The visit of Brazil’s First Lady, Rosangela Lula da Silva, to Janja, Paris, proved that clothes really do have the power to convey a message. The look chosen by President Lula’s wife contained the colors of Brazil without being predictable. Yellow was not on the menu, but blue, green and white were present, in addition to pieces that enhance national brands.
With prices ranging from R$ 3,000 to just over R$ 7,400, the dresses chosen by Janja to represent Paris in the French capital are made of silk, a thread of which Brazil is the only silk producing country in the West and is considered one of the best in the world. In addition, one of them also brought a work by the artist Leonilson, who died at the age of 36, in 1993, due to complications from HIV/Aids.

On social media, opinions about Janja’s look were divided, many of them politically motivated, especially against her. Well, she proved that Brazilian colors, artists and creators are great references in official engagements, without getting carried away by unnecessary chauvinism. Discover the details of each look and draw your own conclusion.
GREEN

The green shirt dress, with geometric ball prints, is by Printing. Made of silk crepe, it has a slightly loose fit and ties with a waist detail. Priced at R$4,990, the piece is priced at R$2,994 on the brand’s website. The look was worn for a meeting at Casa Brasil, with the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo.
BLUE

At the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, Janja also chose a dress by Printing, priced at R$7,475, which was later put on sale for R$5,980, but is no longer available on the brand’s website. The blue piece is made of dobby silk, has a straight shape and features a gold embossed tourmaline print, developed by the brand. With kimono-style shaping, it features a sash that marks the waist.
BLUE AND WHITE

At the dinner hosted by the International Olympic Committee, on Thursday 25, at the Louvre Museum, where she represented President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), she wore a Mirage dress, by Neriage, made of silk and printed with the work “Luna e Sole” by the artist from Ceará José Leonilson. The piece is part of a collaboration between the brand, owned by Rafaella Caniello, and the Leonilson Project, an initiative of the artist’s sister, Ana Lenicia, which has existed since 1993, the year of the artist’s death. According to what Janja’s team told Vogue, the dress was chosen because she wanted to wear a work of art, given that the reception was held at the Louvre. The necklace worn by the first lady is designed by jewelry designer and goldsmith Flávia Madeira.
