Following the photography exhibition at Nova SBE, Capítulo Perfeito surf competition continues to celebrate its 10th anniversary with unique initiatives. The event organisers have teamed up with the Portuguese brand 58SURF to create a capsule clothing collection.
Designed by artist Mário Belém, the pieces aim to reflect the "free and distinctive spirit" of surf culture, according to the Capítulo Perfeito's statement. The collection includes three unisex items - a sweatshirt (€50), a hoodie (€60), and a T-shirt (€30) - available in both white and black.
The clothing line can be purchased online or at various 58SURF stores. 5% of the sales will go to Surfrider Portugal, an organisation dedicated to protecting and conserving oceans, beaches, and coastal areas through educational and environmental actions.
Mário Belém drew inspiration from the fictional characters of the "gods of surfing" to create these pieces. "These gods aren’t perfect, but rather a celebration of the quirky expressions and unique vocabulary we find on beaches and among surfers. It’s a way of capturing the lightheartedness and fun of surfing without losing its authenticity", explains the illustrator.
