In the final episode in our Brazil series, Eve Jackson takes viewers to São Paulo, Brazil's fashion capital, where designers are revolutionising the industry through sustainability and cultural representation. "Fashion with a conscience" examines how Brazilian fashion is evolving beyond the spectacular costumes of Carnival to address pressing environmental concerns and celebrate the country's diverse heritage.
To mark the France-Brazil 2025 season, which takes place in France from April to September, and the 200th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, FRANCE 24's cultural magazine arts24 brings you a three-part series exploring how Brazil's creative forces are shaping national identity and driving social change through music, film and fashion.
This third and final episode follows groundbreaking Indigenous model Zaya Guarani, who has risen from her Amazon roots to the cover of Vogue, using her platform to champion environmental protection and Indigenous rights from her base in Paris.
Also featured is innovative designer Airon Martin, whose brand Misci fuses eco-conscious practices with distinctly Brazilian aesthetics. With the Amazon rainforest under increasing threat, this timely exploration shows how Brazil's fashion industry is confronting its environmental impact while embracing the country's rich cultural diversity.
