The largest Portuguese committee ever will be attending the summer edition of Who’s Next Paris. Thirteen Portuguese companies will be taking the quality, design and creativity which characterise made in Portugal products, which are increasingly valued and recognised internationally, to Paris. The Portuguese committee will be showcasing a varied and comprehensive range of products, from men and women's apparel, jeanswear, designer fashion, accessories and jewellery.
Ana Sousa - Ballentina - Blackspider - Cheyenne - Cristina Barros – Eva & Ava - Givec - Luís Buchinho - Maloka - Pé de Chumbo - Susana Bettencourt - Tiffosi - TMCollection – are the thirteen companies making up the Portuguese delegation travelling to Paris, as part of the From Portugal internationalisation project, an initiative by Associação Selectiva Moda, with the support of the NSRF and Compete.
Women's fashion is represented by the Ana Sousa, Ballentina, Blackspider, Cristina Barros, Eva & Ava, Givec, and Maloka brands. The latter is making its debut at the trade show, presenting a collection characterised by creative cuts, mixes of materials and exquisite details, where the quality and comfort of the materials are always a priority.

«Cocktail Dresses» are the highlight of the collection showcased by Luís Buchinho at Who’s Next Paris. “Paris continues to be the largest epicentre for capturing international clients and attending this trade show enables us to showcase our collections to a wide variety of markets, in particular to a large number of heterogeneous clients”, explains Carla Reis, who manages the brand. “We have very high expectations, insofar as we have been growing since first attending the event in January 2013”, she adds.
Susana Bettencourt is back at Who’s Next Paris. Bargello (Florentine) embroidery is the inspiration for Spring/Summer 15 – Realignment – which by definition is Craft versus Digital. Yellow, aquamarine, black and white strengthen the concept and for the first time Susana Bettencourt combines innate craft and digital language in a single garment. Accessories and handmade jewellery are the pieces highlighted.
Natural cool fabrics, are the proposal for Spring/Summer 15 by TMCollection, which is making its debut in Paris. The collection is characterised by a pastoral and ethnic chic-inspired approach, with particular focus on dresses, trousers and tunics with embroidery and exclusive prints in silk, cotton and linen.
