Goncalo Pascoa, Marta Goncalves and Nuno Sousa are the creative team behind HIBU, a label that referenced nomadic styles when designing their Spring/Summer 2015 range. This tribalism-themed menswear collection graced the stage at PortugalFashion's BLOOM event and stole the show with its collection of eclectic and masked looks.

Models took to the stage in modern and nomadic styles like over-sized tees, draped tunics and cape-like outerwear pieces that were constructed using printed and rubberized fabrics. The looks were paired with unlikely makeup applications that included full face paint looks in a stunning blue hue.

In addition to its eye-catching beauty applications, HIBU's latest collection also highlighted a range of [chunky necklace accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transition-collection) that were intricately knotted and sculptural in their design aesthetic.
