Read more about Geova Rodrigues' career and the social significance of his designs below:
Born in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte, Geová Rodrigues is globally known for his contribution to the fashion industry through upcycling.
According to Geova, this practice of creating something new from something old has been passed down to him through generations. His mother would repurpose household items like old agate pots into flower vases and the clothes of his older siblings, bringing something new to the younger ones.
Geova moved to Sao Paulo in the 1980s and started as a visual artist, holding exhibits for the "Conexão Urbana" between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Always promoting recycling, the discarded materials from the trendy Oscar Freire street served as the raw materials for his artworks.
In 1998, Geova made his New York Fashion Week debut, and in 2001, he opened his atelier in the East Village.
Geova continues to source materials from thrift and vintage stores, buying one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, receiving fabrics from designer friends, and creating new custom articles you can feel good wearing.
He will be exhibiting some of his fashion items at the United Nations in February and teaching Brazil's first class on upcycling at the Belas Artes University, in Sao Paulo.
