For our Pre-Spring 26 collection, we journey back to our Origens. Stepping back in time to Rio de Janeiro in the 1940s where the rise of modernism began to define the landscape of the ‘Cidade Maravilhosa as we know it today. Simultaneously with the inception of the game of frescobol, the career of Oscar Niemeyer, one of Brazil’s most impactful architects, had begun.

Born in São Paulo, Brazil, and later moving to Rio in 1913, Burle Marx had an upbringing rooted deeply in creativity; he began...
