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.”

“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.”

Terra de Gigantes reveals the knowledge and practices of the masters of Ceará’s culture.

On Wednesday, June 23rd, Ronaldo Fraga opened the 51st edition of São Paulo Fashion Week, via streaming, and presented the Terra de Gigantes collection.

The collection expresses the culture of the Cariri region in Ceará, from where Ronaldo inherited the playful innocence of master craftsmen such as Espedito Seleiro and Françuli. The collection is more than just fashion, it is an affectionate record of the cultural resistance of the Brazilian people.

“In Terra de Gigantes, I convey the typical miscegenation of the region, of the children who are the fruit of the most varied mixtures: Kariri Indians, slaves, Africans of Muslim origin, new Christians and Jews who were fleeing the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions. This mixture is also the basis of all Brazilian people,” says the stylist.

The new collection features a single 100% linen fabric base, a lot of embroidery and a few prints, as well as an explosion of colors to represent the multicolored Cariri region in Ceará.

The result of the work developed by Ronaldo Fraga along with the students and professionals of Senac Ceará, the collection Terra de Gigantes portrays the Organic Museums and the Masters of the Cariri culture, strengthening the authorial fashion and the region’s cultural aspects.

“The Organic Museums launched in 2018, a project developed by Sesc Ceará in partnership with the Casa Grande Foundation, allows for direct contact with the master himself, his traditions, family and stories. The houses and workshops of the artisans are open to the public, displaying memories, affections, photographs, clothing, objects and everything that permeates the daily lives of those who transmit popular knowledge in the most diverse forms of art.”

You can watch the entire fashion show on SPFW’s Youtube channel.

“I’m inviting people to dive in the Cariri region with me. I often say that if the Northeastern part of the country is the great amalgam of Brazilian culture, then Cariri is the epicenter,” says @fragaronaldo about his collection that opens the 51st fashion week of São Paulo, which the model @suyane.moreira_  wears in the photos above. A deep lover of Brazil, Ronaldo found the inspiration to create his linen pieces in the colors of the region’s popular culture. Blends such as blue and red, and green and turquoise take the place of the brand’s characteristic prints. “For me, there is no other place with such a sophisticated relationship with tones of color. That’s what I wanted to explore,” he says. The political message, always present in his creations, was not left out in this collection. “During this time that we’re living in, with the country under rubble, the only door that can save us to reinvent this place is culture,” he adds.

Terra de Gigantes titles the show of @fragaronaldo, which opens the #SPFWN51. Poetic and political as usual, this new collection is part of the roots and Northeastern ancestry of the Cariri people, which unites devotion to Father Cicero, the dryness of the barren land and the traditional artisan manufacturer of the region of Juazeiro do Norte. Suyane Moreira, actress and former model from Ceará, completes the exciting video walking through the streets of colorful houses that inspire the bright variety of colors of the linen pieces. Loose dresses and garments create a counterpoint to the use of hot pants with chastity belts. The duality between sensuality – freedom – and imprisonment becomes the script that permeates the aesthetic construction of the decorations and embroidery in the pieces. The faith and strength of the Northeastern people inspires us, bringing us back into the present. After all, in chaotic times like these, the communion, celebration and human warmth have never been so important. With the mastery of geniuses such as Ronaldo, the presentation ends with a black tunic, the cassock of Padim Ciço, or the mourning over more than 500,000 lost lives. (Photos: Augusto Pessoa)

The designer @fragaronaldo went to the Cariri region to create the collection Terra de Gigantes, which opened the N51 season of @spfw. He brought the playful innocence of master craftsmen, such as Espedito Seleiro and Françuli, translated into linen pieces with a lot of embroidery and an explosion of colors. More than fashion, the collection is an affectionate record of the cultural resistance of the Brazilian people.
