The Brazilian Association of Fashion Designers created in 2003 aims to strengthen and promote Brazilian design and fashion. Its main purpose is to boost the development of Brazilian brands that have international reach and promote Brazilian lifestyle, thus contributing to the growth of all segments linked to the fashion industry.
ABEST is an environment where its associates can exchange information and experience and aims to meet their individual needs by providing training programs, market data, product promotion and identifying business opportunities both in Brazil and abroad.
“Our mission is to be a global spokesperson for Brazilian Fashion Design, using the country’s creative diversity as an element of integration, as well as a “way of aggregating value and translating society’s cultural transformation.”
