Domitila Barros, from ‘BBB 23’, created a beachwear brand inside a violent favela and walked with pieces at Berlin Fashion Week: video

No buying designer clothes or shoes, only thrift stores, accessories and makeup that don’t compromise with the environment or pieces that don’t have or promote a story. This is the way that Domitila Barros found to remain within the principles of sustainability that she preaches so much. The “BBB 23” participant, social activist and “greenfluencer”, takes the issue so seriously that she decided to found a swimwear brand that unites social entrepreneurship and green. The business went far and she walked in a bikini at Berlin Fashion Week.

On ‘BBB 23’, Key Alves says that the breakup with Piquerez, from Palmeiras, happened because she said she would stay with the player’s friend

This happened in 2019. Domitila had just created She’s From The Jungle, (she is from the jungle in literal translation), which produces bikinis, swimsuits and biojewels with materials such as crochet and golden grass. It was the sister’s way of generating income for women in the Linha do Tiro community, in Recife, where she grew up. Many of her friends from her youth are now single mothers, unable to find a formal job.

“I decided to put together everything I like, like my social reality in Brazil, helping people and fashion. We started with ten pieces of bikini and managed to sell them in one day through social networks. From there, we started to carry out the other aspects. We added the issue of vegan biojewels because the European summer is very short and I realized that only the issue of beachwear limits us a lot”, she said, in an interview with a podcast

While Domitila is confined, the brand’s website has been temporarily disabled. But don’t be surprised if one piece or another appears on Miss Germany’s body in some moments of the program. Domitila is the biggest poster girl for what the women of the community produce. So much so that she opened and closed the Brazilian brand’s fashion show at Berlin Fashion Week. Confident, Domitila appeared in a white crochet two-piece and drew applause. Check it out in the video.
