Helio Henrique carvalho do santos

Faculdade Belas Artes

My name is Hélio Henrique, and I'm a fashion designer from São Paulo. My journey began in the garment factories of the largest metropolis in Latin America and solidified in 2025 with my graduation in Design. At 40 years old, with two children and a decade of experience in retail, I understood that fashion is not just aesthetics; it's a tool of power. I overcame social barriers and the premature loss of my father to transform my life on the streets into refined technique. Today, I create to provoke freedom and originality, combining the technical precision of SENAI with the strategic vision of BELAS ARTES design. I'm here to show that authenticity is the new global luxury.

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.
