Fashion can be a powerful form of cultural expression. With this in mind, Scarf Me is highlighting the Waurá Collection , inspired by the art and traditions of the people of the Upper Xingu. The result is a series of sophisticated prints that celebrate the connection with nature and the spiritual depth of this ancient culture.
The collection was born from artist Cláudia Toledo's admiration for Waurá crafts. Her ceramics, body adornments and geometric patterns convey the power of the fauna, flora and surrounding environment. This shamanic thinking was the starting point for the creation of prints that carry not only beauty, but also meaning and history.
Waurá culture stands out for transforming natural elements into art. Each print in the collection was developed to reflect this premise, connecting fashion and spirituality in a sophisticated way.
In her prints, the artist expresses the belief that nature is an inexhaustible source of inspiration and energy. Therefore, appropriating its elements and converting them into ornaments or prints is a way of absorbing its strength, that is, of carrying with oneself the symbolic power of each detail. This philosophy is reflected in the scarves , kaftans, beachwear and shawls in the collection.
The Waurá are masters of the art of ceramics and create unique pieces with geometric patterns inspired by local fauna and flora. This print features graphics in up to three colors, distributed in elegant patterns that suggest movement.
Furthermore, small details camouflage images of animals present in Waurá culture, creating a sophisticated and dynamic visual effect.
- Graphic scarf in silk mousseline | 60x210cm
This print celebrates the Waurá's relationship with the natural elements that surround them. Inspired by the organization of everyday life, it features references such as banana leaves, fish and fruits.
The banana tree, for example, is essential to the village, being used both for food and for making utensils. With geometric lines and a harmonious arrangement, the pattern balances sophistication and cultural identity.
- Textured panel in viscose | 130x200cm
Waurá body adornments reveal a unique refinement. Unlike other ethnic groups, they create arrangements with smaller feathers, composing sophisticated "flowers" that stand out for their minimalist and elegant design.
This print transforms this concept into a contemporary pattern that explores the forms of floral arrangements made entirely from Brazilian bird feathers. The result is a sophisticated interpretation of this typical element, which brings a new perspective to the visual richness of indigenous ornaments.
- Feather scarf in silk satin | 40x40cm
The Waurá Collection not only features exclusive prints, but also reinforces the appreciation of Brazilian traditions. Each scarf, kaftan and sarong carries with it a fragment of the history of these people, transforming clothing into an authentic and meaningful experience.
By purchasing a piece from this collection, you are not only investing in sophisticated design, but also participating in a larger movement of cultural preservation and appreciation. Elegance meets history, and fashion becomes a channel of connection between past and present.
