Ludmilla Heringer: Slow Fashion Rooted in Nature

09/22/2025

The World Sustainability Organization returns to centre stage during the days of Milan Fashion Week with a collective runway show featuring 13 carefully selected brands, ready to unveil their new Spring/Summer 2026 collections.

The event will take place on Thursday, 25 September at 5 pm at the Istituto dei Ciechi in Milan, a symbolic venue that will host this important occasion dedicated to sustainable fashion.

The show is held under the banner of the Friend of the Earth certification, an international programme that sets rigorous sustainability standards for the fashion industry. This certification ensures transparency and accountability across the entire supply chain, promoting environmentally responsible practices. Through Friend of the Earth, the WSO is committed to guiding the industry towards a more conscious future, collaborating with brands that share values of sustainability and innovation.

One of the featured brands in the 4th edition of “Beyond the Claim Sustainable Fashion Show” is Ludimila.

Ludimila’s participation in the show is supported by Texbrasil — the Brazilian Textile and Fashion Industry Internationalization Program — the result of a partnership between Abit (Brazilian Textile and Apparel Industry Association) and ApexBrasil (Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency).

Ludimila Heringer is a slow fashion label that champions a more sustainable approach to style, drawing inspiration from the strength of nature and the artistry of craftsmanship. Using natural dyes and botanical prints created through chemical-free, artisanal processes, Ludimila designs unique garments that honour both individuality and the environment.

The fabrics selected are certified and designed to decompose quickly back into the soil, minimising environmental impact. The brand’s research delves into Amazonian resources such as Brazil nut, andiroba, copaíba, pariri and urucum, while remaining open to experimenting with flora from across Brazil and beyond.

Ludimila also celebrates traditional handcraft techniques including crochet, macramé and embroidery, blending haute couture precision, timeless silhouettes and premium textiles to create garments rich in personality, beauty and longevity.

The collection features collaborations with the brands Brilho da Mata Joalheria and Coobay.
