The person and the label

Who is behind Dendezeiro?

Hisan Silva and Pedro Batalha started Dendezeiro in 2019 because they could not find clothes cut for Black bodies in a fashion scene they saw as white and Eurocentric, ELLE Brasil reported; internal and external ties make the pieces adjustable. After three editions of Casa de Criadores, the Salvador label joined SPFW in June 2022 with a fashion film shot in Bahia. Its N61 collection in October 2026, Oração de barbearia, drew on Brazilian women in hip-hop; ELLE notes that in the past year it also made its Rio Fashion Week debut and its first international show, in Italy.
