GoSee member TWO PALMS was on a mission at the beach in Rio de Janeiro as the local Production Company for a FRESCOBOL CARIOCA menswear shoot. The campaign was photographed by Alex Bramall entirely in line with the style of the brand – cool, active & always friendly. Before his successful career as a photographer, the London-based fashion and portrait specialist worked several years as art director and in the Art department of British Vogue. In creation was Art Director Shem Jacobs, also from London, and making a perfect appearance in front of the camera with the new Summer collection was Pedro Aboud c/o Mega Models. The producer was Pawel Walicki from Warsaw Creatives. We present you the photos and videos here on GoSee.
"Frescobol Carioca’s offerings are the embodiment of Rio’s laid-back spirit, proving you can live like a Carioca wherever you are." Frescobol Carioca has stores in London’s Marylebone, Soho and Notting Hill, is sold by more than 250 luxury retailers including Harrods, Selfridges, Le Bon Marché or Barneys and has collaborations with resorts and brands from Eden Rock Hotel, Louis Vuitton to Hôtel Costes and Le Club 55.
"Frescobol perfectly embodies the Rio way of life: cool, active and always friendly. Unlike other bat-and-ball games, frescobol players are partners rather than opponents who, with a non-competitive spirit, work together to keep the ball in the air for as long as possible. With two or more players facing each other, the aim of this elegant game is to maintain a rally. It can be played in any open area, although if one is in Rio, it is best enjoyed on Copacabana or Ipanema beach as the sun sets behind the twin peaks of the Morro Dois Irmãos. To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the game’s invention in 2015, frescobol was awarded Intangible Heritage Status alongside bossa nova and samba, reflecting its contribution to the cultural landscape of Rio. Our brand was born in honor of this sport and the culture it represents."
