Walter Rodrigues
As a designer, Walter Rodrigues has dressed several Brazilian celebrities as brides, putting on unforgettable shows at Phytoervas Fashion, SPFW, Fashion Rio and Paris Fashion Week. But he got tired of the madness of having to sell, of making the wheel turn and, in 2012, decided to dedicate himself solely to research. He started in the fashion world in 1983, as a stylist for Manequim magazine, published by Abril. He worked for photographer Miro and stylist Clô Orozco, of the Huis Clos brand, who died in 2013.
Even before he closed his label for good, Walter was working for Assintecal (Brazilian Association of Companies of Components for Leather, Footwear and Manufactured Goods), as a consultant in the area of design and product. Today he is the coordinator of Inspiramais’ Design and Research Center, a consultant for the By Brasil Institute, and curator of the Focus Design Vision Project of the Focus Institute, which aims to develop sustainability among students at Brazilian fashion schools.
