Frescobol Carioca x John Booth
Frescobol Carioca unveils its early release of the Pre-Spring 2025 collection in collaboration with London-based multidisciplinary artist, John Booth. Known for his vibrant creative expression, Booth draws inspiration from the Brazilian sun, sea, and scenery, channeling the lively essence of Rio de Janeiro.
The collection is anchored by summer sets in unique, vibrant combinations. A first for Frescobol Carioca, the fine linen ready-to-wear line features a bold scenic stamp, available in two distinct colorways. In swimwear, Booth reinvents the bestselling sport fit with a kaleidoscopic take on the Copacabana wave, crafted from the brand’s signature recycled materials.
Transitional pieces include the cotton Rosa t-shirt, adorned with a sunset over Sugarloaf Mountain, and 100% silk scarves that capture the collection’s themes in full-bleed. Accessories such as a cotton tote bag and the iconic frescobol bats highlight spirited floral designs, reflecting Brazil’s natural beauty.
Booth expresses his enthusiasm for the project, saying, “It was so nice to return to designing textile prints for this project with Frescobol Carioca. The prints for the collection are a direct translation of my drawings, based on capturing brightness and joy.”
This collaboration marks Frescobol Carioca's inaugural Artist in Residence, celebrating their artisanal heritage.
The Frescobol Carioca x John Booth collection launches on Thursday, August 1st.
