LISBON, PORTUGAL - Fashion Studio Magazine selected Top 6 emerging designers from Sangue Novo show that took place yesterday during Lisbon Fashion Week AW 2015: David Catalan, Cristina Real, Ana Duarte, Inês Duvale, M HKA, and Tânia Fonseca.

"Curiosity is the heart of fashion and the essence of what fashion propels to the future. The youthfulness of a curious eye is reflected in the legacy of imagination that is demanded to the new generation of designers – today and tomorrow. Their urgent and emergent responsibility is the new blood that carries us to the future of fashion, to the metamorphosis of the concepts and to the human being’s dare over the ever-changing Nature." - ModaLisboa

M HKA

ABOUT

It´s written M HKA. It´s read MUHKA. It´s indescribable. It´s spontaneous. It´s flippant. It can be minimal or eccentric, it doesn´t have to follow the same approach. The universe is in a constant twirl of movements, nothing stays the same, the human being transforms, as does its mind. The brand grows and develops in synergie with the universe. Nothing is a fact.

M HKA x two is the first collection, created by Alexandre Pereira and Felícia Macedo, but the brand is always open to merge with new lines of thought, new approaches, and new people. It´s an experimental universe, in a constant movement. It´s not just apparel, or fashion, it´s a whole cosmos of image, clothes, shoes, accessories and styling.

M HKA is for a unisex target with an average purchasing power. There are no genders nor ages, but a young spirit, willing to immerse in some contemporary pieces, created and made in Portugal.
