See All the Fashion Shows from the Third Day
Patricia Viera opened the third day of São Paulo Fashion Week N57. Inspired by the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Peru, the Brazilian designer presented fringes, leather, and monochromatic looks reminiscent of the trendy cowboy aesthetic that Pharrell Williams showcased in Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2024 menswear collection, which Beyoncé is also promoting with her brand-new album.
The main colors of the Summer 2024 collection are mustard yellow, tomato red, avocado green, butter yellow, and chocolate brown.
To cater to different styles, Patricia Viera also includes pieces such as tube dresses with long boots, chemises with square medium heels, long dresses, shirts, shorts, and pants in her collection.
SPFW N57 marks the debut of Fauve at the event. Named “Prelúdio” (or Prelude, in free translation), the designer Clara Pasqualini told the story of beginnings and models walking slowly, as it was in the tailors’ ateliers decades ago.
Fauve balanced the weights through lightweight tule dresses, stiffer plushes, and accessories made out of porcelain and wood.
Renata Buzzo presented a collection inspired by three poems she wrote herself. Before the show started, she presented a 10-minute fashion film about a tale featuring a fox (representing women) and a pig (representing society).
The “Fideminus” collection featured forest-inspired clothes with appliqués simulating ivy and drawings of leaves on jacquard.
On the runway, a scene of enchantment came to life with the presence of flowers delicately intertwined in long ribbons that adorned a pelerine. As brides appeared, dressed in white, their attire evoked an aura of fairy tales from bygone eras, combining plush and tulle in harmony.
The velvet dresses transported us to a world of magic and romance, even though all the models wore black hair wigs, creating a fascinating contrast between the ancient and the contemporary.
Renata is vegan and only uses synthetic materials. She donates 10% of her profits to animal causes.
AZ Marias also presented their new collection on the third day of SPFW N57. Called “Florescer – Ato IV: Ar,” or “Blossom – Act IV: Air” in English, the 25 looks are inspired by the butterfly tale of Oyá, the lady of the winds, and by maternal relationships.
The outfits represent the breeze, the cloud, and the smoke with denim pieces made out of hemp, as well as fluid and transparent clothing in clear and soft tones.

Fashion designers Marina Bitu and her partner Cecília Baima drew inspiration from the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of the Cariri region in Ceará, Brazil, for the Marina Bitu brand collection showcased at SPFW N57. Their exploration delved deeply into the roots of local design and textile traditions.
The collection pays homage to the region’s diverse influences, including the vibrant hues of nature, the rich cultural heritage of indigenous peoples, and the intricate craftsmanship passed down through generations.
Incorporating innovative techniques, such as dyeing with pomegranate peel on delicate linen, creating oversized fabric flowers, and crafting micro sequins from bioplastic, the designers artfully reference the unique elements found in the Cariri landscape, from limestone formations to indigenous flora and fauna.
Collaborating with artist Paula Siebra, the collection features hand-painted prints capturing the breathtaking sunrise over Chapada de Araripe, which adorn luxurious organzas and silk satins. These prints serve as the backdrop for meticulously crafted crochet designs, and banana fiber blended seamlessly with cotton, adding an eco-conscious touch to the collection’s textures and fringes.
Rafael Silvério commemorates the milestone of his brand’s 10th anniversary with a collection that contemplates themes of reminiscence and maturation following the passing of his grandmother. Drawing inspiration from Ingmar Bergman’s cinematic masterpiece “Wild Strawberries” and Kant’s concept of the sublime, Silvério unveils a ceremonial ensemble tailored specifically for the LGBTQ+ community. This collection showcases unique features such as angular cuts, gracefully draped textiles, and intricately spiraled tailoring.
Silvério introduces a range of imaginative fabrics in a palette that includes denim blue, classic black, pristine white, warm camel, deep navy, and delicate pink hues. He utilizes materials like twill and papered cotton, complemented by bamboo fiber for shirting, achieving a harmonious blend of relaxed comfort and refined construction.
The collection further embraces artistic expression through T-shirts adorned with imagery of black musical instruments, as well as a striking brooch that seamlessly blends elements of 1980s hip-hop culture with the symbolic F key.
Célio Dias presents the “Beautiful Ball” collection at the 57th edition of SPFW, exploring the theme of love in a more positive light, focusing on healthy and secure exchanges. Brazilian top model Barbara Fialho opens the runway show wearing a denim suit, followed by denim pieces adorned with details like painted hearts or cutout designs, as well as white shirting and plaid flannel shirts.
Red is highlighted in matelassé pieces. The collection features monochromatic looks, especially in pink, starting with an urban and commercial approach and evolving into more elaborate evening proposals, including vinyl pieces, fire prints, and tie-dye. Highlights include silver sequin dresses and crochet mesh with fringe and hoods, expressing sensuality as another form of love.
