Inspired by Milan, architecture and craftsmanship, the new collection reaffirms fashion as a process and continuity
GRAZIE was born as a silent manifesto. In the AW26 collection, CRIS BARROS transforms gratitude into a creative gesture and reaffirms fashion as a continuous construction, where past, present and future coexist.
Inspired by the years spent in Milan, Cris Barros translates references from architecture, interiors and modern rigor into pieces that value structure, intention and time. The collection is based on the idea that to innovate is not to break, but to build with respect for what already exists.
The silhouettes are brought closer to the body through transparencies, precise cutouts and controlled volumes, creating a game between revealing and protecting. Tailoring appears in a sensory way, with apparent seams and finishes that expose the reasoning behind each piece.
The maximalist character appears in the dialogue between prints, textures and patterns. Poá takes center stage in different scales and materials, while lace, tulle and textured surfaces expand the visual depth of the collection. Every detail reinforces the notion of fashion as a process, not as an immediate product.
At GRAZIE, fashion behaves like architecture: designed with intention, built in layers and designed to last. A gesture of gratitude that looks to the past to project the future.
