VEJA

Veja is a Portuguese word form meaning "to see," and it is used as the name for several distinct subjects in media and business.

Veja (magazine) refers to a Brazilian weekly news magazine published by Editora Abril. Established in 1968, it has become one of the country’s most widely circulated periodicals and is known for covering politics, economics, culture, and current affairs. The magazine has played a significant role in Brazilian journalism, including investigative reporting, and has navigated the country’s changing political landscape over the decades.

Veja (footwear) refers to a French fashion brand established in 2004 by designers Sébastien Kopp and François-Gabriel Perez. VEJA produces sneakers that emphasize transparency and sustainability, using materials such as organic cotton and rubber from the Amazon. The company aims to trace supply chains and improve environmental and social outcomes in its production, with manufacturing centered in Brazil and other locations. VEJA has gained international recognition within the sustainable fashion sector for its minimalist design and commitment to ethical sourcing.

In addition to these uses, Veja remains a commonly encountered Portuguese verb form; veja can function as the imperative or subjonctive mood of ver (to see), commonly appearing in everyday language and captions to mean "look" or "see." The term thus covers both a major Brazilian publication and a modern European footwear brand, among other linguistic uses.
