Nothing is as Certain as Uncertainty–For Modalisboa #37, long-time regular of the Portuguese fashion week, Alexandra Moura presented a spring/summer 2012 collection entitled The Uncertainty Principle inspired by a book, a compilation of animal illustrations organized in such a way so that one can shape one’s own combinations amongst them and create the most extraordinary, unique and sometimes surreal creatures … following this concept, the collection takes life from a mix of ideas, reference, time periods, art movements … A strong geometrical statement is created through the assembly of materials – cotton, silk, vinyl, jersey, crepe, cool wool – and colors – putty, green, pink, black, white, orange … straight lines contrast with volumes … color blocks oppose to stripes … ruffled bermudas resemble skirts and are sometimes paired with matching trousers, shirts are punched to look as if in polka dots, vinyl tops take on poplin bottoms … accessorized with sling-back brogues and surrealistic sunglasses, rounding out the lineup with a loose silhouette that is young and comfortable.
