My Fashion Design Master, at Raffle’s Istituto Moda e Design, in Milan

At present I am attending the Design Master Course, at Raffle’s Istituto Moda e Design, in Milano, Italy. Raffles Milano is one of the most exclusive and innovative Fashion and Design schools worldwide. The program is planned in modules, each one of them being organized, considering the participation of advertising and photography agencies, architectural firms, design agencies and fashion faucets.

The school and course are marvelous! Raffle’s staff includes award winning teachers, professionals with significant fashion and design industry experience and  offers different possibilities – visits to: fashion weeks; art galleries/exhibitions; fashion industries; besides fashion competitions and awards, among others.


I am loving the Fashion Course!

IED Sacred Art collection’s fashion show, at MAM

In the video above it’s possible to check out Fruto do Conde’s Sacred Art collection fashion show, that took place at MAM – the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro, located in the district of Flamengo.

The collection was idealized and presented as the Fashion Design course graduation project for the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED/RJ), on December 2016.

The pieces, all conceptual, were inspired by byzantine and medieval sacred art, and in religious faith. The beautiful fabrics were imported from Canada, carefully chosen with the purpose of exploring textures and in order to translate the aesthetic aspects and language of religious art.

We also created and crafted exclusive accessories: earrings, necklaces with crosses and head ornments –  such as crowns and halos, which represent spiritual enlightenment.
