D’Oro Wear, The Innovative Fashion Artist
Bridging the gap between clothing and jewelry, D’oro wear makes handmade pieces. The Brazilian based artist, whose Instagram handle is @danisleao, crafts intricate shirts, dresses, bralettes, and jewelry using chainmail, beading, and embroidery. Her work has been featured in Glamour Brazil, and she has created custom pieces worn by various celebrities at events like Coachella and Paris Fashion Week.
Each of her pieces are unique and incredibly carefully crafted. One dress, a chainmail set with emeraldine gems dripping luxuriously from it, refracting sunlight, took 73 hours to create. This was a custom piece for Madeleine White, worn at Coachella this last May.
Her chainmail pieces are perhaps her most popular, their vibe varying from opulently disco to sexy with a medieval twist. These pieces, however, are not all that the artist creates. She is not afraid of using color and getting playful with her work. She has chainmail pieces adorned with little trinkets and toys, mini coca cola bottles, ice cream cones, donuts, and popcorn. In her most recent drop (d’rop), she has also created tops made of colorful plastic beads instead of metal, as well as mesh tops embroidered with motifs like cherries, eyes, or chile peppers.
For an artist whose work is already so sought after, D’oro has an interesting business model. The company conducts all of its sales through Instagram DM, a seasonal lookbook available for perusal on Google Docs, accessed through a linktree in the @dorowear Instagram bio.
D’oro wear emphasizes artistry and individuality in fashion in an incredibly refreshing way. She is reaching a level of success with her custom pieces that allows her to explore mediums and styles that she wants. The brand’s clothing and jewelry is unique and innovative, which is exactly what the fashion world needs right now.
