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.

The brand is well-known and loved in Brazil (famous fans including singers Zélia Duncan and Marisa Monte), with a flagship shop in the ultra-chic Oscar Freire street in São Paulo. It’s also very pink, and we like that!

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...]

They sell it as an “all-encompassing experience for the luxury brand’s enthusiasts” and it is certainly a well-judged app. [Read more...]

Nope.

I was always the kid who had bistec (steak), rice and maduros (fried plantains).

How ethnic! How embarrassing! [Read more...]
