Spring/Summer 2022: PatBo brings Brazilianness to NYFW
PatBo's trajectory is about a strong woman who doesn't give up her femininity. Added to this is the entrepreneurial vision and determination of the brand's creator, the stylist Patricia Bolnaldi. It is the result of all this that was in the debut on a NYFW physical catwalk (I had already participated in two digital editions). It is also a fashion show that crowns the opening of the first store in New York, in Soho.
Without a doubt, a great achievement that Patricia faced with her feet on the ground and a parade as well resolved as all the others she has performed at SPFW. The scenography with plants made a connection with the exuberance of Brazilian forests that need to be protected, while the looks set the tone for a very chic sensuality, which appears mainly in dresses with cutouts and low waists. The collection moves from the resort to the party, showing that this agenda is often not so opposite.
Fringes and feathers add glamour, crochet becomes beachwear couture and the kimono arrives in a deluxe version, as the stylist has already done with pajamas. Hand-drawn embroidery, appliqués and prints reinforce PatBo's DNA while showing evolution towards a more contemporary approach. With the theme revolving around a journey through decades and destinations, Patrícia Bonaldi showed that it is possible to absorb external references without giving up the elements that make you unique.
