Gracca Ottoni, TNG, Catao, Claudia Simone, Maria Bonita Extra are only some brands that spiced up the catwalk at the Rio Fashion Week.

The Brazilian fashion week in Rio de Janeiro is one of the fashion pioneers on the fashion market. Designers that strongly warn of the survival of mankind and the environment were mainly those who presented their autumn/winter 2009/2010 collections on the catwalk between January 11 to 16. The event itself was traditionally focused on renewal and the process of recycling that is important to protecting the planet, as well as the fashion industry.

The fashion label Gracca Ottoni, which was founded in 1980 by the designer with the same name, showed a discrete rigorous style spiced up by prints that personify the elegant, urban woman, whilst the TNG label presented their casual collection spiced up with details like zippers.
