PETALS OF PERCEPTION Digital Fashion & 3D Art Exploration PETALS OF PERCEPTION is an original exploration of identity and the emotions that take shape within us. Through the language of 3D, organic forms that emerge from the body symbolize internal emotional states as they become visible and transform. The space present in the project is not understood as absence, but as fertile ground for creation and transformation. It is where emotions and memories evolve, unfold, and flourish—revealing the continuous process of self-reconstruction. The choice of materials establishes a dialogue with human emotional experience: leather, firm and protective, represents strength and resilience; while lace, delicate and translucent, introduces vulnerability and emotional openness. Together, these contrasts express the complexity of inner life. The flowers that emerge from the neck and back act as visual metaphors for unseen emotions that take shape and become present. They symbolize growth, transformation, and the expansion of identity. The Color Palette..... ...it traverses an emotional spectrum: the serenity of candy blue, the grounding presence of brown, the depth of navy blue, and the subtle vulnerability of nude. Each shade reflects a different state within our inner landscape. Petals of Perception is... More than an aesthetic exploration, it is an invitation to introspection — a reflection on how what exists within us gradually reveals itself, transforming into form, presence, and expression. Where design meets the complexity of feeling! TO GO BACK

About With over 12 years of experience creating bespoke wedding and formal dresses, Erika Magalhães has built a career marked by artistic sensibility, technical precision, and a profoundly human approach to fashion. At the helm of her own atelier, she created exclusive pieces that transformed dreams into fabric, cultivating lasting relationships with her clients—bonds that remain strong to this day. Her signature has always been the rare combination of technical mastery, attentive listening, and the ability to translate personal stories into unique designs. Each dress she creates carries carefully considered details that reflect not only skill, but a deep understanding of what it means to dress someone for a significant moment. It was through this experience with the construction and transformation of clothing that Erika discovered the world of 3D fashion design. Her first contact with this technology sparked a new perspective on the creative process and opened up possibilities that went far beyond the traditional development of a garment. Enchanted by the ability to transform ideas into digital shapes, volumes, and structures, Erika immersed herself in CLO 3D and began to deeply explore modeling, garment construction, and realistic fabric simulation. Since then, she has been continuously improving her skills through studies and courses offered by CLO and its partners. Today, her creative approach stems precisely from this encounter between the experience built in traditional fashion and the possibilities of the digital universe. 3D has become not only a work tool, but a new way of thinking, experimenting and developing fashion, connecting technique, creativity, innovation and a broader vision of the future of clothing design.
