Charaf Tajer, the creative force behind Casablanca, took audiences on a vibrant journey to Brazil for his Spring 2027 Ready-to-Wear collection. Titled “Amor e Progresso,” a playful nod to the Brazilian flag's motto, the collection was a deeply personal exploration of Tajer's past and present, infused with the rich culture of Brazil. The inspiration for this collection began close to home.
Growing up in Belleville, Tajer was fascinated by the striking Oscar Niemeyer-designed headquarters of the French Communist Party. This architectural marvel, a constant presence during his childhood, sparked a reflection on his own evolution.
Returning to this iconic location for the show, Tajer shared, "I never knew what it was," referring to the building in his youth, and now sees his journey shaped by "travel, art, design, architecture, everything." This sense of forward movement was brilliantly projected onto Niemeyer's home country, Brazil.
The collection itself was a vivid tapestry of Brazilian references, broadcast with joyful exuberance.
Expect to see old-school soccer shirts, caps in the iconic green and yellow, and even a surfboard! Retro lace-tied boardshorts, lush tropical flowers, and intriguing snakeskin-effect inserts on tracksuits and leather jackets brought a dynamic edge. Crochet swimwear and plenty of silky shirting and scarf dressing showcased Casablanca's signature saturated color palette, which has always been a core part of its aesthetic.
Tajer's long-standing "obsession with Brazil" was evident in every detail.
Spiraling crochet motifs were expertly pieced together in stunning halter dresses and separates.
Checks transitioned seamlessly through green, yellow, and cream gradients, while knitted T-shirts, polos, and shorts were washed in beautifully graduated colors.
Embroidered tropical orchids bloomed across a fringed bustier, acted as a modest accent on the closing one-shoulder gown, and adorned other pieces throughout the collection, adding a touch of exotic elegance. The presentation was as immersive as the designs.
Models gracefully circled a constructed patch of the Amazon, all set to a specially mixed Brazilian soundtrack that Tajer humorously noted was "impossible to successfully Shazam." This thoughtful curation made the show an "undemanding and literal" guided tour of Copacabana tropes, all viewed through the distinctive and luxurious lens of Casablanca. It's clear that with “Amor e Progresso,” Tajer not only celebrates Brazil but also his own remarkable journey of growth and creativity.
