Mondepars at the Municipal Theatre: a Brazilian fashion dialogue

A theatre can give a fashion show a cultural frame without turning the clothes into costume. Mondepars’ second presentation, followed in WAYFARER’s June 2025 archive, used São Paulo’s Municipal Theatre as that setting.

Sasha Meneghel’s label appeared alongside a collaboration with Alexandre Birman. The source placed João Carlos Martins and an orchestra within the presentation, while Carol Trentini opened the runway. Music and the historic building became parts of the show’s structure.

The Frenchie Pump connected Birman’s footwear vocabulary with the collection. Black, Cement and Rich Brown versions carried the sculptural heel into a wardrobe described through fluid cuts and a neutral palette. The collaboration depended on the relationship between silhouettes, not simply the pairing of two names.

Bill Macintyre directed the show and Pedro Sales supplied the styling, according to the original account. Those credits situate the presentation as a coordinated work across clothing, movement and the room.

This adaptation is not a new runway review or a claim to have attended. It follows the archive’s central encounter: contemporary Brazilian fashion occupying an established São Paulo cultural institution, with the theatre’s history providing context rather than determining the limits of what could appear on its stage.
