Circular economy at the epicentre of handcrafted fashion in Brazil / A economia circular no epicentro da moda artesanal no Brasil

From Local to Global is a project which raises awareness of sustainable fashion practices in Brazil and challenges a debate on how its cultural references could be depicted in fashion photography, with sections on circular economy, labour, cultural identity, decoloniality, case studies and possible ways of branding local products to global markets. Furthermore, this was my master’s project for the MA Fashion Photography – LCF/UAL which got an A+ grade and granted me a graduation with distinction.

Do Local para o Global: A Economia Circular no Centro da Moda Artesanal no Brazil (From Local to Global) é um projeto que chama a atenção para a produção de moda sustentável no Brasil e promove o debate sobre como as referências culturais podem ser incorporadas na fotografia de moda. Este trabalho levanta questões sobre economia circular, identidade cultural, decolonialismo, relações de trabalho, sustentabilidade e geração de renda, e sobre como a produção local de moda pode ser transformada em um valioso produto para o mercado internacional. Este estudo garantiu o título de Mestre em Fotografia de Moda com nota máxima e ‘honras’ ao fotógrafo Ale Filizzola. Ale foi único brasileiro e latino americano a se formar com este diploma pela London College of Fashion / UAL (2021)

Re-grounding the epic in the everyday
by @alefilizzola

Beyond the routine and apathy of the everyday, everyone was turned into the protagonist and hero of its own tale during the Coronavirus pandemic. The ordinary is no more. On the one hand there are the ones who belie that this crises is overrated. On the other hand there is the pessimism of those who are waiting for the worse. Although, no matter the scale, there is no scape from being impacted by this world crises. Could anyone not be feeling confused about the present and insecure about the future in a time like this? Nevertheless, we are all trying in our own ways to thrive and overcome the new confined reality. – Maybe wearing colourful clothes or party outfits when staying in the lockdown might help to cheer the mood up, isn’t it?

In the dark room

It wasn’t my first time in the darkroom. When I was studying Graphic Design, I had this class as part of my photography programme during the graduation. At that time, it was a curiosity, but I never felt like doing it my self. It was more convenient to source professional labs to have your pictures developed. Yes, I’ve seen the world before the internet! – and analogue film cameras were the standard back then.

Resenhas e aventuras de Ale Filizzola (@alefilizzola) pelo mundo do Fotografia de Moda em Londres.

Voltando no tempo, bem lá atrás, na época dos gregos e romanos, a moda era meio que uma só pra todo o mundo dito civilizado. Com boa parte do corpo em evidência como uma coisa normal, vestimentas drapeadas e sem corte eram a base de uma moda que seguiu praticamente inalterada por séculos. As mudanças de estilo aconteciam geralmente nos adereços, como jóias, penteados, perucas e maquiagem. O oposto disso, roupas com corte e costura, ainda que rústicas, eram características do mundo bárbaro. E isso nem se cogitava “desfilar” pelas ruas de Roma.
