Listen to our conversation with the creative genius of Portuguese-born, Paris-based luminary Felipe Oliveira Baptista, whose vision constantly transcends conventional boundaries between fashion and art.
Guided by the concept of freedom, his creative output reflects a life shaped by the currents of artistic autonomy. His creations embody his dedication to pioneering innovative design and his ability to interpret the world through the lens of art. Through his work as the creative director of Lacoste, the artistic director at Kenzo, and later, as the founder of his eponymous label, he has explored the ways in which one can challenge norms through fashion. In Baptista’s world, art is grounded in philosophy.
We sat down to revisit Felipe’s journey of becoming an artist and, together, reflected on the evolving nature of his inspiration, the necessity of freedom, and the enduring allure of fashion.
