The new issue of ffw Mag! featuring all the Brazilian spring 2011 collections is already on newsstands, with newcomer Nathalia Oliveira on the cover. I am going to pick up a copy over the weekend and scan some of my favorite pictures to post next week.
Debora Müller was the Brazilian girl with most bookings in London this season, walking eleven shows and scoring three exits at Burberry.
In case you missed the live broadcast yesterday, here is a video of the genius Prada spring 2011 show.

It is finally confirmed: Topshop will be opening two stores in São Paulo in 2011. Topshop will open in the first semester, and Topshop/ Topman will open in the second semester. I wonder if the prices will be the same in Reais or if the merchandise will be ridiculously expensive as everything else is in Brazil.
Gisele looked stunning in a backless Calvin Klein number last night at The Brazil Foundation's 8th Annual Gala Benefit. Also at the event at the Met were Pedro Andrade, Lorenzo Martone, Anne Hathaway, Cecilia Dean, Vik Muniz, and Fernanda Motta. The after party was at the Boom Boom Room. Did any of you go and took pictures?

A teenager was shot to death and another was shot in the leg this past weekend at the gay pride parade in Juiz de Fora, attended by over 70,000 people. The teenagers were hit during a confrontation between two rival gangs. 17 people have been detained by the police, two of them suspects of the crime.
I finally got to check out the Transfer exhibit at Ibirapuera Park this past weekend. Really loved the work by Os Gêmeos on display, but other than that I was a little underwhelmed with the presentation and the selection of works. I was going to take pictures for a post, but security didn't allow it.
