Career

Hello, I'm Ângela Brito and thank you for supporting my brand. Originally from Cape Verde, I sailed the Atlantic to live in Brazil over 30 years ago, a symbol that the power of essence transcends borders. Building a pioneering path by being the first black woman to have a collection shown at SPFW, nominated for the Emerging Designer of the Year award at the American Latin Fashion Awards or participating in the Inspira Rio Award (a city I love so much), elected in 2021 as one of the 100 most influential personalities in the Lusophony, among others, my creations reflect the most intimate part of my Being: the curiosity for nomadic peoples and their needles, which I sew into my memories.

When I visit my precious Islands, I connect with the traditional Creole, emanating that no matter where I am, the rhythm of the loom and the handmade work will always accompany me. In this way, I keep my roots strong by giving voice to new constructions through clean and innovative design, unfolding constant dialogues with the New World. In this way, I manifest a vision where everyone can dance and move within their own Being through clothing and mind, understanding that our identities are flexible and complex as they float in an endless process.

 

As coleções de Angela Brito são atemporais, criadas para permanecer além das temporadas — o tempo não define o nosso fazer. Caso tenha se interessado por alguma peça de qualquer coleção ou ano e não a encontre disponível, entre em contato que produziremos sob medida. A execução depende da disponibilidade de tecidos, cores e aviamentos.
