Project concept

For this project we have been asked how we would bring Portuguese culture into a city like Manchester. This will later be translated into an existing building. Our first area of research is to create a small film based on our own findings of Portuguese culture such as music, dance, food, Architecture etc to create a certain mood that we would like to portray to any audience.

Fashion



I found this area one of the hardest to research, although there was plenty of traditional dress information, there was a lot less on modern wear it was mainly on high fashion which is everywhere in Europe. I did find that Portuguese tend to wear a lot of cotton and linen made materials, I am presuming because of the heat. Traditional dress consists of bold, bright colours, basque like (tight waisted) full skirts, head pieces and wide full length sleeves.
