Paris receives three Brazilian brands for fashion fair
One of the most traditional fashion fairs in Europe, Who’s Next Paris takes place from January 21st to 23rd at Porte de Versailles, Paris (France) and will feature exhibitions by Brazilian brands Cecilia Prado, Melissa and Rio de Sol, representing ABEST (Associação Brasileira de Estilistas), Abicalçados (Brazilian Association of Footwear Industries) and TexBrasil (Program for the Internationalization of the Brazilian Textile and Fashion Industry) with the support of ApexBrasil (Brazilian Agency for the Promotion of Exports and Investments).
The event focuses on hot topics in the fashion world: sustainability, lifestyle, trends, beauty and networking. Our brands promoted in this edition bring all this with a Brazilian touch. Cecilia Prado had its last socio-environmental impact project in 2021, when it launched a collection of shawls and ponchos reusing textile materials that would otherwise be discarded from the factory itself.
Melissa makes vegan and recyclable shoes, in addition to always being present in the biggest trends of recent years. Rio de Sol is also an eco-friendly and sustainable brand, making timeless and durable beachwear.
