Misci parade, designer Airon Martins’ brand, is featured in SPFW edition 54

The “Jerimum” collection by Misci, brand by stylist Airon Martins, had Sala São Paulo at the Julio Prestes Cultural Center on the 17th of November as its catwalk. The use of Brazilian petroleum abroad is the concept and the idea is to rescue this material and the creative minds of our country. Emphasizing earthy and blue tones, pieces in leather, jeans and silk were presented. The brand’s models, such as Giovanna Ewbank and Enzo Celulari, walked the runway with a gas-gallon bag, transparency and prints.

Exhaling Brazilianness (not only in aesthetics), in the center of the room where the models paraded, there was a cellist accompanying the tecnobrega music that echoed from the speakers.

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.

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.”

The initiative elected 8 racialized brands for the official calendar ofSão Paulo Fashion Week

Sankofa is a co-authorship of the Pretos na Moda movement and the social innovation startup VAMO (Vetro Afro-Indigenous in fashion), which supports racialized entrepreneurs in Brazilian fashion.

Creators

Pretos na Moda is a communication platform that promotes agendas and discussions on racial awareness and inclusion of racialized professionals in the Brazilian fashion market.

VAMO (Vetro Afro-Indigenous in fashion) is a social innovation startup of interracial professionals that develops a reparatory process in national fashion for blacks and indigenous people.

The project

The initiative aims to promote inclusion in Brazilian fashion and give visibility and support to racialized entrepreneurs in three editions of SPFW.

The Sankofa project presented eight emerging brands outside the current runway circuit at São Paulo Fashion Week N51.

Brands are monitored in order to enter the market and to create the official line up of the event in a structured way. The process has the professional support of a team (psychologists, lawyers, accountants) and eight godmother brands – prominent companies in the São Paulo Fashion Week lineup.

Eight new selected brands and their respective godmother brands

Ateliê Mão de Mãe (Gustavo Silvestre, Ponto Firme Project)

Az Marias (Isaac Silva)

Meninos Rei (João Pimenta)

Mile Lab (Juliana Jabour)

Naya Violeta (Apartamento 03)

Santa Resistência (Angela Brito)

Silvério (Vitorino Campos)

Ta Studios (Patricia Viera)

In the first edition (June 2021), the brands presented a fashion film and a photographic essay of the creation process in a fully digital form on the SPFW platform and the event’s digital channels.

“It’s more of a school than a stage for an exhibition,” says Natasha Soares, co-founder of the Pretos na Moda Collective, for Vogue Brasil.

“How to bring Brazil closer to design, innovation, technology, aligned with Brazilian talent, vocation, and diversity? IN-MOD’s efforts are aimed at provoking this discussion and developing actions that propose different paths as an answer,” says Graça Cabral, member of the IN-MOD council.

IN-MOD, the National Institute of Fashion and Design created in 2004, is a non-governmental, non-profit organization whose mission and vision is to work in domestic and foreign markets, and to gain recognition and visibility of Brazilian fashion and design as value-added segments.

Diversity in fashion: industry voices around the world

“The runways in our country need to be a reflection of what is seen on our sidewalks. It is very important that different colors, bodies, and ethnicities are seen in a space that discusses beauty and elegance”, Emicida.

McKinsey & Company featured stories from fashion students, emerging designers and industry leaders about their experiences in US fashion – and their ideas for creating more inclusive workplaces – for the State of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Fashion report, from February 2021 done by PVH Corp. and the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). It also surveyed over 1,000 employees at 41 companies, conducted 20 stakeholder interviews and three focus groups with students and emerging designers.

The company also interviews two of the report’s key stakeholders: CaSandra Diggs, president of the CFDA and Lance LaVergne, director of diversity at PVH. They shared insights into areas of opportunity – including awareness, access, and belonging – and actions that organizations and individuals can take to create a more diverse fashion industry.

“Fashion is a vibrant and exciting industry that employs over a million people in the United States and attracts many aspiring designers and professionals. However, certain groups of talented individuals – blacks in particular – struggle to break into the industry, and those who do make it don’t always feel welcome. Substantial under-representation of diverse talent starts at fashion schools and internships and continues at all levels to the highest echelons of influence and leadership”, McKinsey & Company.
