Ronaldo Fraga pays a beautiful and unexpected tribute to Milton Nascimento

Ronaldo Fraga It’s never obvious. Upon her return to SPFW, in her first live show after the pandemic, she presented the “Minas Nascimento” collection, in honor of singer Milton Nascimento. The Portuguese Language Museum, in Estação da Luz, was the chosen location.

“Before being note, melody and lyrics, Milton is earth, sky and mountain,” the Minas Gerais designer wrote in promotional material. So, with a soundtrack of Milton’s songs, but sung in a personal and sensitive way by other artists, the presentation took place like a procession.

The procession, with its looks tinged with mottled brown, represents the soil, the land and the singer’s love for his Minas Gerais.

The blue of the sky came in dark tones, in dresses with bird embroidery.

In fact, the embroidery, the crochet, the construction of pieces made from pieces of fabric brought with them the essence of Ronaldo.

Linens, taffeta and jeans were not evident, in loose models, in patchwork with crochet and fabrics, with fraying and prints that reproduced album covers, like the iconic photos of the two boys from the Clube de Esquina album. Trem Azul, Ponta de Areia and other songs were represented in the outfits and soundtrack.

In this procession woven with crochet, embroidery, threads and needles, pilgrims exchanged candles for lamps placed on their heads in the shape of the mountains of Minas Gerais. From a clipping of Milton’s childhood, children appear as angels and as a religious reference. It was a beautiful and sensitive tribute to the singer, who was diagnosed with dementia.
