KAROLINE VITTO

Brazil

The Brazilian creative director Karoline Vitto accentuates the curves and celebrates the folds, placing the body in the centre of the design process. With a postgraduate degree from Central Saint Martins and a master’s in fashion from the Royal College of Art, the designer works with the juxtaposition of jersey, knitwear, and metal in clean, sensual, and assertive cuts. The designer debuted her first collection at the Fashion East incubator in 2022, during London Fashion Week.

After two shows on the platform, she was invited by Dolce&Gabbana to showcase at Milan Fashion Week with full support from the Italian label. She established herself as a global reference in fashion for diverse bodies, being recognised by Vogue Business as the most inclusive brand of all fashion weeks in Winter 23 and Summer 24. A member of renowned lists such as Dazed100 and Vogue 100, the designer has won the Emerging Designer of the Year award at the Latin American Fashion Awards in 2023. Karoline was the first Brazilian female designer to be a semi-finalist for the LVMH Prize (2024) and has dressed names such as Ashley Graham, Precious Lee, Paloma Elsesser, and Kelly Rowland.
