The collection ÚLTIMO EMPREGADO (The Last Worker) draws on the experiences and history of Xavier Silva's family, marked by years of hard, undervalued work. Through this collection, the Designer seeks to transform feelings of weariness and invisibility into artistic and enriching creation.
The collection incorporates uniforms once worn by Xavier Silva and his family, preserving stains, tears, and patches as testimonies of their “battle scars.” These elements, combined with repurposed work objects – such as worn gloves and used cloths – reinforce the connection to upcycling and the emotional memory embedded in clothing.
From this process emerges a conscious fashion proposal that gives new life to what was once discarded, transforming stories of effort and resilience into unique pieces, full of authenticity and meaning.
