Coleçao moda brasileira (Brazilian Fashion Collection)
Cosac Naify, São Paulo, Brazil, 2007
Description
This series of five books is about Brazilian contemporary fashion designers. The bindings are exposed so you can see the colored threads and the edges of the folded sections. They are also “dressed” by a folded dust jacket, which is made from a different material for each volume, according to the content. The interior of each book combines fashion looks and references in different ways, configuring a structure that dialogs with the artists’ style. But the external shape assures the series’ identity, without neglecting each artist’s individuality.
Juror Notes
The quirky yet solid and inventive branding is well executed. A lovely little series—each cover is a unique but whole aesthetic experience and comments perfectly on each fashion designer’s approach.
