More than a concept, MAIS ALÉM, Dino Alves’s Spring/Summer collection, emerges as a challenge of creative transcendence. Inspired by the artist’s ability to see the invisible, to imagine what seems impossible to most, and to transform the banal into the extraordinary, it is born of a restless and visionary spirit — qualities that define true creativity. MAIS ALÉM is an exercise in freedom as essence: to think without boundaries, to dress without conventions, and to express oneself with authenticity. While most are content with surface and reality, creatives dare to go further, to open horizons, and to anticipate the future.
This collection builds on ideas touched upon in previous works, yet pushes them further, surpassing the very notion itself. This does not mean that the pieces must be more elaborate, eccentric, or flamboyant, since going “beyond” can also mean pursuing purification and simplification.
The collection presents a palette spanning black, pearl, ivory, celadon green, brown, sky green, lemon yellow, bold orange, checks, stained fabrics, midnight blue, petroleum blue, burgundy, bubblegum pink, and shirting stripes. Materials include viscose, cotton, satin duchesse, mousseline, jersey, organza, poplin, net, and crepe. Details stand out in draping, multiplied godets, repetition of elements, pieces that suggest others, patternmaking techniques usually applied to one garment type now transposed into others, and contrasts between oversized, fitted, and crinoline effects. This season also features the Dino Alves x Rêve de Flo partnership for women’s footwear.
Above all, MAIS ALÉM is the affirmation that to be creative is to be free.
