Túlio Barnabé is a Brazilian print designer with more than ten years of experience in the Brazilian womenswear, beachwear, and resort market. He currently leads a Brazilian R&D team with outsourced production in Asia, involved at every stage from concept to final approval. His work centres on what he describes as "brasilidade contemporânea" - technically refined collections with a distinct Brazilian identity.
Barnabé's collections combine hand-drawn artistry with contemporary print finishing. Named works span tropical and botanical motifs (Coleção Arara Bordada, Coleção Lagartos do Cerrado, Máxi Lírios), liberty-referencing florals, and resort-ready engineered prints. Corredor dos Sonhos, a documented collection, describes layered portals, artisanal florals, and contemporary graphics in guava pink, saffron, azulejo blue, and aqua green - suited to resort, beach, and urban contexts. The portfolio features naturalistic hand-drawn motifs digitally prepared for production.
Hand-drawn motif development with digital finishing. Trend research conducted via WGSN and Première Vision trade shows. Full-process fluency from sketch through colourway construction and production liaison.
National Brazilian womenswear, beachwear, and resort brands. No specific client names documented.
Graduated in Product Design; postgraduate qualification in Fine Arts. Studied in Brazil and at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) via the Ciência sem Fronteiras scholarship programme. Has worked in Brazilian fashion print for over ten years.
Tropical florals, botanical compositions, liberty prints, paisley, and engineered panel prints (cangas, lenços). Collections draw on Brazilian natural and cultural material - fauna, landscape, and artisanal references - translated into production-ready artwork.
