Freakstyle by Phuong-Cac Nguyen

Freakstyle, a street fashion blog to record the looks of São Paulo's most hip and hot, is the brainchild of three professionals working in the São Paulo fashion world, visual merchandiser Paula Reboredo, journalist Maira Goldschmidt and photo consultant Gilberto Franca. Naturally tapped into the type of circles where peeping their fellow Brazilians' style makes parties a lot more entertaining, the project aims to nail the South American city onto the worldwide street fashion map like Fruits and Street Peeper have done. Showing an international audience what they personally consider is a fabulous style sensibility mixed with the right amount of attitude, the trio on a daily basis navigate the streets and scenes of São Paulo, from club to amusement parks and street fairs, documenting their finds and making new friends. They unabashedly star in some of the photos themselves, because they, after all, are as much a part of the street fashion that inspires them and their blog.

Lane Marinho Accessories
São Paulo-based Lane Marinho's marvelous eponymous accessories line is a new takes on classic brooches and necklaces. Painstakingly constructed by hand—in some cases taking more than an entire day to finish just one—her Rococo-inspired creations are stunning examples of her close study of sewing and embroidery. Marinho cites the concept of nature's Golden Ratio as it relates to plants and flowers to explain some...
Rödel Latin America
Helen Rödel is positively masterful at knitwear. The crocheted dresses made under her signature Rödel Latin America line are carefully constructed by hand, with no help or finishes done by a sewing machine whatsoever. This obvious dedication to quality that is only surpassed by the design of the dresses themselves is what makes her one of the most promising underground designers in Brazil I've...
B.Luxo Store
Adding to the list of São Paulo's top 2008 success stories, the duo behind the Freakstyle street fashion blog and sought-after B.Luxo Vintage store have just opened another boutique, this time under a strictly conceptual guise. The idea is that they pick out only a handful of national apparel and accessories designers—like Rödel LA and Andre Lacerdo—who aren't selling in any other stores, as...
