Lisbon Fashion Week is expanding beyond its traditional headquarters for the first time, with Avenida da Liberdade hosting a parallel program during the October edition. ModaLisboa na Avenida, running October 1-5, brings fashion conversations, workshops, and networking events to Portugal’s most iconic avenue, celebrating both international luxury brands and Portuguese design talent.
The initiative, launched by Associação Avenida and embraced by Associação Moda Lisboa, represents the 65th edition’s geographic expansion project – ModaLisboa BASE. Multiple city locations will benefit from fashion week energy beyond the usual epicenter at Pátio da Galé.
Avenida da Liberdade Events: Fashion Week Program
Events scheduled throughout the week include visits to traditional tailoring ateliers, private sessions with Portuguese fashion designers, workshops on fashion trends, eyewear and makeup demonstrations, specially created menus and cocktails, and rooftop celebrations at new city venues.
Most ModaLisboa na Avenida events concentrate on October 2, the date chosen by organizers to highlight various Off Locations. Some events have limited capacity and require advance registration through the ModaLisboa or Avenida da Liberdade websites.
Lisbon Property Market: Cultural Events Drives Value
