From the use of ropes and wood to high collars and tattered skirts, the Pedro Lourenco SS12 Collection seems made for a seafaring adventure. In fact, it seems made for a female captain, one who hasn't left her fashionable sensibilities on land. Yes, the high heels may not seem practical on the deck of a ship at sea, but that's not the point at all, now is it.
At just 21 years of age, the Brazilian designer is quickly proving his worth with designs like the ones found in the Pedro Lourenco SS12 Collection. He has a particular focus on construction and intricate detailing that sets him apart from other designers. Eclectic and slightly eccentric, his shoes are a combination of wooden pegs and rope while other pieces are creatively layered.
