Karlla Girotto

Laura Eceiza, friend and fashion sociology teacher at the IED where I graduated in Fashion Design, is writing an atlas on contemporary fashion and every now and then she sends me news on how is going with the designers.
Not long ago she pointed out the work of Brazilian Karlla Girotto whose work is far from samba and color and very close to that of Rick Owens or Helmut Lang. Dark and poetic.
Karlla does art-fashion, a work that goes beyond design.


Karlla Girotto at Sao Paulo Fashion Week

Her website is pure eye candy ...





Karlla studied Fashion Design at the Faculdade Santa Marcelina in Sao Paulo and started her days designing costumes for the company of theater director Antunes Filho, probably the reason behind her wonderful shows/performances.
She also collaborates with Art gallery Florence Antonio for which opening she created the performance Bela Adormecida (Sleeping Beauty).
