BFF 2021
Brazilian fashion and art took the stage on October 1st and October 2nd at the famed Institute of Contemporary Art here in Miami. Each year, top Brazilian fashion designers and artists highlight the best in Brazilian culture at this ground-breaking event.
The Brazil Fashion Forum is a pioneering exhibit designed to show the world the essence of contemporary Brazilian culture through the lens of its fashion, art, trends, food and beauty. Leading Brazilian artists and designers displayed their work on the fashion runway and in a variety of unique pop-up stores.
The Forum was supported this year by Chopard, UBS, L’Oréal, Hotel FAENA – Miami Beach, the General Consulate of Brazil in Miami, together with important Brazilian fashion designers and luxury brands.
BFF 2021 SurFace Art Exhibit
Attendees were treated to SurFace, a special art exhibit by contemporary artist, Gabriel Wickbold and curated by Marcello Dantas for ICA Museum, Miami. Gabriel started his career in 2006 as a photographer and has since produced six original series. His work has been shown in Sao Paolo, New York, Stockholm, Lisbon, London and Miami.
BFF 2021 Fashion Gallery & Runway Shows
Some of this year’s outstanding fashion design came from Meninos Rei, Mile Lab, Naya Violeta, Silverio, AZ Marias, AMM and Santa Resistencia. Runway shows included looks from Lisu Vega, Azul Milagres for Martha Medeiros, Linnen, Chaouiche and Julianna Sanmartin.
BFF 2021 Ambassador Lais Ribeiro
Top Brazilian model, Lais Ribeiro, was this year’s Forum Ambassador, hosting various fashion and art events. She wore several of Dover’s pieces at the Gala Night. These included a pair of 18k gold talisman earrings, chosen from our collection of Vintage Diamond Earrings, similar to ones worn at this year’s Emmys, together with a stunning 3 carat, 18k gold cascading diamond chandelier teardrop necklace. Although they were both sold immediately after the event, we have acquired a fabulous new selection of Diamond Chandelier Earrings, perfect for the holidays – such as these Vintage Rose Cut Diamond Earrings! From our New Arrivals Collection this Art Deco style Diamond Emerald Platinum Floral Filigree Pendant Necklace and our Vhernier Calla Diamonds Black Onyx 18K White Gold Necklace & Earrings Set as a Most desirable Accessory to your Holiday Style.
The uniqueness of Brazilian style and culture was at the forefront of this year’s BFF, bringing together new talent and innovative ideas.
Brazilians seem to have a knack for dressing casually while looking meticulously put together – and Brazilian designers are becoming internationally acclaimed for their attention to detail and innovative approach to textiles.
We would also like to thank the wonderful stylist who reached out to us at www.doverjewelry.com in search of the perfect accent to Lais Ribeiro’s exquisite style.
We salute the models, designers, and all the stylists of this must-see annual event – and look forward to pairing our special vintage and diamond pieces with the best in Brazilian fashion once more at BFF 2022.
