AZ Marias, the celebrated Brazilian fashion house, has concluded its participation in São Paulo Fashion Week (SPFW) with the final chapter of its ‘Florescer’ collection, aptly titled ‘Éter.’ This evocative collection marks the culmination of a journey that began with the concept of ‘blooming,’ a theme deeply rooted in the organic beauty of nature.
‘Éter,’ the fifth act of ‘Florescer,’ transcends the physical realm to embrace the ethereal. It draws inspiration not only from the essence of nature but also from the Yoruba deity Ori, who symbolizes the ‘head’ and reigns over emotions within African-derived religions. The collection’s futuristic elements are a nod to the iconic 1997 film ‘The Fifth Element,’ with its signature cut-out designs, masterfully crafted by Jean Paul Gaultier.
This final chapter of ‘Florescer’ is a testament to AZ Marias’ dedication to innovation and artistic expression. The collection’s ethereal quality, coupled with its intriguing references to both spiritual and cinematic realms, promises to leave a lasting impression on the fashion world.
While AZ Marias bids farewell to SPFW for now, it’s clear that their creative journey continues to flourish. The future holds exciting possibilities for this influential fashion house, as they continue to explore the intersection of nature, spirituality, and cutting-edge design.
