2002 SPRING-SUMMER MODEM COLLECTION AT SPFWN51
MODEM exhibited its collection on the second day of SPFW, bringing a clean, organic-clean aesthetic, tailoring being very present.
On Thursday, the 24th, MODEM presented the 2022 Spring-Summer collection in its sixth participation in SPFW, the second in digital format.
The collection expresses an art environment that rescues the urban and artsy essence of the brand, in organic-clean aesthetics, filled with details and color.
The color chart recreates a rainbow, with shades of pink, green and blue between earthy tones and the metallic details in the revival of the pieces.
The 2022 Spring-Summer collection promotes wide shapes, marked waist, mini lengths, and material overlays between light and structured fabrics, as well as highlights in different types of stitches and shapes elaborated in knitting.
“The collection started from the desire to bring even more comfort and versatility to the urban and sophisticated universe of the brand.”
SPFW Edition 51 takes place in digital format between June 23rd and 27th of 2021

“MODEM presented its most colorful collection, in a palette that recreates a rainbow, designed for a post-pandemic summer. The designer André Boffano (@aboffano) traveled through his creative archives, evolving and improving features that govern the DNA of the label, and took a bet on what are comfortable, versatile and timeless pieces – which came to be even more valued in the fashion industry during the quarantine period. For the first time, Modem has male models in its presentation, reaffirming André’s desire not to hold on to genders. The fashion film was set at the cultural space OLHÃO Barra Funda, and its founder, Cléo Döbberthin, made a special participation in the video.” Posted Vogue Brazil on its Instagram profile.

Modem in ELLE Magazine
In the first few minutes of conversation with Lelê Santhana of ELLE, André Boffano spills out right away: “This season, our color chart is almost like a rainbow.” Colors are not quite a trademark of Modem. During the six years since its creation, the label devoted itself to examining urban minimalism and had tailoring as the basis for its creations, with rare exceptions, relying mainly on neutral tones.
It turns out that now, amid the chaos, the possibility of seeing the brand’s aesthetic through a more vibrant lens was already a certainty for the stylist. “We always think about minimalism from a perspective of neutral colors, but there is a whole color chart behind them, and it is this rainbow that we need to see,” he says. Faced with a limited moment for the market, a change like this could sound risky for some brands, but in the case of Modem, the risk seems calculated and necessary.
While the color boosts the dichotomies set forth by the brand, the length of the skirts have shortened and tailoring begins to give way to matte details, breaking traces of rigidity and building a more fluid image. In fact, it is fluid to the point where Modem has included male models in its casting for the first time. “In the film, they’re almost about to change looks with women,” says André. According to the stylist, the intention is not to make the label unisex, but rather to prove the versatility that has always existed in his creations.
“During the pandemic, I picked up modeling from collections I had not seen in a while”
Although the novelties may seem like many, the main references for the 2022 summer collection were codes that already existed in file.
“When everything loses its meaning, there are two options: either we come back and put everything in place, or we stop. I chose to go back and put everything in place,” he concludes.
