Fashion can be a powerful form of cultural expression. With this in mind, Scarf Me presents the Waurá Collection , inspired by the art and traditions of these people from 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 stems from artist Cláudia Toledo's admiration for Waurá crafts. Her ceramics, body adornments, and geometric patterns reflect the power of fauna, flora, and the surrounding environment. This shamanic approach served as the starting point for the creation of prints that carry not only beauty but also meaning and history.
Waurá culture is known 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 every detail. This philosophy is reflected in the scarves , kaftans, beachwear , and shawls in the collection.
The Waurá master 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, arranged 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 fruit.
The banana tree, for example, is essential to the village, 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 singular refinement. Unlike other ethnic groups, they create arrangements with smaller feathers, creating sophisticated "flowers" that stand out for their minimalist and elegant design.
This print transforms this concept into a contemporary design, exploring floral arrangements made entirely from Brazilian bird feathers. The result is a sophisticated interpretation of this traditional element, bringing a new perspective to the visual richness of indigenous adornments.
- 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 a fragment of the history of these people, transforming clothing into an authentic and meaningful experience.
By purchasing a piece from this collection, you're not only investing in sophisticated design, but also participating in a larger movement for cultural preservation and appreciation. Elegance meets history, and fashion becomes a conduit between past and present.
