São Paulo Fashion Week: It’s all about reuse and diversity

São Paulo - The 48th edition of São Paulo Fashion Week, which closed on 18 October, took place at the Brazilian Cultures Pavilion, in Ibirapuera Park. Looking back, we can conclude that many brands presented a similar idea: more sustainable fashion, supported by the upcycling of materials. At the same time, more attention was paid to ethnic and physical diversity: many ‘real people’ participated on the catwalk and for the first time a transgender man, the Brazilian, Sam Porto, walked the runway during the event. Accessibility also had a say: in a partnership with the city of São Paulo, through SMPED - Municipal Secretariat of People with Disabilities - São Paulo Fashion Week provided an audio description of the Greenhouse Project presentations for the visually impaired.
