Feeling Patriotic

Maybe it's because I miss Brasil, maybe it's because it's a cup year, or maybe it's because I hung out with my particularly outrageous Carioca friend the other night... Here's a few Brazilian things which have caught my eye:



Brazilian models will always be so, so much better in every possible way.
Isabelli Fontanta x2 & Alice Dellal.

Os Gemeos.
Brazilian Street artists, "The Twins". They convinced me to go to the Tate Modern when they showed at the Street Art exhibit there a few years back. [Any museum with work this cool is worth a visit.] Recently, I took that off my bucket list, and you can see some Gemeos work in Miami up in my last post.
This show, "Pra quem mora la, o ceu e la." is being shown in Lisbon, Portugal.
I love what they did with the speakers, and their style, characters, and colors are so Brazilian.



Dazed & Confused "Plastic Fantastic" Editorial
Reasons why this is beyond awesome:
1. The magazine is named Dazed & Confused.
2. I love fashion editorials.
3. I love opacities. 4. I love Brasil. I love the World Cup. I love when everything I love gets together creatively, for example: CBF players. In a fashion editorial. Layered in various opacites. In Dazed & Confused.
5. All the uniforms, made by Nike, are crafted from recycled plastic bottles.
Upcycling dream ♥
Basically: perfection.
