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.

Fiat x Banca de Camisetas Winter 2008

As part of their strategy to stay on top of the automaker market in Brazil (in which they've been wearing the crown for several years), Fiat's been hooking up with national and international designers for seasonal runs of tees that...
Melissa Winter '08
Brazil's plastic footwear company Melissa, whose latest new collaboration was with none other than the Grande Dame of British fashion, Vivienne Westwood, is keeping it coming with some other exciting models in its upcoming Winter 2008 collection that deserve spotlights. It's proof in the plastic that the mania for their candy-scented shoes—much of them done in partnership with major designers—will once again go unrivaled....
São Paulo Fashion Week Winter 2008
The concept of designers in tropical Brazil creating winter wear might seem like an oxymoron akin to Icelandic designers pioneering summer styles. Though not entirely off the mark when it came down to execution, the fashion on the catwalks at São Paulo's Fashion Week ended up being, for the most part, mild. But credit should be given to a few choice designers who brought...
