Social integration, income generation, ecological diversity and renewable natural resources. Add all that to new clothing forms, seeking to escape an “esthetic dictatorship” (as stylist Jerfferson Kulig calls it). And there you have it. That is Kulig's new summer collection.
In other words, it may not look very comfortable, but the stylist used a rustic fabric found in the tropical forests (like the Amazon), called tururi – extracted by the Mãe da Mata do Pará NGO – for the blouses that appear in different forms and volumes using the moulage technique.
In the second part of the fashion show, ropes attached to the jersey dress skirts provide an interesting effect to the print, although it looks a little heavy. Finally, the skirts' super-structured and organic constructions have embroidery hollowed out by lasers. Fabrics: rubber, taffeta, jersey, cotton, gazar and tururi fiber. Colors: black, white, ice, beige, gold, cement and navy.
