The best way to be a tourist is to not be one. Perhaps I should explain: what I mean is that the only way to truly experience any city is to live it, and for that you need a sense of adventure and an appropriately inappropriate wardrobe. Something you can both get around in and go out in, should the opportunity present itself. For my latest post at the Witchery ‘W’ Edit I wandered the streets of Lisbon, Portugal, and these over-the-knee boots proved so perfect I couldn’t ask for anything more. They’re the kind of boots that instantly feel like they’ve already been broken in and moulded to your foot. And yet, they’re utterly stylish and on-trend, too.

Walking up the cobbled hills in said boots, hearing church bells chime, and letting time slow down around you while you watch the sunset in a backless sweater, the cool breeze tickling your back… this might just have been the best way to spend an afternoon in Lisbon.

From the city lookouts to where to shop and dine, you can see the whole Lisbon City Guide here. After the break, a selection of photos from the guide, including some outtakes. Because I really couldn’t get enough of that sunset.

STREETSTYLE

At some indefinable point in time, the crop top found sophistication and elegance alongside its more casual interpretations. A lace cropped camisole never looked so easy as when paired with a pair of relaxed, wide-leg pants and a lightweight spring trench.

History SPFW - Sao Paulo Fashion Week

In 1996, the

fashion event in Sao Paulo

had its first edition under the name Morumbi Fashion Brasil. It was organized by businessman and promoter of events Paulo Borges in Sao Paulo's Ibirapuera Park.

Sao Paulo, epicenter of fashion in Brazil

The Morumbi Fashion Brasil completelychanged the world of Brazilian fashion.

During that time,

international brands such as Chanel, Versace and Gucci started to open up shop in Brazil

. This brought a significant change to the country's textile industry.

Fueled by the foreign brands, Brazilian businessmen were forced to invest in technology, machinery and skilled labour, tocompete with the foreign market.

After ten editions, the event changed its name into Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

At this time,

Brazilian supermodels like Gisele Bundchen

, Isabeli Fontana, Ana Claudia Michels and Alessandra Ambrosio began to claim their fame and helped to make the Sao Paulo Fashion Week the renowned and prestigious international event it is today.

As a spinoff, many Brazilian brands like TNG, Colcci, Osklen and Cavalera began to have an international reputation and became major brands.

Famous Brazilian fashion designersof today, among others Carlos Miele, Francisco Costa, Ricardo Almeida and Gloria Coelho, all took their first steps at the Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

Today however, the focus of SPFW is not only to promote the work of the designers.

Especially mobilizing and organizing the production of fashion in Brazil and to promote new business is the main purpose of the Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

The Sao Paulo Fashion Week is organised twice a year; in March with the collection of Spring-Summer and in October presenting a collection of Autumn-Winter. Each SPFW event lasts five or six days.

Over the years, there has been a significant increase in the number of participating designers and also the crowds haves increased: more than a million people visit the Sao Paulo Fashion Week in 2014, against a hundred thousand in 1996.

The Sao Paulo Fashion Week is also responsible for creating several side events, focused on fast fashion and large textile producers supporting the collections presented at the fashion event for the big stores and thus generate a wider audience.
