Brazil : Fire in forest by Marcelo Sommer

January 23, 2008

Marcelo Sommer is in charge of creative direction at Cavalera and at Do Estilista as well.

In the first, he made a protest fashion show along the banks of the Tietê.

But, in order to introduce the Do Estilista collection,
“Fire”, Sommer made a democratic party in the forest.

To the tune of Arnaldo Antunes, he transformed one of Ibirapuera Park’s boulevards into a catwalk.

The models emerged from the bushes with many overlays, a combination of fabric mixes (flannels, satin, moleton) and prints, like Marcelo likes it.

Plenty of plaid, which will be one of the winter’s hits, and orange and red checks, Lurex, stripes, graphic arts and diverse prints.

A multi-patterned and multi-colored collection translated into 30s-style straight, loose dresses, blazers, shirts, tight-fitting men’s suits, jeans with a low crotch and funneled legs.

Coats, suit coats and overcoats highlight the 90s. There is also a lingerie line that Sommer is launching.
