calling on comporta
The magic of Comporta—a town originally built by architects and artists—is their practice of slow living. This village is a cross between laid back surfer and upscale luxury. The entire town has a subtly elegant and intentional design to preserve the natural landscape of rice fields and tall waving wheat. The pops of blue are a distinct sign that Comporta is close, and the ocean is only a short walk.
what we wore
Comporta’s beauty is largely thanks to its muted structure with pops of color. The looks we’ve crafted are simple silhouettes with pops of color and pattern reminiscent of days by the sea while always looking chic in what’s often coined as the Hamptons of Portugal.
behind the scenes
In this tranquil coastal village, it’s the natural beauty that steals the show. But behind each shot is a team working to capture the raw, unpolished charm of Comporta—chasing soft light, and maybe living...not so slowly through the town.
