From Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the fashion industry moves to Sao Paulo for South America’s largest fashion showcase, which ran through June 22. Showing more of the muted colors we saw in Rio and piquing our interest with fabrics and accessories, the Brazilian designers show that we can no longer make assumptions about the clothing designs coming from Brazil. We can only look forward with anticipation to their expressions of the current fashion trends.
