The new collection presented at Casa de Criadores reveals a more mature and sophisticated look, the result of years of dedication to technique and the construction of language.
Ale Brito returns to Casa de Criadores with a collection that marks not only his presence on the runway, but a new moment in his career as a Brazilian designer. A graduate of Central Saint Martins in London, Ale is one of the few national names to have passed through Alexander McQueen's studio, where he interned and then worked as a stylist. These experiences were decisive for the technical deepening of his vision, bringing a new understanding of part construction, cutting, modeling, and visual language.
The formation on the London circuit further enhanced the signature that Ale had already developed in Brazil since his early years. Launched by Casa de Criadores, the designer always overflowed a hybrid aesthetic between tailoring and urban language, and was recognized for stressing the sexy, reconstructing volumes and experimenting with pieces of immediate appeal and refined structure. Her collections circulated through editorials from the country's main fashion magazines, including Elle, Vogue, L'Officiel, Marie Claire, FFW MAG and i-D Magazine, in addition to wearing personalities such as Carol Trentini, Rita Lee and Anitta.
The new collection presented at Casa de Criadores reveals a more mature and sophisticated look, the result of years of dedication to technique and the construction of language. The partnership with Studio 115 enhances this moment, bringing to the runway pieces developed with precision tailoring and an imaginary repertoire based on references from the British Victorian era, such as structured corsets, metallic crinolines and puffy sleeves, reinterpreted in a free, contemporary and functional way. Long, flowing dresses do not seek to reinforce stereotypes, but rather to suggest freedom of movement and respect for body shapes in the present. Structured jackets, high-waisted pants, and shirts with geometric cutouts point to the strength of an authorial aesthetic built on solid foundations.
The creative proposal is based on recurring desires and images in the stylist's unconscious. Instead of following a closed theme, Ale uses the runway as a field of experimentation. The collection tests cuts, explores proportions and revisits the classic men's wardrobe (suit, shirt and pants) through an approach that values the fit and mobility of the pieces. The result is a balance between structure and fluidity, tradition and transgression, where tailoring shows itself not as a formality, but as a living language.
Ale Brito also accumulates experience in the commercial market. She worked for years on the Ellus style team, coordinating collections for retail, wholesale, import and e-commerce. He signed collaborations with C&A, Chili Beans and Riachuelo, and most recently he headed the style direction of Shop Ginger, Marina Ruy Barbosa's brand. Among his works, he has also developed costumes and editorials with brands and artists in branding, styling and creative consulting projects.
His return to the runway at this time is marked by a clear intention: to reconnect with fashion as a language, as an experiment, and as a proposition. Instead of following trends, Ale possibilities. His collection does not seek to please immediately, but to provoke, test proportions, challenge visual comfort and reveal his technical capacity in cuts, finishes and construction.
Alongside Studio 115, it also reinforces a political and social position. The partnership highlights the importance of valuing the national workforce, independent ateliers, and Brazilian seamstresses, modellers, and artisans. The work presented by Ale Brito is a position statement. A subtle but precise manifesto about what it means to fashion in Brazil today with ethics, sophistication and courage.
