First Spring!

Instead of just shooting their menswear campaign with a famous photographer Miuccia hired Yang Fudong to direct a short film and the stills of this movie where turned into a campaign. Very clever, isnt it?

The boys of Miuccia.

Prada's fall 2011 menswear show was delightfull. Full of desirable pieces everyguy will want to have in their closet. The brand also released a you tube channel, and this season it was the first time they broadcast their runway show live through their website. When a label as big as Prada changes direction in their way of presenting their product to the media and their clients as well that means times are changing. Now we have to wait and see the others who will follow.

Lara Stone, Chanel Iman, Jesus Luz and Herchcovitch.

This past week just finished Sao Paulo Fashion Week. Latin America largest fashion week and event. And among the several talented designers that presented their collections here are a few that got a lot of media attention:
Lara Stone walked the runway for Forum Tufi Duek, with styling by Patti Smith. She is also the face of the label for this fall. And that means that as much as her face will be everywhere for Louis Vuitton worldwide, it will be in Brazil for Forum Tufi Duek given how big this label is in Brazil.





Alexandre Herchvitch is the new creative director for beachwear label Rosa Cha, and he got Chanel Iman to open his show once again. She opened for Rosa Cha last summer in New York. And she is also the face of the brand this fall.



Madonna's boyfriend Jesus Luz is the coverboy for jeanswear label Ellus. And the media was not excited about it. Most of the media in Brazil doesnt care for him as a model and some even said he looked like a "delivery boy" on the catwalk for Ellus, due to the styling, and his model presence/attitude is close to none on the runway. It was a good thing the label also had Cinthia Diker, who did an amazing job.




Brazil's favorite designer, Alexandre Herchcovitch, presented an exuberant collection that opened with Isabeli Fontana and closed with Carol Trentini, and that was her only show during SPFW.

300 million well spent!

Wow! The movie Avatar was an amazing experience. Totally not what I was expecting it to be. But actually much better! And watching it on 3D made the experience even better.
James Cameron, the same director of Titanic, takes you to different world in an incredible experience that is much more than just watching a movie. And for that the movie becomes amazing. Go see it!

Gaga on my nerves!

I am a little annoyed with the fact that I still haven't been able to find CHEAP tickets for Lady Gaga's upcoming concert in Chicago. First her concert was scheduled to be performed at the Chicago Theater. Really nice location, but small given her mega pop status. Then it has been relocated to the All State Arena. And guess what? I still can't find tickets for the price I want. And yes I could go "bananas" and buy more expensive tickets, but ever since I did that for Madonna a couple of years ago and ended up with horrible seats I promised myself not to make the same mistake again.
Gaga is also one of covers of this month's Elle magazine, Britney Spears graces the other cover, and she will soon release her new single "Telephone", which features Sasha Fierce aka Beyonce, and is already a hit.
Although I have nothing against Elle magazine I did wish Vogue to be the first one to do a cover with Lady Gaga. Can you only fantasize a Gaga editorial styled by Grace Coddington and photographed by Steven Klein? Not to talk about the fashion because all designers would be sending in their best pieces. Anna wouldn't know what to do with herself. And I'm kinda fashion daydreaming right now...I better eat another banana...wait I can't! Hahahaha...

I'm going Bananas!

I believe the statement above sums up the feeling most of us have when a New Year begins. And I am no exception to the rule, and yes, I want changes and for the better in my life as well.
The first change, crazy? drastic? dramatic?, has been my eating habits went from regular to vegan. We'll see how long it will last and much of a change it will do on my body. My best friends, Marcos and Richard, the two guys in the picture from the previous post, are joining me in this challenge and it should be fun to help and support each other.
Whichever is your New Year resolution or desire for 2010 don't let anyone or anything get you down and go forward with it.
Thank you for all of you who have followed me here and let's have a great year! Now if you will excuse me I will have a serving of banana. Hahaha!

Happy New Year!
