The fashion story runs 17 pages with a focus on 34 Brazilian brands that elevate natural fashion. We shouldn’t assume that ‘natural fashion’ is sustainably-made fashion.
Rather, natural fashion reflects the Brazilian pov or “attitude, celebrating identity, colors and values with materials, fabrics and volumes that elevate national fashion to the ultimate power.“ That’s a good word salad, but Brazil — just like America — is today a deeply divided country.
It absolutely inspiring to see straw and raffia materials combined with other ‘natural’ materials that reflect the country’s diversity. The images are strong and engaging.
