Melissa Araujo is a designer who remains loyal to her vision of functionality, versatility, authenticity and quality. Seeking out beauty and refinement in what for most is considered dark and surreal in the portrayal of female longing to feel different, and to escape routine. She creates a series of garments which is never quite what it seems, with ambitious pieces that can be worn from many different ways to fulfill anyone’s desire.

Melissa Araujo manipulates traditional garments into playful pieces in proportion and placement, embracing the imaginary between dark colours, constructive lines and the femininity of fluid draping. She displays an ability that combines structure and flow, which illustrates her talent and imagination.
