Heloisa Faria

Designing for her eponymous brand since 2010, Heloisa Faria has established herself as one of the leading names in sustainable and authorial fashion in Brazil. A Fashion Design graduate from Faculdade Santa Marcelina, she has presented more than 20 runway shows at major events such as São Paulo Fashion Week (SPFW) and Casa de Criadores. Her career is guided by sustainability, body diversity, and continuous research in garment construction, working with upcycling, 100% Brazilian fabrics, and partnerships with movements and institutions such as “Sou de Algodão”, Senac, and the country’s leading textile companies. Recognized for her excellence in craftsmanship and pattern-making, her creations speak to independent women and men who seek clothing beyond trends—favoring unique, modern, and inclusive design. With a focus on shirts, denim, and knitwear, Heloisa also creates exclusive pieces with bold silhouettes, resulting from upcycling and moulage techniques. Beyond fashion, she works as a costume designer for theater, film, dance, and circus productions—most notably for the award-winning costume design of “O Musical da Passarinha”. She also directs and writes art films in partnership with Rubens Crispim Jr., including films for exhibitions at the Pinacoteca de São Paulo and the feature “Louis Moreau Gottschalk – Popstar no Século XIX ou Somente um Pianista”, selected for the 2023 In Edit Festival.
