<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The famous word today when it comes to sustainability in fashion is <em><a href="http://theconsciousclothing.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/os-novos-elos-the-new-chains/" target="_blank"><font color="#003355">upcycling</font></a></em>. There are countless fashion designers around the world that has implemented this concept in their products and projects.</p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">A good example here in Brazil is the textile designer Juliana Suarez’s own brand <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26729860@N04/" target="_blank"><font color="#003355">Maria Lixo</font></a>. The main product are the bags which are made from plastic bags from supermarkets and shops and food packaging. The process involves developing and applying techniques of embroidery fabrics, sequins and colorful rubber bands.</p>

</div>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The techniques used make the junction and the strengthening of the bag providing a sturdy fabric that looks like leather, for the production of handbags, wallets, accessories (as they are smaller, they are made from scraps of materials), upholstered and items of decoration.</p>

<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">With a small production, exclusive models (all of what today’s consumers want!) and a feminine and playful aesthetic with collages of pictures of flowers, birds and people which remember – a lot – a patchwork, Maria Lixo is a luxury.</p>

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(86, 86, 84); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px;">It wasn’t the first time nor is a local that I use to go very often even because my concept of the vintage clothing stores isn’t the same for little more than two or three years. For whom think of jumble stores are darken and small places that smell the old days and sniff just because is going to buy an outfit or an accessory that had already been used by someone else, it’s better to recycle its ideas!</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(86, 86, 84); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px;"><br/></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(86, 86, 84); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px;">Yes, I must agree that the experience in buying at this kind of shops here in Brazil, specifically in Sao Paulo city and mainly in the countryside cities, is not yet one of the best. And this happens because there are few stores that make a selection of the best clothing pieces (separating them in epoch, genders, brands), think of the organization of the clothes and accessories (color, size, gender) and of the interior design for a consumer feeling welcome and treat the business seriously, this means, the owners should “get the house” to attract people.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(86, 86, 84); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px;"><br/></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(86, 86, 84); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px;">Recently I had the opportunity to know the vintage clothing store called Juisi by Licquor, one of the most conceptualized São Paulo city’s vintage shops, as well as the stores B.Luxo (which I know) and Minha avó tinha. The shopping experience in these three examples is (almost) the same as any person has in any other fashion and accessory shop: the display window gets the consumer’s attention, the clothes are selected and separated in the shelves and you are well attended by a salesclerk who knows everything about each and every product. The only and main difference between these places and the common shops is the not existence of collections and the same clothes and accessories.</span></div>

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(86, 86, 84); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px;"><br/></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(86, 86, 84); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px;">It’s important for the foreigners to know that there is still this polemic and inconclusive debate about what the Brazilian identity in fashion is (or should be). So this talk was one of the questions raised in some point at the<a href="http://theconsciousclothing.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/os-novos-elos-the-new-chains/" target="_blank" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 51, 85);">“Sustainable Fashion” course</a> and, saying that, nothing better than to rethink about this concept at times of sustainability, or better, to ask what the best manner to utilize the Brazilian fashion way of doing to the sustainable principles is.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(86, 86, 84); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px;"><br/></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(86, 86, 84); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px;">Defining the Brazilian identity in fashion is at least a very hard task because Brazil is a huge country which has received many influences from different cultures and, therefore, plurality is one of its qualities. Another question about this subject and, related to sustainability, is the doing things locally. After all, what is the meaning of having a clothing piece or accessory <em style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px;">designed in</em> Brazil but <em style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px;">made in</em> any other corner of the planet? To value our supply chain, our handwork and crafts and to offer fair working conditions are also part of sustainable development.</span></div>
