Sao Paulo is known for its Fashion Week, happening twice a year, showing Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter, bringing Latin American fashion to Brazil's runway. You may wonder why Sao Paulo and not Brazil's Capital Rio was chosen for Fashion Week, SPFW is where the more directional designers show. Rio is not left out, there is Fashion Rio that is a representation of lifestyle, street and diffusion brands.
Brazil is a front running emerging country, just hosting the 2014 Fifa World Cup and soon to hold the 2016 Olympics, Fashion is now thriving in two cities and spreading all across Brazil.

Gum in Moscow is the most famous department store in Russia, with its facade existing 794ft along the eastern side of Red Square. When it reopened in 1953 it was one of the few stores in the Soviet Union that never had shortages of consumer goods. GUM was known for its vast queues of consumers stretching across the Red Square. It was renamed, in May 2005, when 50.25% was sold to the Russian luxurious goods distributor and boutique operator, Bosco di Ciliegi. It kept its original abbreviation yet the first word was changed, now translating into 'Main Universal Store'. It was known as a private shopping mall, only the most luxury of products are sold there.
