Rodney Pécora

Universidade de São Paulo

My name is Rodney, I'm 20 years old and I'm from São Paulo, Brazil. Since I was little, I've had an inclination towards the world of fashion, whether drawing sketches—in my "childish way"—or accompanying my mother to her work in a clothing factory. When I grew up, I actually started my career in fashion. I took a technical course in Clothing Pattern Making and from there I began to venture into personal projects. Later on, I participated in the "Cria Costura" project, in which I developed a look for an exhibition and another to show at São Paulo Fashion Week. Now, I'm studying Textiles and Fashion at the University of São Paulo, and I'm also applying for this project which I will present to you!

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
