I definitely picked on the 80s theme (triangle earrings, vivid prints, and updos) of this collection. Jabour was able to successfully take a popular theme without relying on too much on it.
Day 6 (10.23.2015)
Giuliana Romanno Winter 2016 Ready-to-Wear

Femininity played a huge part of this collection. This collection was kept intimate and small consisting only of 17 looks due to the size of the venue Rabieh gallery, the gardens chosen by Romanno himself. Some of my favorites from this collection include the stripe looks and the sewn in cape featured on one look.

The Atacama Desert is the theme and inspiration for the winter collection. Coarse salt is used as the catwalk to impersonate Chilean salt desert. My personal standouts from this collection would have to be the two transparent dresses which featured strategic leather stars created by the designer. They were a little risqué without going over the line.
Those were some of the collections for the winter 2016 season. I am curious to see what next season will bring for São Paulo fashion scene.
