Muses Fashion Collective
The Musas Coletivo de Moda project was created in 2019 with the goal of contributing to the collective appreciation and strengthening of people working in the field of culture, such as fashion, providing opportunities for the exchange of knowledge that values original production, prioritizing the alignment of creations with the principles of sustainable development. It was awarded the Nodgi Pellizzetti Prize for Cultural Incentive and the Design for a Better World award from the Centro Brasil Design.
In 2022, the project was adapted to serve adolescents aged 14 to 18, and was subsequently approved by the FIA (Fund for Childhood and Adolescence) of Rio do Sul, SC. The overall objective of the proposal is to contribute to expanding opportunities for access to art, as well as training and skills development for the subsequent generation of employment and income for adolescents in situations of social vulnerability, in addition to disseminating fashion and design techniques that value original production and creations aligned with the principles of sustainability. In 2024, it was approved by the State FIA of Santa Catarina and began serving two groups of girls weekly, with an expanded team, psychological support, and new activities included.
