MADE IN BRAZIL: THE OSKLEN SUCCESS STORY #13

MADE IN BRAZIL: THE OSKLEN SUCCESS STORY #13

Imagine a doctor who trades his stethoscope for a sewing machine. Who climbs the Andes, makes his own jacket by hand, and somewhere between the altitude and the ice, decides: this is what I want to build. That man is Oskar Metsavaht. And what he built is Osklen. A brand born in 1989 from a tiny store in Búzios, a beach town in Rio de Janeiro, became one of the most forward-thinking labels in the world. Osklen didn’t wait for sustainability to become a buzzword. They were working with Amazonian pirarucu fish leather, organic cotton, and recycled polyester before most brands had even heard the word ESG. They built the Instituto-E, a non-profit dedicated to proving that beauty and responsibility are not opposites. They’ve increased the income of over a thousand riverside communities in the Amazon. They made a sneaker sole from natural latex tapped directly from the forest. This year Oskar signed the uniforms for Brazil’s delegation at the Winter Olympics in collaboration with the italian Moncler.

RESORTWEAR REINVENTED: MADE IN BRAZIL AT CABANA SHOW #10

In our 10th episode, we shine a spotlight on four brazilian brands preparing to showcase their Summer 2026 collections at Cabana Show Miami. Representing Brazil's creative diversity, our host Ale Farah talks to two labels from São Paulo, one from Rio de Janeiro, and one from Minas Gerais - bringing a vibrant mix of accessories, resortwear, knitwear, and swimwear. Each brand offers a distinct voice and a fresh vision blending innovation, sustainability, and strong cultural identity into collections that go beyond fashion. We start with Yukio, a sophisticated resortwear brand from São Paulo. With sensual tailoring and modern elegance, its pieces are a tribute to brazilian femininity and confidence. Next is La Sirène, a swim and resortwear label that celebrates the female form with bold silhouettes and emotive storytelling. From Rio, we have WaiWai, known for its playful, surreal, and tropical accessories - all handcrafted in Brazil. Their new collection explores vibrant contrasts and surreal designs. We close the episode with the unmistakably brazilian Cecilia Prado. From the mountains of Minas Gerais, the brand produces hand-tech knitwear that merges cutting-edge technology with artisanal tradition.
