What is Ricardo Almeida?
Ricardo Almeida is a Brazilian fashion brand led by stylist Ricardo Almeida, whose career spans more than 43 years, including three decades of runway shows. The house established itself in classic men's tailoring, the segment with which it remains most closely associated.
Products and positioning
Alongside its core men's suits, the brand has broadened its offer:
- Men's tailoring, including suits in brighter colours and vivid tones
- Women's tailoring that borrows elements traditionally associated with menswear
- RA2, a younger line of deconstructed tailoring with less structured pieces and different materials and constructions
RA2 is driven by the next generation, including Ricardo Almeida's children and Gabriel Pascolato, as the business prepares to appeal to new generations without abandoning tailoring.
History
In 2026 the brand celebrated its trajectory with a runway show titled Raízes in São Paulo. It has also renewed its visual identity and announced an expansion into hospitality.
Why it matters
Ricardo Almeida shows how an established Brazilian tailoring house is managing succession and relevance, introducing a younger line and new categories while protecting its core craft.
