Indira Carvalho may not have been the girl with the most bookings at the spring shows in Rio last week, but the new girl from Bahia is certainly the one everyone will remember. I would like to think that she was not cast for most of the big shows simply because of the new quota system in place at the Brazilian shows, but even if that was the case, then at least the quota system is serving its purpose of putting girls like her in the spotlight. I hope to see more of her on the runways in São Paulo later this week, and in some major editorial features come spring.

And in case you are wondering, the girl with the most bookings in Rio this season was Gracie Carvalho, with 25 shows. Lovanni Pinow came in second with 24, and Camila Mingori in third with 23.

Redley closed the spring shows in Rio with none other than Rodrigo Santoro on the runway. I am not big on casting celebrities for shows, but I am going to make an exception here because it was the last show in Rio this season, and because the label compensated by also booking the likes of Ricardo Merini and Luiz Afonso Schwab.

Btw, how amazing does Ricardo Merini look? 

Thanks to her upbeat attitude, quirky looks, and brand new haircut courtesy of Paul Rowland at Supreme, 19-year-old Andressa Fontana is a must-book at the spring shows in Brazil this season.

Aline Weber, Isabeli Fontana, Izabel Goulart, Juliana Imai, Flavia de Oliveira, Barbara Berger, Viviane Orth, Bruna Tenório, Ana Claudia Michels, Fabiana Semprebom, Guisela Rhein, and Lovani Pinnow were all in the casting beachwear designer Lenny Niemeyer sent down the runway last night in Rio. It wasn't as exciting as Lenny's past two seasons, and yet it was still the chicest show in Rio this week. I wish I could have seen it in person.
