unsure how i ended up at the website of a mulher do padre, a sao paulo based streetwear retailer, but i instantly remembered the impact their products had on me years ago. i visited brasilia, brasil in 2002 for a conference and while the city was architectonically impressive (and strangely surreal), the shopping was nonexistent. most of the few items i brought home were a mulher do padre. i remember trying to look them up some years ago, in vain, and am happy to see they're still in business. i wish my portuguese was, ahem, better to be able to figure out what exactly they're up to.
amp is all about quirky pleating and colors: think css at their least cassette playa, i.e. slightly over the top, but lacking the neon craziness. therefore, i believe my baby blue minidress and off-white dress with bonsai trees were the most subtle items in the collection.since my visit brazilian music acts, such as bonde do role in addition to cansei de ser sexy, have made it big, but here's a little jewel of a pop band i encountered on my visit: pato fu with "sobre o tempo."
