My favourite fashion brand

Mirror Palais

Mirror Palais is a womenswear brand founded by Marcelo Gaia in 2019. I have admired Mirror Palais ever since their start up in 2019 as well as Marcelo Gaia’s former label Rose milk. Second generation immigrant Marcelo Gaia takes a femme fatal approach to his work where his garments are inspired by his female muses; Emily Ratajkowski and Jen Ceballos both women who have appeared in his collections which I have been a fan of from their independent work such as Emily Ratajkowski’s book My Body. In honour of his Brazilian heritage he includes elements of the church within his concepts, which I feel are not outdated or exclusively traditional but instead uniquely highlights the beauty in the church such as the art, community and history. The clothing pieces, particularly his collection V : The return of Glamour, take on a victorian aesthetic with modern styles of texture, line and pattern that I feel curates a nostalgic and intimate take on womenswear.
