Casa de Criadores 56: New voices and narratives in Brazilian fashion

‍

Rober Dognani

With his signature drama, Rober Dognani revisits family memories to build a theatrical parade, crossed by Victorian, Hispanic, and vampire references. Between velvets, ruffles and crinolines, the stylist maintains technical mastery and visual intensity, exploring collaborations and textures that expand his signature. The fashion show is a symbolic return to the Old Continent, combining personal history, artistic references and the dramaturgy that marks its trajectory.

Paganini House

In his debut at the Casa de Criadores, Guilherme Paganini presents “Roots”, a collection that combines construction rigor and ancient affection. Inspired by his family and the traditions of Espírito Santo, the designer brings lace fillet, biojewelry and handloom bags, blending architectural forms with materials with a strong symbolic meaning. With Japanese references and a palette that refers to Brazilian nature, the collection affirms a conscious approach and extended time, valuing manual labor as a political gesture.

Lucas Caslú

“Experiments” stems from an immersion in Lucas Caslú's own creative archive, where old sketches and past pieces meet in new combinations. The collection focuses on contrasts of texture and volume, combining light and structured fabrics, prints and handmade elements. Inspired by the urban daily life of Goiânia and by human relations, the fashion show reflects dressing as an expressive act, in which fashion dialogues with art to expand its potential for transformation.

Guilherme Dutra

In “Poupées”, Guilherme Dutra draws on the affective memories of his grandparents to create an encounter between the delicacy of femininity and the rigor of tailoring. Between lace, floral dresses and reinterpreted masculine structures, the collection is built as a ritual of memory. When moving between masculine and feminine, the designer reaffirms fashion as a territory of affection and reinvention, where heritage is transformed into a contemporary gesture.

Erico Valença

“Adiaû” marks the brand's signature transition and explores science-fiction narratives with a constructivist and minimalist perspective. The collection is based on a premise of imposed climatic discomfort, resulting in winter pieces for a warm planet. With geometric tailoring, handmade faux-leather and the use of technologies such as 3D and AI in the creative process, the show questions the relationship between fashion, technology and survival, without giving up the rigor of construction and sustainable production.

‍

Açu Platform

With “VO RO NÓI”, the Açu platform plunges into a biofuturist imaginary inspired by mycelium and the networks that support life. Between organic knitting, textile sculpture and 3D printing, the collection constructs shapeless and dreamlike shapes, rejecting the linearity of conventional fashion. It is a fusion between queer aesthetics, technology and nature, which proposes new imaginaries and embraces imperfection as a visual language.

Vittor Sinistra

“Climax” transforms the runway into an experimentation party. Vittor Sinistra creates looks for an imaginary cast of guests, with diverse techniques, waste reuse and strong manual presence. The collection expands the designer's playful and performative character, reaffirming fashion as a space for freedom, provocation, and identity construction.

Shitsurei

Marcella Maiumi presents “Unknown Object”, a critical commentary on the fetishization and non-belonging imposed on female yellow bodies. Inspired by sci-fi and the space age aesthetic of the 60s, the collection combines elements of its Japanese ancestry with references to space race and feminism, creating a dialogue between irony, discomfort and affirmation. Hand painting and handcrafted textile work reinforce the brand's authorial strength.

Jacobina

In “Mist”, Raphael Aquino constructs a tribute to black women whose memory has been silenced by official history. Layered fabrics, dark palette, and symbols such as lilies evoke delicacy and resistance, transforming erasure into presence. The collaboration with artist Lucélia Maciel adds visual layers of memory and affection, resulting in a fashion show that whispers and resists at the same time.
