Melissa Dias

Unifacs Universidade Salvador

Hello, my name is Melissa Dias, a third-semester Fashion Design student at UNIFACS. I have always been passionate about fashion, as I believe it is a form of identity and expression, capable of directly influencing self-esteem. I enjoy creating sketches that explore diverse styles and creative pieces, mixing prints, colors, and elements to bring unique ideas to life. During my academic journey, I have already developed projects such as inclusive clothing adapted for people with disabilities, designed to value every body, as well as a clothing set inspired by Brazilian orchids, highlighting the richness of our flora and culture.

Scarlet Horizon reinterprets the Y2K aesthetic with bold silhouettes, metallic details, and a futuristic atmosphere. The garments are body-hugging and crafted in leather, conveying sensuality, attitude, and confidence, while uniting power, identity, and a contemporary vision.

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.
