SOPRO COLLECTION, BY FLAVIA ARANHA CLOSES SPFW N51

Flavia Aranha exhibited the new collection at SPFW N51 to celebrate the theme of regeneration

Flavia Aranha presented the film-collection Sopro, alongside the musician and producer Betão Aguiar, to close out the São Paulo Fashion Week N51 and celebrate regeneration as the future of sustainable fashion. On Sunday, the 27th, the stylist was invited to a sustainability round table, a chat about building a sustainable brand.

The collection reused the waste destined to the brand’s fabric bank to design it from a new chapter. “I enjoyed seeing the brand in this new place. Gathering pieces is gathering memories. There’s something simple about it,” she told Elle magazine.

The brand expresses sustainability and conscious development in the reuse of the studio patches with patchwork technique, in partnership with the Artisans of Muquém (Goiás) and Artisans of Maciel (Minas Gerais).

The collection features clothes in cotton, linen, silk and natural and organic wool, animal accessories, created in partnership with the brand Arqvo, whistle necklaces of the artisan from Espírito Santo, Maurílio Coelho and magnifying glass necklaces. Also, the tapestry pieces should be highlighted, handmade by women of the Lagoa do Carro (Pernambuco) Tapestry Association, using Merino Wool yarns from the partners of the Fios da Fazenda (Rio Grande do Sul) brand and then sewn by the FA team. The slippers in Taboa were made by the Association of Women Artisans of Guapiara Arte Vida and finished with patchwork of the fabrics used in the show.

The colors and dyeing were created in copper cauldrons from simple materials, leftover food – onion husks, avocado seed, black rice broth and beans, Creole corn straw, catuaba – to recreate the tones of the sky.

“Mother earth smiles and celebrates the care and love of wise women who come from time to time to rescue ancestral teachings, combined with the techniques of the future, print, document, and announce a new time.”

“This film is a utopian daydream in dystopian times. A sensory and timeless outlook at the life that passes through us. The camera stands like the air: floats, levels, runs. It records the body, skin, tissue of these women who inhabit our clothes,” completes  Flavia Aranha.
