In 2022, APICCAPS pays homage to the works and the main artists of the Portuguese painting scene that symbolize what distinguishes us as a country, civilization and a collective personality. It is what makes us unique in a world ever more open, diverse and globalized. If in 2021, amidst the global pandemic, the Portuguese shoes made a eulogy for the poetry of the the bodies of models and dancers, as a token of strength and gracefulness, resilience and liberty, wondering “can the industry be artform?”, this year, carrying on the mission, APICCAPS reinforces the premise that the industry can be an ally of artists, creating singular moments and objects of desire.

"Nothing is lost, everything is transformed." The famous phrase of the French chemist Lavoisier takes on a whole new significance in this day and age. The need for a transformational change in the fashion industry is beginning to be embraced by many players who are taking on the challenge of sustainability as the standard of their daily operations. The latest issue of MODAPORTUGAL Prinçipal reveals the path taken by the Valérius Group in raising awareness and educating for a fashion industry that is intended to be more circular, clean and sustainable, without ever compromising the quality, know-how, flexibility and innovation already intrinsic to the "made in Portugal" label.

AORP returns to Lisboa Fashion Week with an exhibition that combines its latest campaign with a capsule collection that is a fusion of talents. On Floor 1 of Factory Lisbon, we cross oceans together. The Travessia campaign was born of the ambition of assertingPortuguese jewellery internationally, crossing the bridge that separates our essence and tradition from the need for adaptation and innovation within the scope of the new dynamics of the global market. Travessia is reproduced through a video mapping that shows the process of creating a jewel, in which nature, the human figure, and technology are intertwined in perfect symbiosis. The Crossings exhibition appears as a materialization of Travessia. 5 factories were challenged by AORP to create a piece of jewellery, in co-creation with a figure linked to art, sport, and culture.
