Know anyone who can't Use a Little Bit of Brazil in their Lives?

Me neither.

And just in case you didn't get the point about Brazil's impact on the fashion world from the previous post, WWD has deemed it an emerging luxury force, stating:

Fueled by a boom of both the financial and creative kinds, the country is making a real impact on the fashion and accessories worlds at multiple levels—from serving as a leading design and retail inspiration to becoming an emerging market for luxury brands.

Who are we to argue with WWD, and the army of designers quoted in its article?  So what better time than now (especially since you have shipped your holiday goods!) to go and be inspired? From the food, to the art, to the beaches....and to its Fashion Conferences!

So, pack your bag, grab a flight or just pop in to Fashion Law Brasil 2012 on November 30, 2012.  I will see you there!!

Olé, Olé, Olé, Olé....BRAZIL!!!

When you think of Brazil, you probably think soccer (or football as they call it), and that Brazil is the host of FIFA's 2014 World Cup.  But, now you should think fashion too!

Did you know:

  • Brazil sold over 67 Billion dollars of fashion goods in 2011;
  • Brazil is the world's fifth largest producer of textiles (second largest producer of denim);
  • Brazil is the fourth largest producer of finished garments; or
  • Brazil's fashion industry employees 8 million employees, 75% of which are female?

YUP.

And, on November 30, 2012, Brazil will hold its second annual Fashion Law Conference and has invited me to participate!  How cool is that? 

So, for all you international readers out there (or adventurous US travelers!), I hope you will join us!!!
