TROPICAL MODERNISM - SS26
The spirit of Brazil through a mid-century modern lens,
merging the optimism of the 1960s and the futuristic allure
of the Space Age with the raw strength of Brutalism.
Inspired by the sinuous lines of Oscar Niemeyer and the
sunlit elegance of Rio’s golden era,
the collection blends fluid,
organic shapes with sharp architectural tailoring.
