A vibrant reinterpretation of Brazil’s arid lands with a contemporary twist.

Drawing from the rich culture of Bahia, Dendezeiro infuses fresh, dynamic energy into the runway with its latest collection, “Brasiliano: Filhos do Sol.” Inspired by the rugged landscapes of the northeastern sertão, the brand reimagines traditional elements through a modern, bold lens.

Set to a soundtrack that blends northeastern rhythms with the upbeat pulse of funk, the show featured sun-bronzed models confidently striding down the runway. Materials like beads, leather, straw, and denim took center stage, reworked into innovative silhouettes. Loose-fitting garments with structured, geometric cutouts and layered skirts over pants added to the eclectic feel, perfectly capturing Dendezeiro’s contemporary style.

In collaboration with Suvinil, the collection prominently featured earthy tones, poised to lead next year’s color trends. Monochrome pieces, such as a vivid orange set, also made a striking statement.
