Printed Talent Emerges From Rio

One thing that stands out in Brazil, especially with their upcoming fashion week, is the prints. From geometrical designs, animal imprints mixed with vibrant colors and stunning fabrics lightly embellished with luxurious lines... Rio has the prints and fashion to make a huge stamp globally in fashion.
Some promising designers, including Julie Valle and Daniel Rodrigues (fittingly named Printing) a design team from Belo Horizonte, and Marcia Queiroz who luxurious designs make heads on all sides of the catwalks turn. Pulling from international inspirations, mostly European, Rio has decidedly become a fashion force to be reckoned with internationally... and their talent can't be denied.

This year’s Brazilian fashion week is sure to be a success that celebrates the combination of prints and luxury in fashion combine while new looks and trends emerge from a industry that needs more ups this year.
