Alina Lopes

UNIFACS - Universidade de Salvador

I am Alina Lopes, I am 21 years old and I am from Feira de Santana, Bahia. I balance work and college, building my path with dedication and constant learning. I am creative, observant, and persistent, passionate about painting, ceramics, and creative processes. I enjoy turning ideas into something tangible, always seeking identity and meaning in what I do. My biggest goal is to build my own fashion brand, combining authenticity, purpose, and expression in every detail.

The “Âmbar Selvagem” project proposes a garment that combines sophistication and naturalness through the use of leather and silk organza, exploring the contrast between structure and lightness. The concept values a contemporary aesthetic, with shapes that interact with the body and reinforce the piece’s strong and organic identity. Beyond its aesthetic aspect, the project is guided by sustainability principles, focusing on slow fashion and waste zero. This means greater care in the creation process, aiming for better material usage and reduction of leftovers, as well as encouraging a more conscious and long-lasting production, moving away from fast fashion consumption.
