CIRCUIT’S 1st edition will take place between the 27th and 29th of April at the fruit market Santa Clara, located in the “Feira da Ladra” area.
Circuit, the pioneering Lifestyle/Fashion event in Barcelona, is taking second residence with its Iberian neighbour, Lisbon.
The Project Circuit originated six years ago in 2000 as an innovative idea to create a circuit of events within the framework of a city, originally Barcelona.
A platform for emerging talent in Fashion, Art, Music and Gastronomy mixed with jeans and sportswear, itinerary and thematic. Circuit takes place all over the city with different Exhibitions, Fashion Presentations, Videos, Concerts, Exclusive Parties, amongst others.

Portugal, Lisbon, Santa Clara fruit market, Graça neighbourhood, 27th, 28th & 29th of April 2006. These are the chosen dates and locations to celebrate Circuit, a unique event. In Portugal, Circuit counts with and thanks the sponsoring from AVIS, ARTEH Hotels and Resorts, Schwarzkopf Professional, Wearplay, Hilfiger Denim, Amoreiras, Lipton, Sveltess and MAC, and the support from FTV, DIF, Rádio Oxigénio and the collaboration of the Câmara Municipal de Lisboa.

Circuit is unique for a number of reasons, but it is famous for its theme based events. This spring’s theme is TASTE...

Taste Lisbon in three days: EAT - SMELL - DRINK. A mix of sensations and experimentalism, where the intention is to bring the audience to have a new sensorial perspective and experience that is seductive and at the same time, provocative.

Around the area, within walking distance, the audience and the press will be able to experience events, installations and interesting shows that will take place in the market itself.

Fashion:
The fashion designers are Portuguese new talent: Nuno Tiago, Exclusive Glamour T-Shirts, Daniel Dinis, Dirty Cop. From Spain we bring two special guests, Bambi and El Delgado Buil. Also, Wearplay, a national jeanswear brand, will be presenting a show with a very special “set design”.
