Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Premiere: Osklen SS13

0

Our dream is to one day sip a caipirinha along the coastline in Rio with a saucer-shaped straw hat atop our tresses, clad in a body-con dress, with our over-sized Aviators upon our perfectly lined, in liquid noir, eyes gazing into the sunset…

…until such time we can embrace Osklen’s SS13 collection, which oozed every ounce of an “endless summer.”

Backstage at New York Fashion Week FW12: Carlos Miele’s Redken Hair

0

Brazilian born Carlos Miele is one of my favourite designers and I was in absolute awe at his Fall/Winter 2012 show this season at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

For his collection, inspired by the south winds of Rio, Miele enlisted Rodney Cutler of Redken to style his models with feminine and casual elegance.

To be quite honest, the entire show had me singing Paula Fernandes’ “Canções do vento Sul.”

… and I adore Fernandes, so I was a very happy girl during Miele’s entire runway presentation.

The final product was to vie for!

Anunciacao Shop in Sao Paulo

The Little Pink Blog loves Brazilian fashion, and we love to bring you some of the beautiful designs and collections that usually stay under the radar outside of Brazil. One such hidden gem is Anunciação, headed by designer Maria Elvira Crosara, who started the label in 1988.

So as we build up to the next edition of São Paulo Fashion Week, we got an exclusive interview with Maria Elvira, who tells us about the inspiration behind her prints, patterns and designs. [Read more...]

Being green is one of those things – like eating healthily – that we all want to do but don’t always get around to. Recycling can be time-consuming, and researching which products are the most eco-friendly or ethically produced takes time that busy women with jobs might not have.

And for the fashion-savvy, the idea of actually wearing your recycling could seem like a step too far, but fear not. A hot new trend from Brazil is transforming humble soda can ring pulls into fashion must-haves, being extensively featured in the fashion press, including Elle Magazine. [Read more...]
