The impression of home-grown Brazilian fashion, once solely synonymous with
revealing swimwear and beach style, is rapidly evolving to meet the challenges
presented from an influx of international high end designer labels.
Attracted by a booming local economy, global giants such as:
Chanel, Missioni, Prada, Burberry, Gucci, Diane Von Furstenberg
have flexed their brand muscle on the Brazilian shopping landscape.
This invasion has sparked a creative upsurge of local talent
who have become forces of reckoning.

Brazilian fashion design has generated tremendous enthusiasm.
With not one, but two Fashion Weeks:
Sao Paulo Fashion Week and Fashion Rio,
and with a core of diverse, distinctive, dynamic designers

the country’s high voltage fashion energy;
sizzling at home and abroad.

It was kooky, quirky, vibrant … wearable fashion fun.

At just 22 years old, Lourenco is one of the fashion world’s
young, gifted, emerging talents.
His collection is precision perfect:
clean, crisp, with an almost military exactitude.
The collection also has a geometric component of asymmetry.
Juxtaposed, he presented a few flirty shift dresses to contrast.
