Dividing her time between São Paulo and Buenos Aires, Argentine multi-artist Sol Alac cannot find peace. After dressing artists from the Brazilian music scene, such as Maria Gadú and Criolo, to name a few – and even international stars (like the singing twins Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Díaz from the Franco-Cuban duo Ibeyi, for an Emicida music video) – her jumpsuit brand, Eyddos, ended up in an art gallery.
And not just because of her good relationship with music. With a heart from Minas Gerais, Sol offered coats and jumpsuits to be transformed into canvases in a collaboration with Mendes Wood DM Gallery in São Paulo.
Brazilian and Argentine artists have signed a capsule collection of just over 10 unique and numbered pieces. “I always say that Eyddos is the art of dressing. What we are proposing is not fashion, but something else. I don’t see it being sold in a shopping mall,” Sol argues in a conversation with Bazaar in São Paulo, at the apartment-studio of artist Marina Perez Simão.
Also part of this experiment are Brazilian Paulo Nimer Pjota and the hermanos Juan Stoppani and Ines Raltieri. The starting point was freedom, a blank canvas. “As they took different colors, each one interpreted it in the best way,” Sol boasts.
