"Is there something that you know or particularly like about Brazilian fashion?

I think it's the excitement and passion. I met young designers who were passionate about fashion, their creativity, and craftsmanship. Actually, I ended up wearing a belt from a local designer throughout the trip because I forgot to bring one, and now it's my favorite belt!"
