Oi darlings from Rio! I couldn't wait to share some of the collections at FashionRio Verão/Summer 2011that I liked, please note my fotos {backstage + a few runway shots} will be added later this week here. FashionRio has been cool, despite the funky weather. From Walter Rodrigues' ethnic infused collection with gorgeous earth tones, and models to match the beautiful arrays of brown. To Maria Bonita Extra offering-up some snazzy printed pieces, to Acquastudio, which took us on a sculptural journey. And Totem with their cute printed dresses. There were pieces form each that I liked. All of which I'm sharing below, and all of who have been shared in my "Discover Brasil" series sans Rodrigues.
Acquastudio is a favourite of mines, as I've written about them a few times. They break-up the print drenched inspiration that many designers were on. For Acquastudio it was all about the pleats, tucks, ruffles being molded into sculptural shapes for the body.
I haven't featured a Totem collection in a long time, so it's with pleasure that I share these pieces that caught my eye during the show.
Maria Bonita Extra, who I've featured more than once had pretty pops of silky colour. And they kept with their them of mixing prints with pieces you wouldn't expect.
