LEANDRO MARTINS DOS SANTOS

Centro Universitário SENAI São Paulo Campus Antoine Skaf - Sede

I am a Fashion Design student in my first semester. Although I am starting this journey a bit later in life, I am not afraid to face the challenges of new generations. I am deeply motivated by the desire to be a transformative agent for our planet. My dreams and ambitions are centered on becoming a reference within my community. I currently serve as a volunteer for the Scouts and work with industrial uniforms, managing a small family business that successfully creates local jobs. I am carving a path that I’m not afraid to embrace fully. Whatever opportunities come my way, I am committed to giving my absolute best within my possibilities.

Geometric Fusion Dress

Category: Apparel

Competitions: Brazil, International

Project Narrative: Geometric Fusion The Concept The Geometric Fusion ensemble is a study in "Modern Fashion Engineering," where the rigid precision of architectural geometry meets the fluid dynamism of the human form. This look explores the intersection between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary industrial techniques, creating a silhouette that is both protective and avant-garde. Design Philosophy Inspired by the complexity of structural scaffolds and the interplay of light on faceted surfaces, the look utilizes a high-contrast palette of Matte Black and Metallic Bronze. The core of the design lies in its "Faceted Geometry"—a series of laser-cut metallic leather panels integrated with transparent technical mesh. These elements create a visual paradox: a garment that feels structurally impenetrable yet remains breathable and light through its transparency. Technical Innovation Structural Sculpting: The high-structured collar and asymmetrical fastening provide a modern take on tailoring, emphasizing a sharp, powerful silhouette. Material Hybridisation: The strategic layering of high-quality leather and technical power mesh ensures maximum movement without compromising the garment’s geometric integrity. Articulated Details: From miniature metal hinges to laser-perforated panelling, every element has been engineered for functional elegance, showcasing a high degree of technical sewing proficiency. The Vision This ensemble is designed for the modern individual who views fashion as an extension of structural art. It is not merely a garment, but a wearable piece of engineering that celebrates the future of textile manipulation.
