Iguatemi Talks will feature Giambattista Valli and Molly Rogers

Brazilian luxury retail giant Iguatemi has announced the participation of celebrated designer Giambattista Valli in the ninth edition of Iguatemi Talks Fashion.

Iguatemi Talks Fashion is Brazil's leading fashion and creative industry conference, scheduled for October 21-22, at the high-luxury JK Iguatemi shopping center in São Paulo, the country's largest city.

Known for his innovative and highly romantic designs, Valli has long captivated global audiences. In addition, it maintains a close link with Brazil: it invited the Rio-born actress and style icon Marina Ruy Barbosa to close its 2023 Haute Couture show in Paris. Valli also recently designed local TV host and star Sabrina Sato's wedding dress.

Joining him on stage will be Molly Rogers, the Emmy-winning costume designer behind Sex & the City, And Just Like That and the upcoming The Devil Wears Prada sequel. Along with Paolo Nieddu, the pair created the costumes for Empire and The United States vs. Billie Holiday. Together, the duo will discuss the art of costume design and its influence on fashion and global storytelling.

Since its launch, Iguatemi Talks Fashion has become the main platform for conversations between fashion, entertainment and culture in Latin America. The two-day event brings together more than 70 global speakers and more than 7,000 in-person attendees each year.

Previous participants include Bella Freud, Olivier Rousteing, Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri. With the mission of transforming knowledge into experience, the conference highlights Brazil's growing influence within the international fashion landscape.
