Label Text:Patricia Bonaldi designs a couture line and a ready-to-wear line called PatBo. For this ready-to-wear ensemble, she used couture techniques, hand-stitching individual plastic petals to create a sea of blooming flowers. With her husband, Bonaldi formed the Nohda group, which mentors and finances emerging Brazilian designers, such as Apartamento03 and Lucas Magalhães.
