54th edition of the festival will have a parade of 6 brands associated with ABEST on November 17th, 18th and 19th

The biggest and most awaited fashion event in Brazil takes place from the 16th to the 20th of November. The 54th edition of São Paulo Fashion Week presents a record of in-person fashion shows, this time there will be 50 shows. Among them, six associated ABEST brands: Misci, Lilly Sarti, DEPEDRO, Neriage, Lenny Niemeyer and Triya.

The festival brings – in addition to the iconic parades – attractions such as interactive installations, pocket shows, scenography content, exhibitions and much more. Curated by Carollina Laureano, Komplexo Tempo’s street will be transformed into an open-air gallery due to the collectives of artists who will perform there. In addition to these novelties, another unprecedented fact is that for the first time in the history of the event, SPFW opens ticket sales to the public.

The opening parade of the second day of the event on Thursday (17) is by Misci at 10:30 am, the next one is by Lilly Sarti at 12:30 pm. Later, the last ABEST associate to parade is the DEPEDRO brand at 4pm.

The next day (18), Triya parades at 12pm and on Saturday (19) Neriage will be on the catwalk at 12:30. Closing the parades on the same day, Lenny Niemeyer performs at 9:30 pm.

A new space created at Shopping Iguatemi (Av. Brg. Faria Lima, 2232 – Jardim Paulistano) will bring together a fashion show room and the entire online broadcast of the event, with a studio area dedicated to content production. The other hub will be at Komplexo Tempo (511 Henry Ford Avenue), which will now have two showrooms, exhibitions, lounges and a large press room.

“Luxury brands are evolving, more than 75% of the top 50 global luxury players are now using eco-friendly materials, while 75% are looking to reduce packaging, use more renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions”, WGSN.

In recent years the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects of business have received increasing attention and companies have been pressured by legal, regulatory, consumer, and employee measures to use their values and culture to drive an ESG agenda.

“While it is tempting to view these three ideas separately and seek clear definitions, in reality these concepts often work together, with social issues at the center of the agenda. For example, is health and safety a governance concern because a company is required to meet certain obligations? Is it an environmental issue because an unsafe environment is likely to translate directly into a poor health and safety record? Or is it actually a social issue, since companies have an overall role that is to ensure employees, customers, and society at large are not harmed by their operations?” Drapers.

Companies promote their success, but in doing so, they must consider the interests, views, and concerns of all the parties involved – employees, suppliers, customers, shareholders, and the wider community at large.

The fashion world seems to feature prominently in one área of ESG: diversity and inclusion.

“For example, the FT Diversity Leaders survey that evaluated the views of over 100,000 employees regarding their employers´efforts to promote various aspects of diversity, including gender, openness to all forms of sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, disability and age, found that the top two employers of 850 that were surveyed were Hermès and Giorgio Armani. The consumer-oriented companies outperformed professional services and the financial sector´s companies. Also, out of the top 100 employers, seven were fashion brands,” Drapers.

The industry has also excelled in encouraging certain groups to thrive. However, the success of women and the LGBT Community in fashion can disguise a challenging journey for ethnic groups, older workers, those with disabilities, and people from socially disadvantaged backgrounds.

Yes, the fashion world is measuring, controlling, and proposing change but the challenges of employee activism, stakeholder’s voices, complex supply chains, and consumer opinion demand continued vigilance and a constant deepening of self-reflection. Creative thinking about how the industry can continue to move forward will be an essential driving force toward positive social change.

The collaborative platform Nordestesse promotes northeastern traditions and identity by curating products and experiences from the nine states that comprise the region. Brands such as Depredro, Catarina Mina, AM Brazil, and SAU are a part of this curatorship. Read more about the Nordestesse platform…

“Our production network is made up of seamstresses, embroiderers, lacemakers, and crocheters from the hinterlands and coast of the Rio Grande do Norte state, who apply ancestral knowledge and skills from their communities in handmade fashion items, generating social impact in the region and humanizing the processes of the production chain,” Marcus Figueiredo, creative director and CEO of the brand.

The slow fashion brand Depedro represents regionalism and praises the techniques of local communities: crochet, embroidery and traditional laces from the hinterlands.

“We believe in fashion that looks at peoples and their needs, considering that they have an impact on society. We prioritize the humanization of processes in our guidelines and we hope that these Practices reverberate in the world, transforming realities,” Marcus Figueiredo.

The major international movements of the fashion industry

“Changing fashion is not difficult. It is as simple as changing the way that we shop. Keeping clothes that already exist by passing from person to person. Keeping the stories, the culture, the value, the designs, in motion for as long as possible.” – Depop, fashion for a better future.

Depop, a popular website for selling second-hand and original clothing from emerging designers, promotes a global channel of connection in culture, design, and creative communities around the world.

The platform, a wholly owned subsidiary of Etsy – the global marketplace for unique and creative products – presents three main actions of its intensive two-year plan for a new fashion system:

●      Make Depop climate neutral by the end of 2021.“Because we are in a climate emergency and we want to do our part.”

●      Systematic preference for circular or responsibly made fashion for all brand collaborations. “Because we want to make better fashion options the first choice for everyone. And working with brands with similar visions will help us do this faster.”

●      Provide educational resources and mentorship opportunities to help entrepreneurs, creatives or small businesses from underrepresented groups grow their businesses sustainably. “Because it’s time to design a new fashion system. And we want it to reflect as many perspectives as possible.”

“Fashion is a global language – no matter where we are, our clothes always tell a story about who we are – and like language, fashion is constantly changing. It’s time to make this language more than it has been. To let go of what isn’t working and create something with more vibrance, more opportunities, more hope, more care–––something that reflects the way we want to value each other and our home.”

Three FLB brands participated in the SPFW 52nd Edition

São Paulo Fashion Week presented the 52nd edition in a hybrid format, 27 in-person shows and 24 fashion films, from November 16th to the 21st.

The event at the Brazilian Cultures Pavillion, at the Ibirapuera Park, promoted ABEST member brands: Ronaldo Fraga, Modem, Lilly Sarti, Misci, Neriage, Depedro; the Lenny Niemeyer brand presented Lenny Niemeyer 30 years old at Caminho Niemeyer, in Rio de Janeiro; and associate Manolita developed four new models for the Aluf brand fashion show.

Misci

“I SAW YOU AT FUXICO LANCHES. It was another world inside. There were people from all over the country. The same shapes, the same colors. There was even a gringo speaking Portuguese and dancing forró after two and a half Heinekens.”

Misci presented the 22 FUXICO LANCHES winter collection at the brand’s first physical fashion show.

“We have seasoned mayonnaise

A dive into a pictorial context and setting that is part of the Brazilian’s daily life, the lanchonetes.

These highly subdued spaces bring together the most diverse types – families, neighbors, and friends, that drunk person from the neighborhood…the list goes on. All of it in one space. These environments also give room to an atmosphere of sensuality and romance that is impacted by music and perfumes from the many people who pass by.

Each with its own personality, each with its unique spice.”

On Vogue’s website

“Misci, one of the great revelations of the national fashion scene and featured in the SPFW.”

“Misci, led my Airon Martin, is refreshing for the national fashion scene and held its first physical fashion show today. A die-hard fan of Brazil and all of its cultural nuances, he presented jacquards with cotton fringes, matelassé with the brand’s embossed logo and tailoring that was cut with the greatest precision and quality possible – all to the sound of Calcinha Preta and Bonde do Forró; Inspired by cafeterias in the countryside, such as those in Sinop, a city in the State of Mato Grosso, right on the edge of the BR-163 interstate highway where he was born, he once again used only local fabrics.”

On Glamour’s website

“With Sasha Meneghel opening and closing the show, Airon Martin’s brand took São Paulo Fashion Week to the bars and cafeterias by presenting a full collection of tailored sets and dresses that varied in length between midi and (very!) short pieces. It is worth highlighting two typically Brazilian fabrics that stood out in the collection: the patchwork and the fuxico.”

“Even if for many people the fashion world is restricted to a place of refinement that is far from everyday reality, for Misci, a cafeteria, or perhaps a bar, is the perfect space to dialogue with fashion. [..] A captivating presentation, with plastic chairs, a pool table, and a wall filled with beers, all of it in LED.”

On the SPFW’s website

“Misci, a design brand by Airon Martin, dives into the universe of cafeterias and bars in Brazil, and in its atmosphere of sensuality and romance, in order to launch the Fuxico Lanches collection.

Despite the theme, the soundtrack with classics of popular romantic music, and the backdrop with stacked plastic chairs, the clothes display clean shapes and geometric, architectural details.”

Depedro

The fashion film for the debut of the Depedro brand at the São Paulo Fashion Week represented the colorful and multicultural essence of the Northeast region of Brazil, through the INCELENÇA theme.

“Mysteries of life and death, sung by rural women, aligned with the meaning of the sun, courage, and endurance.”

Incelença is the result of work that involved many hands, looks, and presences. The collection was born with the purposes of multiplying the example and stories of women who inspire us. To bring the project to life, we called on a team of professionals who dove in headfirst and turned life and death into poetry.”

On Vogue’s website

“Marcus grew up watching his grandmother Francisca cultivate cotton, weave the yarn, and hand sew and embroider pieces at home. Later on, as an adult, he realized that many of the works he had followed during childhood were disappearing. “Four years ago, these techniques were only applied to bed, table, and bath products. As the added value was low, the artisans stopped executing and passing this knowledge on to the next generations.”

“So, he decided to create some pieces of clothing that incorporated these traditions. Demand was greater than he expected and, since then, he has remained firm with the purpose of training dressmakers and making a brand with social impact. Today, the label employs a network of 250 artisans spread across five cities in the northeastern sertão region.”

On the SPFW’s website

“On the eve of participating in the SPFW’s N52 edition, Marcus Figueirêdo, Depedro’s creative director, said in an interview that he was about to fulfill his greatest dream, ‘to bring art and fashion from Seridó, the sertão, and the state of Rio Grande do Norte, to the runways of the world.’ Incelença, a film that celebrates the strength of female artisans.

Items from the men’s wardrobe are bathed in religiosity, with prints of icons such as Nossa Senhora Aparecida and Jesus’ Heart. Crochet and precious lace from the region transform basics into luxury items. To the sound of violin and fiddle, a voice sings: “the hand that sews and heals, is the hand that brings the bread. In the other hand, prays the rosary, asking for protection.”

Lenny Niemeyer

Lenny Niemeyer presented a collection that revisits all of her creative production, with a futuristic look, to celebrate the brand’s 30 years.

“Our creative process regarding the prints was born out of an experimental shooting, where models dressed up in runway looks from my 30-year trajectory danced and were portrayed using light, shadow, and effects,” Lenny Niemeyer.

On Vogue’s website

“After five days of fashion shows in São Paulo, the N52 edition of the SPFW ends this Sunday, in the state of Rio, with the celebration of Lenny Niemeyer’s 30-year career at Caminho Niemeyer, in the city of Niterói. Seeking to take on a refreshing look at its history, the creative process was based on delving into archives and first producing an experimental shooting with the favorite pieces.”

On Glamour’s website

“Officially closing the SPFW N52 was Lenny Niemeyer, who celebrated 20 years as a brand in an emotional presentation at Caminho Niemeyer, in the city of Niterói. Alongside stylist Daniel Ueda, the label brought a beachwear style with classic characteristics of the brand, which now looks at its history in futuristic pieces and prints.”
