The AW17 collection is inspired by the extreme south brazilian state Rio Grande do Sul, one of the most beautiful places on the largest country of south america. Land of a mixture between italians, germans, portugueses, spanishes and local indigians, home of one of the biggest japaneses colonies outside japan. There, is also spoken forgotten polish dialects, some russian and the true old germanic language. The self called "gaúcho"people are obssessed with their origins, they have proud of their costumes and culture, they love to show to the world their dances, food and the famous hot tea called "chimarrão" that is served inside a giant piece of oval wood and drank in groups. The clothes are very similar to the mexico style, big dresses with ruffles everywhere, leather pieces, and a very fine handmade artcraft called "favo" is the main part of their vestment, is maid on the fabric with only needle and thread, imitating honeycombs.
