Read MoreAt 20, Azevedo has already made emotional storytelling the spine of his brand. "O Que Fica" was a fourteen-look meditation on loss: how grief stains and clings, how it alters movement and silhouette.
Read MoreI love it when I run into friends at shows and they give me the most memorable one liners. And at this show, it was Alvaro who left me with "This is the life we CHOSE...!!!" We were speaking about how go-go-go the week has already been and we took a moment to renew our vows to this fashion life by adopting this new mantra. As we took a minute and looked around we commented on how it looks like we were attending a fabulous fashion funeral and we didn't even know why exactly yet.
