If you want comfort, SPFW has it. If you want a hand job, SPFW has it. If you want colors, SPFW has them. If you want an urban and streetwear look, this is fine too. The shows on the third day of the 56th edition of São Paulo Fashion Week presented a mosaic of trends, which converge towards comfortable but well-made fashion, with high-level tailoring and techniques that harken back to manual work and upcycling.
All with a Brazilian flavour, with macramé, crochet, tapestries, mixed with light or heavy fabrics, different weights in the same garment, movements and applications that make the garment a unique piece. There is white, there is black, there is beige and there is grey, but there are also strong colours, like the blue proposed by the designer Luiz Cláudio; the red, yellow and blue-klein, by Weider Silveiro; yellow and other shades of Ronaldo Silvestre; the orange and blues of David Lee and more. Check out a summary of this Friday’s shows (10th).
Greg Joey
The Greg Joey brand opened the third day of SPFW fashion shows with looks inspired by the Sao Paulo scene, of people who live between the dazzling and the cruel of this metropolis. On the catwalk the actor Ícaro Silva and the veteran model Marina Dias. The result comes through simple tailoring in shades of off-white, beige, black, blue and white. The dry and hard palette is softened by the loose and comfortable models of dresses, trousers, shirts and tunics and by square-cut blouses and t-shirts in more noble fabrics. In fact, long t-shirts also appeared, some with prints of photos of the artist and photographer Camila Schubert, with images that dialogue with the pains and joys of life in São Paulo. Sneakers with dresses, jumpsuits and t-shirts took to the catwalk in a relaxed streetwear rhythm.
Apartment 03
Minas Gerais-based Apartamento 03, by designer Luiz Cláudio, created an ode to blue in the fashion show that saw trans MP Erika Hilton walk the catwalk, closing the presentation.
Waji blue, extracted from the pigment obtained from a long process of cultivation and seasoning of plants, originating from indigo, dyed the collection in various shades, mixed with whites and blacks. The looks, characterized by the designer’s excellence in cutting, finishing and manual techniques, were loose, pleated, with balloon shaping, one of the trends seen on the international catwalks, splashed with blue, monochromatic, with large and small colored pearls. The highlight are the tunics cut into strips, which transform into fringes, giving movement to the garment. There was also no shortage of sophisticated all-denim, which also came in looks with crystal applications, demonstrating that there are no limits to the exploration of indigo blue.
Ronaldo Silvestro
With skirts, tops and dresses full of volumes and prints, Ronaldo Silvestre paid homage to the singer Carmen Miranda, using tulle, 3D embroidery in relief and denim scraps, sewn together reminiscent of ribbed matelassé. The collection called “It’s about Brazil” also brings with it the colors of the country, enhancing the artisan work done by hand. It took more than a thousand hours of work to create the 20 looks presented, created mainly by members of the Instituto Igualdade, Transformação, Inovação Social (ITI), created and maintained by the designer since 2013, which serves more than 200 people in situations of social vulnerability. “Carmen Miranda showed the world that Brazil that has entered history. Many colors, casual accessories and platform sandals that marked the actress inspired me in this collection”, said the designer.
David Lee
Resin jeans, with a waxed effect, mixed with crochet work decorated with the tapestry technique. Designer David Lee proved that craftsmanship fits very well with comfortable and cheerful streetwear with his collection called Barlavento, a nautical dress that refers to the side from which the boat receives the wind. Waves and checkers appear in jeans and crafts. Highlights include woven crochet stripes, reminiscent of traditional satin ribbon work that transforms into checkered fabrics. David used it on blouses, coats and shorts.
Weider Silverio
Not everyone can create well-made tailored garments. And making tailored pieces in piqué knits is even more difficult, but Weider Silveiro isn’t shy about comfort, and presented a collection with a streamlined palette, featuring tan, beige and grey, including the three primary colors – red, yellow and blue – to give life to the collection, made to measure, but with five looks that will be produced and sold in partnership with the My Life brand. The designer also focuses on sophisticated craftsmanship, with tapestry workmanship and Richelieu embroidery, which are transformed into elegant and desirable lace. On your feet, sneakers, trendy footwear for the coming seasons. She proves that feminine looks can be bold and comfortable, without losing their essence.
STO
With a super production in the parade hall, with 18 cameras broadcasting live the details of the entire space on the large screens in the space. The Ceará brand, Giuliana Braide, presents clean and essential streetwear in tune with the desires of young citizens.

“Dendezeiro’s BRs2 collection at SPFW is a tribute to Brazilian street style.
Each piece has been carefully designed to explore the richness of Brazil’s streets
with detailed attention and refined sensitivity. We are
determined to popularize Brazil and its references, such as the acclaimed success
of his pieces with tapestries”, reveals Hisan Silva, Pedro Batalha’s partner. Young and light, the duo worked on the collection with tapestries, loose inserts applied on some pieces, such as the white trousers (central photo) and colors like blue and orange. To bring to the catwalk, the designers looked for icons of Brazilian everyday life, such as the clay filter, the patapata comb, the orange mirror, the blue and red rubber, the public telephone, which are transformed into accessories and are inspiration for the colors used.
