Onofre, who is a third-generation shoe producer, is also an established designer and debuted his SS25 collection in September. The collection included bold colors and silhouettes that were aimed at evoking strong emotions—an approach that mirrors Portugal’s growing recognition beyond just the fashion spaces, but also in footwear, jewelry and leather goods.
“In recent years Portugal has aroused international curiosity with its culture and customs and is now a very desirable country for the most well-traveled minds. With some new talents driving this change and savvy designers leading the way, Portuguese style is more than fashionable,” Onofre told V. “As an author, the Made in Portugal label signifies identity and pride in something I call home. I belong to the third generation of a family that has always been linked to footwear production and I feel that my Portuguese and family identity is visible in my work.”

Gonçalves is also the creator of the Portuguese Soul Magazine, which released its AUTUMN/WINTER ‘24 edition in late October. The magazine presented its latest issue and collection through an event at Modalisboa, in doing so, Gonçalves said, “we aim to connect the industry and the designer, particularly promoting high-quality leather footwear.”

“Portuguese Soul is a love story that began 15 years ago and is materialized into two annual printed editions, with over 200 pages, distributed to 100 countries across five continents,” Gonçalves told V. “It exists for the love of art, Portuguese footwear, and leather accessories, and for the accumulated know-how of several generations. For the love of fashion, creativity, and design with the label ‘made in Portugal.’ A testament to a country with many talents.”
