Maldito is a response to my inner questionings not only on the fashion industry but also on the way I want to move on with my gender issues and how they reflect my art. The fashion branch of the project was born in June 2022 in a special capsule collection for Lafayette Anticipations, as a response to the pause I wanted to make with Neith Nyer and how I wanted to express myself through multiple art forms. – Francisco Terra
Maldito’s second collection, Batkoeur, Love in Your Living Room, is an open letter to love and how Francisco Terra, the designer, found his safe place in his new home, a metaphor for his new life.
The shapes and materials of his looks are directly inspired by the renovations he did and the moments he spent there, like a witch dress made of construction carpet or a cigarette carpet-dress that reminds the Marlboro smugglers of his neighborhood. This collection is the story of his new life, his new home, his new identity, his new brand that evolves organically with him.
