PAPER
Word of Mouth

After six days, five nights, and one (hot!) date, I'm back from the lovely city of Sao Paulo! I spent the majority of my time attending shows for Sao Paulo Fashion Week, a sartorial extravaganza punctuated with excessive appearances by telenovela stars, excessive pints of Nova Chin tropical lager and excessive use of accessories in the audience and on the catwalk. The lowlights aside, I absolutely fell in love with the fashion scene out there. Overall, the collections were vibrant and infused with many elements of Brazilian culture from fabrics to colors. Besides, the obvious, Alexandre Herchcovitch, the other standout collections included Osklen, Maria Bonita and Neon. Check out some of my favorite looks from each brand to see why. In the end, I didn't find my 56-yea-old Brazilian billionaire but I did discover amazing brands I'll continue to support. One out of two ain't bad, right?
