FASHION & STYLE: stores with an identity beyond clichés!
Hello Intheknowers! As I have been working in the fashion market for many years, as an image consultant and personal stylist, Claudia and Caro invited me to share with you a few recommendations of stores, so you can know a little more about Brazilian fashion and its different styles. I hope that you like and enjoy my suggestions!
Cartel011
A cultural space in Pinheiros neighborhood in São Paulo, Cartel011 offers diverse experiences involving art, music, design and gastronomy.
The place specializes in sport styles and has diversified products within this style: you can check out Brazilians brands such as Egrey, Melissa and Moden, which I like a lot!
For those who like sneakers, the store offers Adidas products and a NikeLab area. You can check out the latest Nike’s and Adida’s releases, as well as three exclusive Nike models designed by Brazilian stylist Pedro Lourenço.
Do you enjoy accessories? Brands like Studio Iracema and Vanda Jacintho, the first more delicate and the second modern and colorful, offer unique, charming pieces that can change the mood of your look.
After shopping, you can enjoy visiting FEED FOOD Restaurant at the back of the shop, with a very nice atmosphere and delicious food!
