 Brazilian trend for the 2009 winter for costume jewelry, handbags and shoes will be seen at the 11th edition of the Mostra/Acessórios, to take place from January 11 to 14 at the Fecomércio Events center, in São Paulo, in southeastern Brazil.
The fair should include the participation of buyers from Greece, Spain, Japan, Switzerland and Latin America this year. Mostra/Acessórios, to bring together 65 exhibitors from all Brazilian states, should receive between 4,000 and 5,000 visitors.
"The international buyers started appearing as the fair grew, mainly in the last three editions, when it became better known and promoted through articles in specialized magazines and through our web site," explained Débora Gelman, one of the organizers and curator of Mostra/Acessórios.
According to her, the event, which takes place in the sidelines of international fairs like Couromoda and Francal presents the winter and summer releases with each new edition and its main characteristic is offering different and exclusive products, most produced artistically in small volumes.
"We supply many boutique owners seeking products that are not seasonal, with innovation and originality, and that may guarantee a differential to the shop," explained Débora.
Apart from the accessory exhibit, the fair also represents a space for new clothes stylists. "We also want the show to become renowned for revealing new talent," he pointed out.
During the four days of the fair, visitors may vote on fledgling designers in the Zero Age Project, which privileges designers who have never participated in a commercial event before. The winner gets a course in the area in the São Paulo School, which offers several cultural extension courses in the area of design.
"This partnership we established with São Paulo School will be very useful, as theoretical courses are always very welcome as they further enrich the designer's cultural universe, always seeking information that feeds his creativity," explained Stella Reis Ventura, one of the organizers of the event.
The exhibition should also reserve space for the Bazaar of artisans in the Association for Assistance to Cardiac and Heart Transplanted Children (ACTC) where they may present their work in aid of the institution.
Maria Maria Project produces handbags, tablemats and cushions with original and colorful embroidery that brings to mind the handicraft of our great-grandparents, bringing a suave folkloric touch.
"The works show a macro tendency, one of appreciation of handicraft, promoting a return to the delicate and playful style," pointed out Débora.

The small, coastal town of Condé is located just a twenty minute's drive from João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba. The Northeast of Brazil has historically been a place of encounter and mixing between peoples. For millenia groups of indigenous people fished, farmed, migrated and sometimes fought along this large, fertile area. 
The Brazilian diplo-MÁ-cia (bad diplomacy) carries on its accelerated course towards the non-acknowledgment of human rights, although sometimes it takes pleasure in saying that it does precisely the opposite. The visit of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another example of a diplomatic omission that verges on hypocrisy. 
On July 4, 2006, representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay met in Caracas to sign the protocol for the entrance of Venezuela into the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). After two and a half years, the protocol was approved by the legislative bodies of Argentina and Uruguay, and as of now it may be only days away from being ratified by the continent's economic megalith, Brazil. 
Some sectors of the fight against AIDS have suggested that Thabo Mbeki, the former president of South Africa, committed genocide through his absence from the fight against the illness in his country throughout his two terms. 
One hundred and eleven years after Brazil abolished slavery, the number of workers deprived of their freedom is still huge. They raise cattle, produce charcoal, sugar cane or timber. Some of them, most undocumented Bolivians, work in basements of small apparel factories in São Paulo and other metropolis. 
On November 7, 2009 a few friends and I had an opportunity to take a look inside a Brazilian jail outside the city of Rio de Janeiro. We were able to take some amateur footage of our experience on video (see link below). It's no surprise, of course, that the typical Brazilian jail lacks some of the functionality of those in North America or Europe, but our experience that day was quite shocking. 
Depletion of the Amazon Rainforest is not a new concern facing environmentalists, biologists, ecologists, and a growing number of the Amazonian indigenous peoples. For decades they have feared for the fate of the world's most biologically diverse and species-rich hothouse. 
Geisy Arruda made history this week in Brazil, but for all the wrong reasons. What began as a poorly planned fashion statement has become a worldwide tale. Geisy decided to wear a pink mini-dress to her private college in São Paulo state, and after that, all hell broke loose. 
The push of vigilante groups in Rio de Janeiro's favelas (shantytowns) in the last three years is the most important and alarming information of the just-released study by the Rio de Janeiro University's Violence Research Center (Nupev-Uerj). 
A dispute over drug trafficking territory in Rio de Janeiro has intensified lately, leaving in its wake unprecedented acts of violence, such as the downing of a police helicopter in the northern zone of the city on October 17. Three policemen died and another two were injured. This event has drawn the attention of the international media, who are raising the issue of public security for the 2016 Olympics to be held in Rio.
