Bold aesthetics and rebellious vibes dominate Another Place’s triumphant return to São Paulo Fashion Week.

“We are what we are. There’s no other way.” This is how the brand defines itself in its official communication. And, indeed, the persona of Another Place could only be true to itself.

After a two-year hiatus, the brand made its return to São Paulo Fashion Week with the “Hardy” collection, a tribute to São Paulo’s underground nightlife, raves in abandoned warehouses, and the pulsating energy of techno music.

Beginning with monochromatic black outfits and transitioning into denim pieces — ranging from classic blues to warmer shades like orange and red — the show maintained a sultry and rebellious flair throughout. Yet, the pieces remained accessible to their core audience, young and trend-conscious, while featuring innovative touches like washed denims, abstract prints, and avant-garde styling.

With bold accessories, daring cutouts, tulle transparency, and spikes giving the collection a punk edge, the runway show felt like an actual rave party.
