Four proposals that highlight different paths of contemporary creation.
Casa de Criadores N57 opened its programming at the São Paulo Cultural Center with a series of presentations that reveal the multiplicity of ongoing research in Brazilian fashion. The four brands that marked the beginning of the week demonstrate how contemporary creation is articulated through performance, training, textile reconstruction, and independent authoring practices.
Le Benites opened the edition with a performance choreographed by Cisne Negro Cia. de Dança, which takes up the designer's relationship with ballet. The performance served as a starting point for reading the collection, which explores a sporting aesthetic combined with the physicality of the movement. Hollow tank tops, tight jumpsuits, elastic shorts and t-shirts with muscular figures make up the series, while the already recognized upcycling work remains a highlight. This season, materials from the lingerie industry were incorporated into ribbed knit dresses, tops and compositions that reinforce the brand's sensual identity.
The Nude Total collection, developed by students from the Bachelor of Fashion Design at Senac São Paulo, proposes a reflection on the multiplicity of Brazilian leathers. The 28 looks presented investigate tones, textures and structures through a repertoire that expands the traditional notion of nude. The project was guided by Senac professors, creative advice from João Pimenta and the support of the Sou de Algodón movement in the collection of fabrics. The presentation highlights the institution's role in training new creators and in strengthening professional paths that combine technique, research and social responsibility.
Marlo Studio presented the Intimate Dive collection, the result of a collaborative process with Senac Moda. The proposal investigates upcycling as an aesthetic and methodological tool, with textile manipulations that tension surfaces and volumes. Under the creative direction of Márcio Lopes, the collection marks a moment of transition for the brand and points to new construction possibilities within the Casa de Criadores, especially in the dialogue between sustainability and visual language.
In her first appearance at the CdC, Creations Lil presented the Undergrounders collection, which values independent production carried out on the sidelines through radical upcycling and manual craftsmanship. The work of the stylist Marcelo Mariani features pieces built from extreme recycling and visible seams, creating an aesthetic that combines urgency, identity and experimentation. The premiere reinforces the event's capacity to reveal new voices and to expand the repertoire of narratives within authorial fashion.
Together, the four presentations form a clear excerpt of the moment: Brazilian creation remains diverse, restless and in constant renewal. CdC57 only confirms this.
