Freedom-Inspired Fashion

Valentim Quaresma's Latest Line Features Intricate Sculptural Work

— October 17, 2016 — Fashion
Valentim Quaresma, a Portuguese fashion designer, unveiled his freedom-inspired Spring/Summer 2017 series during Lisbon's fashion week -- which is perhaps better known as ModaLisboa.

Many of the pieces look as though they draw from the armor that was worn by gladiators, with sculptural metallic structures adoring the torsos of models who walked the runway. The warrior theme is further shown in the face painting that complemented the ensembles, as well as the flowing pants.

Despite the ancient linkages, the freedom-inspired looks were simultaneously futuristic, making for apparel that verges on post-apocalyptic. Not only do the pieces put forth a powerful aesthetic by utilizing warrior themes, but they also implement a sense of liberty that comes from their overt unconventionality.
Trend Themes
1. Freedom-inspired Fashion - Opportunity for designers to create clothing that combines elements of ancient warrior aesthetics with futuristic elements.
2. Sculptural Metallic Structures - Potential for fashion designers to incorporate intricate and innovative metallic structures into their designs.
3. Post-apocalyptic Apparel - Chance for fashion designers to explore post-apocalyptic themes in their collections, creating clothing that merges powerful aesthetics with a sense of unconventionality.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Design - Fashion designers can tap into the freedom-inspired trend and create garments that blend ancient warrior aesthetics with futuristic elements.
2. Metalworking - Opportunity for metalworkers to collaborate with fashion designers and create intricate sculptural metallic structures for clothing.
3. Cosmetics - Chance for cosmetic companies to develop face painting products that complement post-apocalyptic apparel and enhance the warrior-themed aesthetic.
