ffw Mag! Does Erotica


40726434

ffw Mag!, my favorite Brazilian fashion magazine, just released its new issue, and it is all about Erotica. The cover is my favorite to hit Brazilian newsstands this year, and it features model Gracie Winck photographed by Cristiano Madureira.

If you are interested in learning more about the magazine, I have posted some of the editorial work from the issue on Made In Brazil. Make sure to check it out because the pictures from this particular issue are truly amazing (and sort of kinky as you would expect from the cover).

A Serious Contender To Take Up My Wall Space

I have started doing a lot of research on Brazilian street artists recently since I basically only have one large wall to display art in my new place in São Paulo, and I want to make sure I use it wisely. Obviously most of the artwork I like is completely out of my price range, but still it can be appreciated.

Right now Wagner Pinto is on my list of artists worth saving for, and not just because he was brought up in Porto Alegre in the south of the country like me. His work is largely inspired by candomblé, indigenous elements, religious costumes and rituals, and folklore, and I love how vibrant and clean it looks. Make sure to check out more on his website.

Jean Paul Gaultier And Melissa Team Up Again


Jean Paul Gaultier was one of the first designers to ever collaborate with Melissa back in 1982. Since then, the Brazilian brand of plastic shoes has worked with the likes of Mugler, Patrick Cox, Karim Rashid, Alexandre Herchcovitch, the Campana Brothers, and more recently Vivienne Westwood ,and Zaha Hadid. For spring 2010, Melissa and Gaultier teamed up again to prove that a pencil thin plastic heel can look pretty cool and sexy.

If there is one thing Mario de Testino is really good at is getting Brazilians to take their clothes off, and there is no better proof of that than his new book MaRIO DE JANEIRO Testino. If you are doubting me, Taschen has now made the entire book

My Favorite Brazilian Fashion Magazine Cover


mag100909

Love the cover of the latest issue of shot by Gui Paganini and styled by Paulo Martinez. It is probably my favorite Brazilian fashion magazine cover so far this year.

The main editorial of the issue features models and people of different races, ages, and sex, wearing the latest spring fashions from the Brazilian runways, and it is beyond stunning. I promise to find some time to scan some of the pages this month to share with you guys. If you are in Brazil, pick up a copy on newsstands asap.
