Brazil, in this period, is showings an economic and creative liveliness, to make evryone jelous. A proof of that was the last Fashion week, a true surprise on fashion world and helded in Rio de Janeiro from May 22 to May 26. Such a rich fashion that nedeed to undouble in two events: Rio Fashion Week and Sao Paulo Fashion Week, from June 11 to June 16.

With these two events, officially starts the new cycle of female fashion weeks, that will continue in the main capitals of fashion: New York, London, Milan and Paris.
