Victor Ferreira

Victor Ferreira was born in 1964 in Florianopolis, Brazil. This cosmopolitan island has a mix of beach, Atlantic rainforest, Carnival, Brazilian music and the business attitude from Sao Paulo. Victor combines all these elements to make him a fashion designer with new and unusual angles, & in most of his designs you‘ll find his passion for glam rock attitude.
Ferreira was a singer in two punk rock bands, worked as a performer for many years at the Club Roxy in Amsterdam & did freelance artistry in Milan, Berlin, Paris, Frankfurt, Brussels, Köln, Antwerp and Vienna. In 2005 he made his debut as a fashion designer in Club 11 Amsterdam, where he also made and produced this collection/show all by himself. In 2006, Ferreira designed the clothes for Brazilian performer Zuleika Zimbabue’s national tour. Recently he worked with international fashion photographer Felix Dasilva, & in 2007 he was one of 4 designers in the UFTA (Underground Fashion Talent Amsterdam) show.
"When I think of Victor, what comes to my mind? Victor for me represents more than a person, more than clothes, more than a collection. Victor is all that and more, he is a statement to ideas that do not want to back off or leave. It is firm and strong, it is made to impress and express, but it can never be repressed. Victor is more than simply a designer with balls to articulate his brains and show it so beautifully to us in his creations, he is a whole attitude turned towards the "On Stage" type of person. But when I say "On Stage" I have to be careful because the "On Stage" in this case, means more than standing in front of a crowd, it has to do with the stage inside of the mind, the person that will present his or herself consciously, unafraid and unabashed. Victor is attitude!" Fashion photographer Felix Dasilva, NY NY, USA
"I've known Victor Ferreira from the first days he started working as an on stage artist at the legendary Roxy club here in Amsterdam until his last show at the hugely popular and ultra hip night RAUW at the 11 venue above the new Museum of Modern Art in Amsterdam. His passion for the ultimate glam looks and consciousness about the effect on the less colorful crowd has always been spot on. His latest show was a huge success, combining the must-have rockstar trousers with cutting edge styling and upfront glamorous make up and hair. To me Victor is a genuine star, his clothes making everybody who wears them feel like a star." DJ Joost van Bellen, Amsterdam, NL
