So far this hasn't been a great season for new Brazilian girls, but you can always count on Dolce & Gabbana for a show filled with familiar Brazilian faces: Isabeli Fontana, Alessandra Ambrósio, Izabel Goulart, Martha Streck, and Debora Müller. I am wondering if Laís Ribeiro is skipping the shows or is exclusive to a label showing in Paria since she has been m.i.a. for the past week.

Watch the Dolce & Gabbana fall/ winter 2011 women's show at Swide.

Swide has just posted an interview with Francisco Lachowski backstage at the shows in Milan. Make sure to watch it. Fyi, he mentions in the interview that he used to play tennis, which is shy we shot him playing against Gabriel Burger for the second issue of Made In Brazil Magazine. All of it was basically his idea, which is why we love working with him so much.

Francisco Lachowski has just had his best season to date in Milan, booking shows like Corneliani, Emporio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Carlo Pignatelli, Roberto Cavalli, Gucci, D&G, Moschino, and DSquared2. He also walked at Frankie Morello, Ermanno Scervino, Enrico Coveri, and at Trussardi's 100th anniversary presentation at Pitti Uomo. Way to go.

Towleroad has a complete list of winners at the Golden Globes last night, as well as Chris Colfer's acceptance speech for his Best Supporting Actor in a TV series win. I only watched the beginning of the show because of the six-hour time difference between Brazil and LA but if you ask me my picks for best dressed women I will have to go with Anne Hathaway and Angelina Jolie. For all the red carpet looks, head over to The Cut.

The death toll as a result of the floods and mudslides in the state of Rio de Janeiro has climbed to 635 people this morning, making it the deadliest natural disaster in the history of Brazil. The military finally sent over 700 soldiers to help with rescue efforts over the weekend. I have just gotten back from vacation today, and I am catching up on all the news, so expect more updates throughout the week. If you are in Brazil and would like to help, here is a link with all the information on the bank accounts destined to relief efforts, and drop off locations for donations. I am thinking of setting up a paypal account to gather funds from people who are overseas and would like to help. If you guys would be up for it, please leave a comment or email me. I figured that if everyone who visited the blog were to donate at least five dollars, we could raise a good amount of money here.
