So, one of the most talked about occurrences from Sao Paulo Fashion Week this year was the naked shower which started off the first ever Rosa Cha men's show. The guy was model Rodrigo Rothen. While doing research for the blog, i stumbled across a video of this event, and the crowd was going wild, I would say it was definitely a crowd pleaser, and it got the crowd amped up for the rest of the show. Only in Brazil would this happen...Viva Brazil! I would post the video, but the quality is pretty bad, and its only like 15 seconds long. But if you guys are interested, i'm sure if you youtube Rosa Cha naked shower, you wont have any trouble finding something. However, despite the hype, there has been a lot of accusations that the show borrowed a lot from other desginers' shows. The naked shower, for example, has already been done by DSquared2. It seems to be popular belief that many elements from the show were in fact borrowed from DSquared2 and Dolce&Gabbana, including the sleek black runway, the oily muscle men wearing tiny swimsuits (Rosa Cha is a swimwear line), the blasting dance music, and even the four female models thrown on the runway to balance out the testorone, and perhaps make the show a little bit more enjoyable for the straight men present. Nonetheless, the show garnered a lot of press, and whether some elements were borrowed or not, they made the show one of the most talked about shows of the week. What I admire is having entertainment thrown into a fashion show to make it more interesting...and I defininetly think that a naked man showering is entertainment.
