Lino Villlaventura displayed the 'white look' in patches of rich fabrics. The models wore dramatic make-up and head gears, giving the collection a sophisticated touch. Another high point was Ronaldo's show based on a Brazilian theme, a subject that he excels in.

Afro Reggae's, a young label that came from an ONG project and has as its main stylist, Marcelo Sommer, decorated Ibirapuera's auditorium with incredible art toys during its show.
