The choice of location, the greatest symbol of Brazilian carnival, served not only as a backdrop, but as a platform for a discussion about Brazil as a territory of respite and reorganization of life. To outsiders, the country is a pause and a source of lightness; to those from here, the celebration is the structure that allows them to carry on despite everything.

By becoming the first fashion brand to stage a show on the avenue, the label transforms a suspended space into a field of cultural experimentation that merges fashion, architecture, and the vital pulse of Beija-Flor's drum section.

The design of the Summer 27 collection stems from a tension between perception and reality, revisiting the imaginary of 1970s Rio de Janeiro. The figure of Gal Costa, muse of Dunas do Barato, emerges as the driving force behind an aesthetic marked by freedom of expression and the encounter between inland landscapes and the mythical coastline. On the blue catwalk that evoked the sea horizon, the narrative took shape through a carnival-inspired tailoring that reinterprets blazers and suits with new proportions. The Airon Martin line incorporated silk into classic constructions, resulting in fluid and lightweight pieces that follow the inherent movement of the tropical climate.

A cartela de cores e a pesquisa material refletem um compromisso contínuo com o fazer manual e a inovação têxtil de baixo impacto. Tons de verde oliva, marrons terrosos e azuis saturados convivem com estampas inspiradas no cotidiano das praias cariocas e na vista aérea da cidade.

Um dos grandes destaques é o desenvolvimento de um couro vegetal feito de capim, que preserva as fibras e irregularidades naturais em uma superfície duradoura. Além disso, a marca ressignifica redes de pesca descartadas em tecidos e acessórios, reforçando a ideia de continuidade e transformação que atravessa cada gesto escultórico desta temporada.
