Abbondanza Matos Ribeiro
Portuguese brand (1989)
by Eduarda Abbondanza and MÄrio Matos Ribeiro.
Abbondanza Matos Ribeiro’s work is characterized by great technical rigor in the cutting of fabric and an image that is romantic and evocative. In 1991 they launch the project ModaLisboa, through which they contribute to the success of Portuguese fashion and to its launch on an international level, presenting their own ideas on runways along with those of other stylists. In 1995 they stop presenting their collections in order to dedicate themselves to the creation of clothes and costumes for the theater. In 1996 they found the AsociaciÆn ModaLisboa in order to promote the work of Portuguese designers and the idea of contemporary and interdisciplinary Portuguese fashion. 
Work of Abbondanza Matos Ribeiro
Eduarda Abbondanza was born in Lisbon and her mission has always been to surround herself with books, culture, art and thinkers. While living between Milan and Lisbon, she graduated in Fashion Design from CITEM and interned with Ana Salazar and Rafaella Curriel. Between 1984 and 1989, Abbondanza and Matos Ribeiro performed many individual works, in the fields of fashion, film and theater.
Both were part of the Portuguese delegation to the Biennale of Young Makers of the Mediterranean, which took place in the Spanish city of Barcelona. Through the collaboration, they made the costumes for “O Lagarto do Âmbar,” a production of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and coordinated the wardrobe of American dancer Ann Papoulis, in the performances she performed alone at the 20th Dance Festival in Brussels, Belgium.
