Rafael Gomes' breathtaking evening dresses represent the glamorous wedding of seductive lingerie with Haute Couture. The skirt part consists of interwoven stockings or bra straps. Rafael Gomes places the corsages and bras of Triumph International in the centre of his creations.

Rafael Gomes describes his inspiration for the Pin-up as follows: "This year's motto for the Fashion Award immediately fascinated me. I sat there for hours and tried to design clothes which granted looks at the Triumph lingerie. Discontent met me. I was sorry to cover the parts to which I wanted to give effect. Basta! I disengaged from the idea underwear belongs to be covered.

This was the idea! The Pin-up of today carries the “under” as part of “outer” wear. The self-confidence of women has changed! In Triumph lingerie the Pin-up completely secures her glamorous appearance! The materials are so various, of highly quality and feminine that they will perfectly fit for the Oscar's Night."

The Brazilian born fashion designer Rafael Gomes, now living in Munich and studying at the 'Deutsche Meisterschule für Mode' (German Master School for Fashion), is the darling of the media: in January 2006 the German newspaper 'Welt' has published an enthusiastic article and in February the team of the TV station ARTE worked on a documentary about Rafael Gomes.

The success series continues: in November 2005 Gomes was looking for the next challenge and was elected among the winners at the competition 'WeltGewänder 2005' of the 'Welthungerhilfe' (German Agro Action).
