments: formal, transitional and off-hours, without losing its authority or practicality.

Look 0003.1 is a white-on-white ensemble built around a calm, naive sillhouette: white wool shirt and trousers paired with a pony hair corset constructed with reused leather. Designed as a deliberate shift in tone within the collection, the look reads peaceful and restrained, constrasting the heavier, more confrontational language of other outfits.

Key elements include the garment print ‘’God Knows Why’’ and a leather cross placed at the center of the corset. On the runway, the styling incorporated specific equipment and white Brazillian flas as intentional symbols, reinforcing the look’s central message: a direct search for peace.

Backstage is often described as high-pressure. BACKSTAGE25 at @portugalfashion was built with moments of connections, an used camera to document what was happening and to help the new-face models settle into the environment and into the clothes.
As result, memories from inside: preparation, trust, and human presence behind the runway.

’’A life worth living is one consciously devoted to others.’’

less urgency, more care, attention, and support for the people representing the work.

End-to-end footwear development: concept, sketching, pattern engineering, prototyping, construction, finishing and 3D documentation.

This sneaker explores a utilitarian sillhouette built from two reference languages: the proportional architecture of German Army Trainers and the heavy-duty character associated with São Paulo’s ROTA footwear.

The shoe is made from recovered leather, treating material constraints as part of the design problem. Tags were produced with R-SKIN and the build is finishes on VIBRAM soles.
