The second day of the 44th Portugal Fashion starts today at 15:00 in the Customs of Porto with the collection “Article 1”, by designer Inês Torcato, and ends with the ‘Winter in Africa’ parade by Miguel Vieira.

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in the spirit of brotherhood”, can be read in article 1 of the declaration.

At 6:00 pm, Katty Xiomara presents “Maria Mimosa”, a tribute collection to the character “Hello Kitty”, the cat that was born in 1974, the same year as the designer.
According to Xiomara, the new collection dedicated to women also tries to raise consumer awareness for the durability of the pieces.
