Franco‑Brazilian label Maldito Paris marked its entry into the Brazilian market with a pop‑up shop and a Met‑Gala‑style runway staged inside São Paulo’s iconic Copan building. The July 21 event opened the brand’s store, launched the “FFF: Fantastic Fashion Fetish” exhibition at Galeria Pivô, and featured a global footwear collaboration with Melissa. The brand utilized a “Camp Couture” aesthetic, blending high‑fashion tailoring with 1990s Brazilian pop culture, queer and fetish influences, and dramatic silhouettes.

Three days later, on July 24, designer Francisco Terra presented the first full Brazilian runway show, also at Cine Copan. The collection, titled “Fantastic Fashion Fetish,” merged fetish, fantasy and maximalist motifs, pairing Paris‑originated black‑and‑white “shadow” looks with bright pieces inspired by Carnival and the 1986 passage of Comet Halley. Terra described the concept as “the illuminated version of Parisian shadows.” The show was accompanied by the ongoing pop‑up store, the exhibition, and a limited‑edition Tutti‑Frutti Geladinho flavor created with candy brand Icekiss.

Further details regarding the debut highlighted the technical execution of the runway, specifically the hair styling for the 30 models. Hairstylist Leoni, a Keune Master Talent, utilized Keune Haircosmetics to apply architectural and graphic principles to the styling. The hair looks focused on a high‑impact “red carpet” aesthetic, creating a contrast between sculptural, mirror‑like surfaces and freer textures.
