April 2013
A bit of family time, a lot of fashion (and work), some London memories and new friends. 2013 has finally started.

A lot of work, not enough play.
Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola directed 3 little shorts for Prada’s perfume, Candy. Besides the fact that I love Wes Anderson’s language, I love that on episodes 1 and 2 the film ends with Léa Seydoux stuffing her face!
Cannot believe the third (and final one) is coming.
Had a strange feeling that they’re not staying together though. It makes sense for the narrative and the trilogy but… who cares, I’ll be devastated if they do!
Colcci was the brand that impressed me the most this season at SPFW.
Gisele used to come to Brazil and walk for them during her heyday and it was always so… messy. Clothes that were way to young even for her and no aesthetic sense. Fast forward 6 or 7 years and it’s like a different brand altogether: chic, current, cool, mature. There was a lot of the same, fair enough, but everything was gorgeous. These shoes… [sigh].

Another fashion week has come and gone, this time much closer to me, in São Paulo.
Although we are in the southern hemisphere and it is the SS14 collection, I saw a mix and match of the international SS13 and AW13/14 trends: stripes, solid colour looks and a lot of white and blue hues.
What makes me really proud and happy is that any one of these looks could have come from an European catwalk - and I want all of them.
Here are a few things that caught my eye:
Osklen, Uma, Juliana Jabour, Neon, Osklen, Aquastudio, Têca [2], Aquastudio, Ronaldo Fraga

Sometimes he thought of past love affairs as graffiti written across the story of his life. Most of it was easily wiped away with a rag and any kind of cleaning fluid. In contrast, there were some scribbles that had been drawn on with black permanent ink. These were tougher to remove. Sometimes no matter how much he rubbed and scrubbed, faint traces of them remained for a long time. Finally there was the graffiti that had been carved deep into his surface with a sharp knife and fierce determination. It was usually small because any carving *that* deep took time and real effort. But it was the most permanent. No way could he ever erase it unless layers of himself were sanded away and obviously that was impossible. The only thing to do was accept it as part of his being now, like a scar or a bad tattoo. As it aged in years to come, it became less visible but never disappeared.
