MARCO RIBEIRO Collection VI

Marco Ribeiro presents the MARCO fall winter 2023 collection – Collection VI maRCoLOco.

Collection Notes

Marco Ribeiro is a Brazilian independent fashion designer based in Paris. For him, creating clothes is an intrinsic form of self-expression. Fashion is a personal vehicle to create the world he believes in, helping him unapologetically be himself at all times.

Exploration of Identity

MARCO RIBEIRO’s collections are fueled by how he sees and experiences life, memories, and personal exploration of identity. Some people could describe them as playful and bold, colorful and sculptural, artful and unconventional. However, these are just adjectives, labels, and categories he tries to avoid — through his clothes; he aims to disrupt himself from restrictions and social conventions of everyday life—pushing boundaries between art and fashion.

Therefore, this sixth collection continues how Marco sees the world through his clothes and the elements that identify Marco as a designer and a creative: a striking color palette, surprising patterns, sculptural shapes, and bold designs. Nonetheless, this collection is also the beginning of a journey towards finding new ways of expression – where ordinary meets the fun of living freely and extraordinarily, and self-expression becomes an attitude.

MaRCoLOco

Marco Ribeiro COLLECTION VI [maRCoLOco] was highlighted during a special installation at the Sheriff Gallery, where photography and fashion have blended to act as the catalyst that immerses you in his universe.

Along with his friends, the creative mind Naguel Rivero, and the stylist Ola Ebiti, they have developed a series of images that depict the collection worn by Dizy, Eugénio, and Eric in Jourdain in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, a familiar environment that daily surrounds Marco and his creative studio. In addition to these images, the installation includes objects, such as chairs, that aim to awaken each person’s inner child and, hopefully, disrupt the feeling of uneasy routine that is often imposed on us.

Have you ever played musical chairs?
Come by and step into the present moment. Stop to enjoy the feeling of being there, in the extraordinary quotidianity of maRCoLOco’s world.
