The cultural and historical influences of Luciana Galeão's work are apparent in the bold, colorful fabrics she chooses and the loose, flowing silhouettes they're transformed into. The stark geometric pattens of colonial Brazil are softened by a tropical, lighthearted personality in each and every beautiful piece.
Since 1996, her work has been gaining recognition, shedding light on the local culture of her home state of Bahia. It's easy to see why so many women love her work. Even her Fall 2007 collection is infused with lively colors and flowing lines- a sharp departure from the usual stiff tweeds and dull browns of fall. We imagine her designs must be a breath of fresh air in São Paulo, a city that seems to have rejected the most prominent signs of fashion trends and capitalism. In a huge city full of torn-down billboards and lost signage from family businesses her designs may become an even more important link to Brazil's cultural past.Where In The Hive: site/lucianagaleao.com.brWho: SheBreathes was the first to add Luciana Galeão to the Hive
