Maison Nuno Gama

Portuguese fashion designer Nuno Gama's stylish and innovative apparel has graced Portuguese personalities from the worlds of music and screen entertainment. Drawing heavily on his country's culture and tradition for inspiration, this maverick designer melds creativity with sensitivity to explore Portugal's history through its architecture and religious symbolism. Even the weather incites inventiveness, particularly the luminous quality of the light that bathes Lisbon and Porto, and reflects off the Atlantic Ocean. Leather and wool are the raw materials used often to create his garments, and Gama will happily collide with the conventional in order to establish what he calls the "new urban hero" look. And in addition to garments, the stylist creates footwear, travel luggage and a jewellery range.
