Who am I?

I’m Belchior, a Brazilian fashion designer and artist with a strong passion for sustainability, identity, and creativity. With experience in artistic direction, styling, and the second-hand sector, I specialize in working with deadstock materials to create unique, adaptable designs that celebrate individuality and diversity. My approach is deeply influenced by queer, fun, and punk aesthetics, and I believe fashion should empower people to express themselves freely.

 A truly interdisciplinary immersion

One of the great strengths of the ENAMOMA master's degree is its interdisciplinary approach. The courses are not limited to fashion in the strict sense: they encompass disciplines such as design, management, engineering and even ethics and sustainability. For example, the design sessions are enriched by courses on the sustainable supply chain, helping us to better understand the environmental impacts of our choices as designers.

This diversity has allowed me to approach fashion from a new angle, where every step of the design process is influenced by sustainable and ethical choices. The alternation between theoretical courses and practical work allows the knowledge acquired to be applied immediately. This format has also allowed me to continuously evolve, test ideas and learn from my mistakes.

Daring to experiment: my first-year exploration

During the first year of the Masters, the interventions were organized in blocks. Business Basics, Climate Frisk, Multidisciplinary Projects with other masters’ students from PSL and, naturally, our dissertation. In the creative aspect of the first year, we were all the time encouraged to experiment with different materials (e.g. ), finishings and processes. It was a mix between art and sustainability that I found interesting. That’s why it’s important to see this formation as an opportunity to develop a project that you know and discover or have contact with new things.

Bringing ideas to life: my second-year personal project

On the other hand, during the second year of the master's degree, we were much more independent and focused on our own personal projects. In my case, my creative project and all my products and solutions developments. I had the time to organize my own schedule to work on my research pieces. Still doing my apprenticeship, I had to be very motivated and organized all the time.

My initial idea with the creative project was to create a service that could be applied to different customers in the future, always connected with sustainability, which is what I hold dear. I proposed a fashion brand that can operate independently but also for clients who want to develop its more sustainable, accessible and even political side. was showcased in an exhibition at the end of the Master’s program, alongside the work of other students, offering a unique opportunity to share my vision with a broader audience.

My collaborative design journey: embracing diversity, shaping creativity

The ENAMOMA master's degree attracts students from all over the world, making it an incredibly diverse environment. Working with students with different cultures and visions is a real richness. This mix not only allowed me to broaden my perspectives but also pushed me to find a common language with my colleagues, even if our initial approaches were sometimes very different.

The group projects thus become a space for cultural and creative exchange, where everyone can learn from each other. During a design workshop, for example, I collaborated with an Asian student who was passionate about digital fashion, who introduced our team to new 3D design technologies. This experience changed my vision of fashion by adding a digital dimension to my approach as a designer.

Multiple opportunities at ENAMOMA

• Exhibition Schiaparelli at the
  Our visit to the Decorative Arts Museum was amazing. Despite Schiaparelli’s difficulty in drawing, she managed to reach other levels of creation, composition and execution, going through the paths of marketing and communication.  Her lesson—never give up, even when starting from scratch—is more relevant than ever in today’s fashion world.
   
• Medicine and sustainable fashion
  Lou-Anne develops and applies technology in the hospital environment. She even showed us something very important that we usually don't pay much attention to as creative professionals: the technical documentation of her blankets. A pearl of a document! Without a doubt, this was the most inspiring case of our entire day of visits.
   
• Historical Fashion
  Professor Guénolé was one of the most impressive, passionate and energetic people I have had the pleasure to listen to in the last few years. She introduced us to art pieces alongside fashion creations, which may seem quite obvious to outsiders, but as she herself said, "our references are what make our work relevant." It was inspiring to understand the connections she found between different periods of history and how designers were able to make reinterpretations within their own collections and identities.
   
• Work experience
  My experience athas been a rewarding adventure in many ways. ���ڲ����󾱴Dz�’s mission is to prevent and manage the end of life of clothing textiles, household linen and footwear (TLC, in French) on the French market, by supporting collection, repair and reuse. I worked there as Assistant Reuse within the “perma-circular” division. I conducted over 50 visits to the second-hand sector. It was a great opportunity to see this sector in real life, how it works and how Refashion (and citizens) can make better choices for a brighter future in fashion.  The skills I developed, the challenges I overcame, and the lessons learned at ���ڲ����󾱴Dz�’s helped shape my professional and personal perspective.
   
• Visite of
  Though I can’t go into all the details, we visited incredible places like the Alaïa Foundation, the Whole Garden, and Le Relais Val de Seine in Paris. We also explored Roubaix, Lyon, and numerous local museums—something I truly enjoy. But the highlight of the entire master’s experience was our trip to Milan for the ITMA fair. If you're interested in the industrial side of fashion, I highly recommend checking out the event!

Advice for Prospective Students

• #1 : Be Curious: Open-mindedness and curiosity are essential in such an interdisciplinary environment. Take advantage of each class to explore topics that you wouldn't have covered otherwise. Talk to the speakers. This is important to create a bond, mainly for international students.

• #2 : Embrace Diversity: working with international profiles is a major asset of this training. Be willing to listen and learn from others, because everyone brings something unique to the table and the end result is always more interesting if you can mix all your strengths.

• #3 : Take Initiative: The master's degree encourages autonomy, so don't hesitate to propose projects and explore your own ideas. It is by taking risks that we learn the most. There is no less interesting project or questions that should not be asked. Create your own storytelling and don't hesitate to have a good time with your project.

ENAMOMA is not only a fashion master, but a human and cultural adventure that transforms the way we approach creation. For those who want to combine innovation, international culture and sustainable commitment, this program is an ideal gateway into the world of borderless fashion.
