DANIEL WAKAHISA REPORTS FROM SAO PAULO FASHION WEEK DAY 1

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Brazilians love Japan. It’s so different from their own culture they are fascinated by every aspect of its soul.
After 100 years of Japanese immigration, Sao Paulo Fashion Week bows in reverence.

Designer Oscar Osklen is a hippy, environment friendly surfer. A bit like Hansel, if you’ve watched Zoolander.
This collection is inspired by rain and colours reflected on water drops. A Zen master’s dream.

While at Forum designer Tufi Duek joins hands with everyone just before the show. A rare site nowadays, back in college I thought this was a ritual followed by all designers
