  • Precise tailoring
  • Asymmetric gowns
  • Eclectic references

Brazilian designer Icarius de Menezes trained at Santa Marcelina and worked briefly at Brazilian Vogue before moving to Paris. His early collections combined precise tailoring and asymmetric gowns with deliberately mixed references, from beauty pageants and magazine imagery to monastic capes and body-conscious trousers.
