Hello folks!

Real talk – São Paulo Fashion Week 2025 N59? It was insane. Not just “ooh pretty clothes” insane, but “wow, that walk gave me chills” kinda insane. It was sleek, powerful, and personal in a way that fashion weeks rarely are. And the models? Total icons in the making. You know, I had to give you the inside scoop on the ones who stole the spotlight.

Pietro Antonelli: The Cool Kid With Star Power

First up, Pietro Antonelli. He’s 19, looks like he stepped off a high-fashion magazine cover, and just casually walked the runway for Dario Mittmann like he’s been doing this his whole life. The crowd? Obsessed. And it’s not just because he’s the son of two famous actors – this guy has presence. His debut at SPFW N59 was all confident strides and piercing stares. He’s got that “next big thing” energy all over him.

Carliane Paixão: The Icon

Let’s talk Carliane Paixão – the moment she stepped out at the Normando show, the vibe shifted. She closed the show and did it with that ideal combination of poise and strength. Bottega Veneta, Vivienne Westwood, and Givenchy aren’t new to Carliane. She has collaborated with them before, but to see her be so effortless, powerful, and unforgettable at São Paulo Fashion Week 2025 was to see a queen take back her throne.

Luiz Pereira: Vogue Roots, High Fashion Future

If you’ve never heard of Luiz Pereira, now’s the time to pay attention. He came from the ballroom voguing scene, and now he’s strutting it out for João Pimenta and Alexandre Herchcovitch. His walk? Sharp and expressive. His looks? Bold as hell. At just 20, he’s already leaving his mark on SPFW 59. I love how he brings something different to the runway – like, you can’t take your eyes off him.

Sam Porto: Groundbreaking Then, Groundbreaking Now

Sam Porto isn’t new to SPFW – he made history as the first trans man to walk the show back in 2019. And this year? He’s back and even stronger. He hit the runway for João Pimenta and Dario Mittmann, and let me tell you – his walk still gives goosebumps. He’s not only walking the walk; he’s making a statement whenever he hits the catwalk. São Paulo Fashion Week 2025 would not have been complete without him.

Daiane Conterato: The Runway Veteran Who Still Slays

Now, Daiane Conterato – she’s walked for Dior, Marc Jacobs, DKNY, you name it. She came back to SPFW N59 and COMMANDED the runway at Alexandre Herchcovitch and Patrícia Vieira. There’s something so sharp about her presence. She doesn’t need to do much- just one step and you’re like, “Yup, she’s the moment.”

Gregory Fabbri: From the Sky to the Spotlight

How do you make being a model even cooler? Be a pilot too. That’s Gregory Fabbri. He’s balancing fashion with flying planes, and somehow doing both like a total pro. His energy on the runway is grounded (no pun intended) and powerful. Watching him at São Paulo Fashion Week 2025 was like watching someone effortlessly glide into the spotlight. He’s got that chill confidence that makes everything he wears look even better.

A Quick Peek at the Collections

Now, I know it’s easy to focus on the faces (because wow), but we have to talk about the collections – just a bit. This year’s vibe was all about simplicity done really well. Think luxe basics, earthy tones, and sharp tailoring. Designers like Leandro Castro, Mnmal, and Reptilia kept things clean but cool, and João Pimenta gave us edgy takes on classic suits. The focus was more curated this time – only 17 shows, but each one hit. It wasn’t about quantity. Rather, it was all about quality. And guess what? It totally paid off.

São Paulo Fashion Week 2025 said very clearly through their actions that not everything needs to be over-the-top to make a statement. It’s also clean lines, thoughtful fabrics, and letting the models do their thing that make a difference.

In the End…

All that said, São Paulo Fashion Week 2025 felt like it was an ode to individuality and bold self-expression. It wasn’t just about who wore what – it was about each one’s story. From Pietro’s new energy to Carliane’s queenly confidence, from Luiz’s edgy intensity to Sam’s forceful presence, this week was one of fashion and heart.

Mark my words–this season will be one we reflect on and say, “Yeah, that was the moment things leveled up.”
