Fall 2010 fashion week is in full swing in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Although the city doesn’t yet pull the same press as the big four, there are some heavy-hitter coming out of the South American fashion capital.

This year designer Ana Magalhaes showed a line of plush cowboy chic for Maria Bonita Extra. The collection featured American western-inspired shapes cut in sumptuous velvets and other pile fabrics. The silouettes were complemented by playful pink lips and smart layering of patterns. There was even a touch of ’50s rockability for some edge.
