Flight of Fancy: Editors and Designers Group-Think in Sao Paolo

GLORIA COELHO

 

At Sao Paolo fashion week the chicest girls on and off the catwalk were adding both grace and levity to their looks by augmenting streamlined (even a touch severe) styles with flurries of feathers. Feathers decorated a few of the mod, multi-weaved, all white space-girl gear at Gloria Coelho. At the Iódice show, where the “Save the Rainforest” theme was less than well-supported by the masses of printed matter and cut plants on every seat, and the white and chocolate-colored feathers on boots and jackets. In the front row, puffs of angelic feathers floating from the capped sleeves of Maria Bonita’s black-and-white T-shirts from last season were a recurring sight. However, the look’s most beguiling presence came from Brazilian Vogue scribe Victoria Ceridono, who paired a peach-colored feathered mini with a faded denim boyfriend shirt, as if she were Jane just throwing on something of Tarzan’s before flying to her first row seat for the Erika Ikezili show—definitely a chick worth flocking together with.
