Dear Fashion Fanatics,
My Fashion Rio reports are up on A Shaded View on Fashion, links below:

When my friend Corey Sabourin (who is now in Seattle) saw this photo from the Redley show, he remarked: "I love the runway in the jungle pics. It's just like the scenes in "CHE" where the rebels are marching single file." I can't believe I didn't think of that! J'Adore Che.
Dear Readers,
I'm back from Brazil after six action-packed days at Fashion Rio (and one long beach break day--it's summer there now) and still feeling a little overwhelmed and energized. This was one of the most lavish fashion weeks I've ever attended and I couldn't have chosen a better escape from NY's coldest week of the winter and the monotonous news of global economic woes (the only online news breaks we took in the ABIT champagne lounge was a brave peak at those Donatella swimsuit photos and a few giddy posts on our FaceBook walls). My full reports from the week (A fashion show deep in the jungle! Decadent parties! Exploding air conditioners! Plastic poncho madness!) will be posted to Diane's blog in a few days (ashadedviewonfashion.com), so stay tuned lovers.
Later,
Glenn
Redley's show in the jungle
Me relaxing in the CHIC lounge between shows, having my one glass of champagne of the day. (I normally don't touch the stuff, but it's doctor's orders).
