About | Brazil Creating Fashion for Tomorrow

Brazil: Creating Fashion for Tomorrow (BCFT) is an initiative led and co-curated by Camila Villas, Lilian Pacce, and Marilia Biasi, held annually in London since 2023. The project promotes exhibitions and panel discussions that highlight the creativity, innovation, and regenerative practices of Brazilian designers, researchers, and artisans, guided by strong socio-environmental values. BCFT celebrates the opulence of Brazil’s natural materials, unique craftsmanship, and contemporary design as a source of inspiration for the global fashion industry.

The first two editions of the event were part of the official London Fashion Week calendar and were hosted by the Embassy of Brazil in London, reinforcing its relevance within the international fashion scene.

Now in its third edition, BCFT was proud to be a leading event at London Climate Action Week in June 2025.

The exhibition, titled "(re)weaving Amazonia", took place at Kings Cross Coal Drops Yard and attracted over 1,100 visitors. It was supported by the Arapyaú Institute, Amazon Concertation, The Nature Conservancy, the Embassy of Brazil in London, ApexBrasil, and LCAW.
