Day 6: SPFW shifts from haute couture to funk as an act of resistance

The sixth day of the 60th edition of SPFW it started with Herchcovitch’s 44 haute couture looks, at Praça das Artes, in downtown São Paulo. Then he went to the Pavilhão das Culturas Brasileiras, in Ibirapuera, among a nice crowd.




With cascading delays, the last show of the day took place at the Academia Competition, in Jardins, around 11pm, with the UÓ brand, by Marcelo Sommer, on his return to the event after years.

In Ibirapuera, Rafael Caetano bet on plissé and pleating in his menswear show (actually agender) in honor of the poet Antonio Cícero. Then there were Cria Costura, Ateliê Mão de Mãe, Santa Resistência and Dendezeiro, who concluded the fashion shows at PACUBRA, to the sound of funk that evokes the Vagrancy Law, a fair against loose nerves, as a fiber to limit its cultural manifestations. The last three Ibirapuera fashion shows have shown that fashion is also resistance. See summary below.

It almost goes without saying Alexandre Herchcovitch it’s more than good. He is, in fact, a first-class couturier. Worthy of haute couture.

With 44 looks ranging from streetwear to party, the designer once again showed his strength with pieces made from nylon, palletized cotton twill, seersucker, leather, duchess satin, tricholine, taffeta, crepe and rubberized plastic.

Raffaele Caetano



Rafael Caetano at SPFW

The stylist Raffaele Caetano paid homage to the poet Antonio Cícero, who died in 2024. Brother of the singer Marina, he was responsible for many of the songs and lyrics she performed. “Fullgás”, the name of the album released in 1984, also gives its name to the collection.

Raffaele Caetano makes menswear fluid. Watching the fashion show and looking at the rich pleat work on the trousers, shirts and sleeves, you can see that the pieces can be worn by people of all genders. A set of green trousers with pleated legs and halter top, in lightweight fabric, looks good on everyone.

Mother’s hand workshop



Mother's hand workshop

THE Mother’s hand workshop She once again showed off her luxurious crochet at SPFW. It was inspired by the Tropicalismo Movement, born in Bahia, with names such as Caetano Veloso, as well as being represented by Gal Costa and Maria Bethânia and other exponents of the music of Bahia and all of Brazil.

And the tropical air of the collection came from the first look: a red dress with asymmetrical ruffles, which leave one side longer. Then orange and again red, as worn by the model Amira Pinheiro, who in a moment of professionalism was left without a foot in the sandal and walked the runway barefoot.
