With Niki Taylor, Olivia Palermo, and the MisShapes.
Since launching his collection in 1994, the Brazilian designer has held fast to his vision, bringing fantasy with a utilitarian streak that’s sometimes politically charged, be it through freaky constructions of molded rubber and gargantuan sequins, brash patterns and religious iconography, or the geometrically daring frocks he’s favored of late. Greatest hits include the Tyvek dress and a new take on the tuxedo; more avant-garde and controversial looks include trash-bags-cum-dresses and woven straw hats.
“My customer in Brazil is someone looking for something different, something that isn't necessarily a trend. People looking for real designers, who develop materials and colors and mix them in unique ways. People who desire new things, and new ways of expressing themselves and communicating something through their clothing. That's the person who wears my clothes. This is the same customer I see elsewhere.”—Alexandre Herchcovitch JC Report
