dino alves, the ‘troublemaker’ of the portuguese fashion, created the buzz of this modalisboa edition by choosing to use male models only to present his unisex and women’s “he, she and me” collection for aw1011 !

the main inspiration being male clothing exclusively, in its rather formal aspects, the collection is based on classic pieces of the man’s wardrobe (suits, blazers, shirts and trousers) and captures details (collars, cuffs, lapels, ties etc) as well as shapes and materials associated with menswear : female or unisex items come along from that starting point … established on formal and austere ideas, the transformation from masculine into feminine also originates the creation of more exuberant, amusing and avant-garde clothes …

one of the main aesthetic influences comes from japanese kabuki theatre – exclusively interpreted by men – in which sensual dancers would criticize religious themes; the collection therefore has a dramatic appearance and atmosphere revealed by dark and distinct colours (black, white, grey, blue, red, dark green, wine red and pale pink) and the exaggeration of shapes and details …

between “the rocky horror picture show” and a dior by john galliano haute couture show …

  1. This is pushing menswear way too far. In fact, this isn't even menswear. There should be a fine line when it comes to feminizing menswear. Raf does it very well. While this is just pure joke.

  2. I'm not sure it should be called menswear at this point. Any person with a tall and lean build who finds these clothes attractive can wear them – they're unisex in that way, though maybe more gendered toward feminine than most of what we consider "androgynous."
