Leblon presents Marcia Ganem

Womenswear specialist Leblon offers a collection of eveningwear by leading Brazilian designers including Marcia Ganem. Born in Bahia in the north of Brazil, Ganem uses unusual materials such as recycled car tires and seat belts which she turns into delicate fibres and ornate details. She is also very strong in intricate craft work using techniques such as macramé, and plays with the effects of semi-precious stones which are cleverly knotted into her fabrics. The designer is now part of a select group that participates in Fashion Rio, Rio de Janeiro’s fashion week. Leblon is the only supplier of the Marcia Ganem collection in the UK.
