On the final day of São Paulo Fashion Week N59, Handred offered a deliberate pause—a moment of reflection amid the city’s fast-paced fashion pulse. For Fall Winter 2025-2026, founder and creative director André Namitala turned inward, trading grand spectacle for intimacy with a private presentation at Galeria Passado Composto in São Paulo’s Jardins district.

This season, tapestry became both medium and metaphor. Inspired by the dialogue between modern textile artists and contemporary craftsmanship, Namitala curated a setting where the collection could breathe—surrounded by art, light, and intentional stillness.

Only 80 guests were invited. The atmosphere was hushed, reverent, drawing the eye toward the nuanced handiwork behind each piece. Stripped of theatrics, the focus was pure: fabric, form, and process.

More than a collection, it was a study in restraint. Handred reasserted its identity not through volume, but through precision—honoring the quiet power of artisanal making and the enduring relevance of thoughtful design.

In scaling back, the message rang clear: fashion can be both intimate and impactful, when the craft is allowed to speak
