project investigates the identity of
Brazilian fashion, rescuing essence
focusing in our culture.
We invite you for a reflection on the
identity in the current Brazilian
fashion, especially in cultural manifestations of our people and the
richness of our handicrafts, such as
embroidery and crochet.
With cuts, prints and unique embroidery, Vanuza Barbara has always imprinted her pieces, plus a
combination of colors and shapes
marking their identity and the region they live. This time she will not
be alone : to foster the setting of regional fashion, the designer joined
the Group of Women Embroiderers
Making Art Ipatinga, a cooperative
of women who see embroidery as a
new way of life .
