New Brazilian brand Giulietta has a website that captures every little girl’s fantasy. I dare you to go on it and try not to turn instantly idealistic and well… happy. In an interview with Babel Fair, designers Priscila Barlehos and Rosa Duarte describe Giulietta as inspired by “modern romance” and Shakespeare’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” They are self-proclaimed romantics and find inspiration everywhere – except other brands. Barlehos and Duarte are quick to point out the uniqueness of their brand and their insistence on individuality. The flower sequin dress made by hand takes ten days to make by several people, a dedication rarely seen these days in the world of fast fashion. Both designers have had extensive experience with big Brazilian labels before launching their own dream. Being Brazilian has had an impact on their work they state noting the light colors and feel of the clothes. “Very carioca” Barlehos says. Carioca is a word to describe a native from Rio De Janeiro. Focused on soft pastels with gold touches, Giulietta for sure will bring a little bit of the romantic carioca feeling to the world.
