Osklen called attention to environmental issues and took its “Amazon Guardians” collection to the catwalks of the São Paulo Fashion Week.

Oskar Metsavaht created comfortable looks for next season, such as moleton coats and dresses. The maxi sizing of the pieces is strong to contrast with the skinny pants.

The fabrics used include jeans, chamois, cashmere, leather, cotton weaves and serge, as well as silk, taffeta, cool wool, recycled PET knits. Tricot pieces are the highlight.

The prints include geometric traces common in Brazilian Indian culture to remember the importance in preserving the culture and underscoring the value of the Indians as the first guardians of our forest.

Feathers inspired by the colors of Brazilian birds also comprise Osklen's prints. Colors: ice, gray, blends, khaki, military green, neon red, carbon blue, black, lime, coffee, gold and silver.

Oskar Metsavaht is a multi-sensorial creator. His lifestyle and professional background paved the way for him to express his ideas throughout creations that go beyond design, and includes visual arts, social and ecological initiatives and expeditions worldwide. Thus, his collections are presented not only in Brazil, but also in the main European cities and in Japan.
