As if Brazilian models (Giselle Bündchen, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Ana Beatriz Barros, to name a few...) don't bring Brazil enough attention already, the fashion community and a few rockstarlettes are hightailing it to Rio for the weekend to bring attention to Rio as a fashion center. According to WWD, "Donatella Versace, Francisco Costa, Riccardo Tisci and Marc Jacobs, along with a slew of models and musical performers, are touching down in Rio de Janeiro for Oi Fashion Rocks to be held Saturday night at Rio’s Jockey Club."
Fashion Rocks will feature Versace, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs and Calvin Klein’s fall 2009 runway collections paired with performances by Diddy, Ciara, Grace Jones and Mariah Carey. The idea is to spotlight Brazil, so there will be plenty of local flavor courtesy of designers Alexandre Herchcovitch and Lenny, as well as musical acts Stop Play Moon and Daniela Mercury.
I don't know about you, but the weather is supposed to be pretty gloomy here in DC this weekend. Anyone have any extra frequent flyer miles?
