North Brazil

                         





              Many stylists were and are inspired by the colorful, texture and nature that the north Brazil offers. There is a typically Brazilian fashion? The question is useless, and probably unanswerable in an era where information traverse the globe with hyperspeed and everybody knows what everybody is doing. Not to mention that the adverb "typically" evokes calico, trinkets, ribbons, lace and other rustic truisms. It is the fashion folk "country of parrots" - that all creators want distance. Given these premises, assuming that there is one, no pun intended, the common cultural background, an intimacy with the natural light, color and exuberance that are part of the national visual heritage. It is these collective sources that feed a kind of tropicalismo revisited today brings a handful of designers. Sources, trajectories and different interests, they have in common a kind of modern Brazilianness, savvy and, yes, global.
