Brás do Mundo Collection

The concept of automoulage was built on the work 'Parque Industrial' by Patrícia Galvão, which she calls: a novel of the proletariat. In her lines, she brings the unromantic reality of women working in a weaving industry in Brás (São Paulo - SP) into question, questioning working environments, the exploitation of the workforce, the sexualisation of Brazilian women's bodies and, above all, capital and its struggle to restructure in order to maintain itself. To build a feminist fashion, highlighting the contradictions present in the structure of the fashion industry and charting new paths for design through a historical materialist and feminist lens. The work, which has not been so widely explored, raises historical concerns that have gone unnoticed in fashion debates for years and now have room to be debated. And this will be the inspiration for the 'Brás do mundo' collection, which was built in the midst of the proposal of anti-design and automoulage, to be art, a manifesto, resistance and a Marxist feminist cry within our industry.
