After five days in Fortaleza and four days exploring the DFB Festival 2022 – the biggest authorial fashion event in Latin America – We can safely say that we fell in love with every corner and aspect of the city and the event. The DFB brings together dozens of incredible brands, and there we saw a side of pak fashion that we still didn’t know.
It took four days, more than twenty brands and a lot of exchange, and now we’re going to summarize a little bit of what we saw there. More precisely, which fashion trends we identified on the catwalks of the DFB Festival 2022. And believe me, there were many. Continue here to stay in the loop and also get to know some of the brands paraded at the event:
Transparency
Transparency was something we saw in almost all the shows that took place at the DFB Festival 2022. Both in lace, as crochets, tulle and several other techniques and materials. Playing with the see through , leaving a little skin or other layers of clothing exposed, was something that the vast majority of brands bet on.
income
Income is one of Ceará’s most cultural strengths. There, there are several techniques of weaving a lace and many brands, which are born in the northeast, have this as a pillar. So, another fashion trend we saw on the Dragão Fashion catwalk was lace! In various colors, materials and different applications.
cool tailoring
I confess that I was surprised to see so much tailoring inside the DFB Festival 2022 catwalk, it was definitely not something I was expecting. There, the millennial modeling technique underwent several reinterpretations. And the traditional tailoring that we know, has become something light, stripped, cool and the face of Ceará.
Fun prints
Dragão Fashion takes place in the city of Fortaleza, and if there’s something that represents this city, it’s the prints. Fun, colorful and full of inspiration, the patterns colored the runways of the DFB Festival 2022, and suggested that we will have a very fun and colorful summer next year.
saturated colors
No skimping on colors, on the DFB Festival 2022 catwalks, the more colorful and saturated, the better! The electric, strong and warm color palettes were a great highlight during the four days of the event, both in the fashion shows and in street style .
crochet
Like lace, crochet is another manual technique that is part of the culture of Ceará and the entire northeast, so it is not surprising that crochet pieces and accessories were a strong trend at the festival. The most interesting thing is that different brands have very different approaches to the technique, always making it interesting and sophisticated.
pink + orange
And to finish the list of trends we identified at the DFB Festival 2022, the combination of orange and pink. Walking side by side with the saturated colors, the contrast of the two warm and powerful colors was present on the Ceará catwalk. Not only at Olê Rendeiras, but also at Sherida and Alix.
romantic dresses
Romantic and ample dresses are the face of summer and, for at least two years in a row, the one piece has been a strong summer trend. Starting there in 2020, with the breezy dress, and going through several versions over the years. I’m a fan of the model and I think it’s perfect for winter looks, with high boots and jackets.
