PORTRAIT OF BRAZIL
A new fashion project directly from Brazil, edited by Pier Fioraso and captured by the lens of Andre Costa, reveals, in a series of evocative images, the hottest proposals in socks, boxers and mantyhose from the Cult Edition collection.
The socks becomes a must-have item. Cleverly mixing sporty elements with the most iconic motifs, the result is a real exaltation of physicality: the ideal complement to a daily life that contrasts convulsive rhythms with moments of intoxicating magic.

THE ART OF CAPOEIRA
Suppleness, lightness, power: the three fundamental elements that make Capoeira what it is, the ancient Brazilian martial art with roots plunged deep into the centuries.
Imbued with a magical force, Capoeira turns combat into dance, making the whole body into an instrument.

FRIENDS-RIVALS
Gestures that challenge without sacrificing grace, players that face each other but never touch, acrobatic virtuosity between heaven and earth...
A hymn to freedom against the torrid background of Brazil, where white beaches alternate with endless forests.

Agility is transformed into indispensable talent, the dominant feature of a weaponless duel inspired by savage movements of defense and attack.
UNCEASING EXERCISE
Maximum force is concentrated in the legs.
Fundamentally, a daily workout to tone your muscles and an exquisite ability to master the "ginga", the origin and outcome of all movements.

BRAZILIFY YOUR BODY
The whole body sculpts itself to generate energy, but to catapult oneself into the "roda" (the human circle that defines the performance) requires a true sense of artistry.

EQUILIBRIUM
Balance is a constant presence, adding rhythm to combat and a concrete base to coordination, giving rise to swing, a perfectly calibrated mix of movement, creativity and power.

"Empty the mind. Be without form. Without limits..."
THE SEARCH FOR FREEDOM
The ocean. Waves that come and go give rhythm to the days and seasons.
The immense spaces of the sea that once united the land of carioca with Africa and its rituals.
Just like water, the capoeirista transforms gesture into poetry, merging spirit with outer form in a relentless, ever-evolving flow.
