Ariana Orrico

SANGUE NOVO
SUPPORTED BY SEASIDE

Born and raised in Lisbon, with Cape Verdean roots, Ariana Orrico developed an early passion for the arts. In 2021, she completed her studies in Artistic Production at the António Arroio School of Arts and, in the same year, began a Fashion Design degree at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Lisbon. She is currently completing a Master’s in the same field at FAUL. During her academic journey, she also took part in an exchange program at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. Her artistic background is reflected in the way she explores the plasticity of materials, manual techniques, and her experimental approach to fashion.

The 75 collection was born from an urgency: to liberate the male body from the visual neutrality that confines it. Eliminating trousers was the first step. From leather, denim, and lace knit, Ariana Orrico created a body that wears doubt rather than tradition. The path was to (re)imagine, to question, to provoke, and to open space for the body to experience new ways of existing. The final result is a series of looks that carry the weight of tools for self-discovery.

This capsule is materialized in cotton fabrics sourced from textile waste and in genuine leather, purchased as offcuts and transformed into patchwork, making use of every fragment to its fullest.
