Lucas Leão, the talented Brazilian designer, certainly made a splash at the BRICS+ Fashion Summit 2023 with his closing showcase that combined technology and traditional design. He presented a selection of his best pieces from three collections, featuring ceramic, frayed fabric and Brazilian tailoring. He is part of a new generation of designers who use 3D modelling to create innovative shapes and textures that left the audience enthralled. Leão 's designs draw inspiration from diverse sources, including Brazilian folklore, pop culture, and contemporary art. This was evident in the collection, where traditional embroidery techniques were juxtaposed with futuristic silhouettes and unexpected fabric combinations. This fusion of influences resulted in a collection that was both familiar and refreshingly unique.
