Crossing cultures in the Era of Globalization
[fashion as a challenging meeting point]

Who is Ronaldo Fraga?
• Cotton: Brazilian native plant, absorbent to sweat. It doesn’t produce static energy; it’s wash resistant; it has good “textile memory” and it has good dye retention.
• Natural pigmentation: basic shades extracted from minerals, plants and insects.
How to re-signify a Brazilian tradition
• Miyake quotation: dyes exposed to light modify colors with use producing an “induced defect”.
• Yamamoto quotation: human interference in moulage shaping makes molding never the same.
The fabric as a helper of clothes “under construction”
• The dress shape loads a nostalgic character – 60’s
housewives.
• Delicate lace finishings in pockets: anonimous
dressmakers.
• Topology which privileges cloth dropping without
movement restrictions: consumer needs.
•Continuous effort to make sense.
Thank you!
