Brazilian Slum Pulls Itself Up By Flip-Flop Strap

Jessica Lapidos — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 18:41:13 +0000

While we’ve been busy handing out Model Citizen Awards, we found a real live model citizen in the rough slums of Brazil. One tough bid, Silvinha Oliveira found her way out, worked her way through fashion school, turned away her nose up at the frivolity of high fashion’s industry and, instead, brought it back to the favelas to flourish. Upon imparting her sartorial knowledge to a few women in the community, she was able to start her own company: Retalhos Cariocas. She takes scraps of factories’ leftover fabrics and uses them to transform the country’s ubiquitous Havaianas into gladiators, booties, wrap shoes and more. All at once, Silvinha is giving fabric andher neighbors a second chance at life.

Silvinha Oliveira, founder of Retalhos Cariocas

“It was always my dream to study fashion in college. When I got there I was a bit disheartened because it was an artificial world, but I understood that as a fashion designer I could help people change their lives,” she explains. “I started the courses because I wanted to share my knowledge and put in people’s minds that even though they live in a favela and are poor, they can go to college and succeed. I think this is a real spirit of Retalhos Cariocas.” [Rio Times]

GISELE BUNDCHEN for VOGUE BRAZIL OCTOBER 2010

Nicole Vardo — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 17:52:12 +0000

Gisele, Gisele, Gisele it’s almost like a Marsha Brady story, or in better terms she’s like that girl in high school that you absolutely hated but loved at the same time… I don’t think you could ever call Gisele ugly or find a totally bad photo taken of her, even if the photo did look like shit she would still stump me by how she’d obviously end up making it amazing.

INTERVIEW: Danny Roberts Of Igor + Andre

Lucas Logan, L.A. Correspondent — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 02:45:37 +0000

From making mud pies at the age of 5 to being the voice behind the easel for all of the fashion community at 23, Danny Roberts of Igor + Andre is quickly making his way around the industry. Danny’s first publication was for Vision Magazine in China, since then he has graced the pages of Dazed and Confused (UK) to Elle (US) , Even Spain and Brazil’s Vogue!

Lucas Logan: What was the first publication featuring your artwork?

Danny Roberts: I believe the first print publication that featured my work was Vision Magazine in China.

Lucas: What is your ideal subject to paint and why, models, bloggers, or artists?

Danny: Models. Beauty inspires me, so naturally, I was drawn to fashion models.

Lucas: Was there any favorite childhood artist you looked up to when you were young?

Danny: Yes! John R. Neill who illustrated a lot of the Land of Oz stories. Also Pauline Baynes. She was friends with C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien and illustrated The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings. She was actually a map maker by trade.

Lucas: Would you say living in California gave you your aesthetic eye for art?

Danny: Uh, I don’t know if it was California per se. But I love living here!

Lucas: How did you come up with your blog name Igor + Andre?

Danny: Actually, I haven’t really said why it’s called that yet. It’s named after a project I’ve been planning for the last few years, but it’s not ready yet. Sorry about that.

Lucas: In the fashion industry who would you love to work with?

Danny: Actually, it breaks my heart, but truly the one person I always wanted to collaborate with in my life was Lee Alexander McQueen. But also, I would love to collaborate with Karl Lagerfeld.

Lucas: For an aspiring fashion artist, any advice to give, like materials to use or where to start?

Danny: For materials, I think the best approach is to systematically learn each medium. Take one at a time, be patient and move on to the next when you feel ready.

Lucas: Any future goal you would love to accomplish soon?

Danny: I really want to launch a web channel that focus on art, music and fashion!

MAG HAG: Vogue Brazil May 2009

Andy Wass — Thu, 07 May 2009 20:00:22 +0000

Michelle Alves is featured on a stand-out cover for May 2009. Steven Klein shot this for Vogue Brazil at a Madonna concert last year.

Usually backgrounds are just empty space or a beach setting, but the non-US mags really know how to switch it up. I love Michelle’s styling (simple jeans enhanced by futuristic, bondage-inspired accessories) combined with the suggested energy of the crowd.

Get a look behind the scenes of the shoot in the gallery.
