Descricão e Informacões AdicionaisThis paper aims at analyzing the Lusophone cultural influences in Brazil, fashion forms identities, implying also the European domination. The Portuguese evolutionary enigma fashion in the country divided the society between masters and slaves. It also represented social classes and genders since the colonization. The Brazilian indigenous and afro-descendents people inherited the Lusophone customs which brought ideological conflicts in an emergent society forced to change its natural clothing, behavior and religious symbols. Clothing also represented a social factor that integrated people or kept aside specific classes, gender, implying a code of conduct in the coffee and sugar plantation regions in the Northeast of Brazil. Nowadays, the cultural diplomacy fashion in a world without borders represents the huge transformations that have occurred over time in a world that is more and more capitalist and globalized. Ethnic groups receive fashion influences from the elite, which transforms social practices, portraying a society that lives in the roundabouts of the cities, in slums, where music, religion, festivities cross the frontiers and show the essence of multiculturalism distinctions. The cultural diplomacy undertaken by the Brazilian government is a tool for promoting the country abroad. The Brazilian foreign policy and culture are part of a State project that seeks the national development through the promotion of cultural diversity.
