Tropicalia is a study of South American botanical elements and natural textures.
This design was created for a silk scarf, featuring a balanced composition and rich tropical elements.
By rethinking the scale and proportions of the design, it becomes adaptable to garments, especially linen, enhancing the natural texture and flow of the fabric. This mock-up was realized using artificial intelligence.
This moodboard explores a visual research inspired by the South American jungle, interpreted through a vibrant and culturally rich color palette typical of Brazilian carioca aesthetics.
The project includes a research into landscapes and materials such as linen, appreciated for its freshness and natural feel.
It draws inspiration from brands such as Farm Rio, blending tropical nature, bold colors, and expressive patterns into a contemporary and lively visual direction.
Work in progress focused on the initial outline stage and the development of individual elements. Each botanical component is drawn separately in Procreate, starting from clean linework to build structure and definition before composition.
Final composition bringing together the developed elements into a clear and cohesive design, translating the initial concept into a composition suitable for an accessory.
