The Ricardo Dourado Spring/Summer 2013 collection makes its debut at Moda Lisboa fashion week. Entitled 'West meets East,' this stunning runway presentation takes its inspiration from organic architecture.
From its raw materiality to its structured silhouettes, this modern menswear collection dares to impress with its effortless air of elegance and easy sense of comfort.
Displaying unconventional shapes and utilitarian uniform-inspired accent details, the Ricardo Dourado Spring/Summer 2013 collection is both edgy and avant-garde. From its fashion-forward visual aesthetic to its heavily inked models, this runway presentation rejects traditional fashion ideals instead embracing dramatic draping, intricate tailoring and harnessed belt details. Using unconventional fabrics, the fearless streetwear designer marries organic cottons, earthy prints and croc-embossed accents to create modern luxury that never loses its urban air of cool.
