SPFW N60: Flavia Aranha

Flavia Aranha builds fashion the way someone listens to the earth. On her return to SPFW, the designer turns Parque Trianon into a territory of creation and manifesto. The forest is not a set: it is material, memory and technology. Each look carries a gesture of respect for natural time and a bet on the intelligence of ecosystems to design the future of fashion.

The show presents more than thirty pieces developed with biomaterials and natural dyes. Algae turned into fabric, Amazonian latex over silk, mycelium as an alternative to leather, Amazonian fibres and native seeds reveal a sophisticated material research, built from partnerships with communities and startups that share the vision of a regenerative future. The colours come from annatto, indigo, crajiru, red onion and bacterial dyes, translating the cycle of nature into textures that breathe.

The label, certified as a B Corp since 2016, carries more than a decade of research and positive impact. Flavia proposes a new paradigm of luxury: a living luxury, born of the relationship with the environment, which values local production chains and reinvents traditional systems through innovation. By joining ancestral processes and contemporary technologies, her work builds bridges between the knowledge of original peoples, authorial design and the possibilities of the future.

At Trianon, the bodies walk as extensions of the forest. The music, with the sound of bees and Indigenous song, reinforces the sensory experience. Each piece is a living organism, not an isolated product. The show reveals the strength of a fashion that does not limit itself to aesthetics, but acts as an agent of cultural, ecological and technological transformation.
