Exhibition about designers and lacemakers from Brazil

Exhibition named “Renda-se”  by Dudu Bertolini is in the “A Casa”,  an São Paulo City museum by the end of June. The designer was invited, by Renata Mellão, to mapping the lacemaker communities, then he invited other designers to compose a look with an exclusive embroidery lace.

Exposed clothing are the result of a dialogue between designers and lacemakers who participate of the creation and development of lace parts in various regions of Brazil. Walter Rodrigues chooses to work with “renda de bilro”, a kind of lace. He worked together with the Lacemakers Association of the “Morro Mariana” in Parnaíba, a city in the State of Piaui, northeast of Brazil. Lino Villaventura created a kind of lace named “renda de filé” and worked  with the lacemaker Perpétua Martins, from Fortaleza, State of Ceará, also in northeast of Brazil.
