Double Reason to Celebrate

This year, FashionTV hits the 17 year milestone, and the future looks more fashionable than ever. In a few week’s time, we’ll be in Cannes hosting our very own Fashion Films festival, we’ve got FashionTV Hotels opening around the world, and even more surprises on the horizon!

Michel Adam founded FashionTV in April 1997 and launched its international satellite broadcast less than a year later, spanning the globe from Japan to the United States. Today it is recognised as the first and most influential fashion channel, which broadcasts to over 500 million households, 7 million public places worldwide and is the only global 24/7 television network focused exclusively on fashion, beauty, trends, and style.

For the 25th edition of Fashion Rio, the theme is “river, tropical resort, world heritage, cultural landscape,” so we’re expecting beautiful nature-inspired prints and bright, fun colors. FashionTV takes a trip to FFW Fashion Rio to catch all the action as it happens!

The smaller-scale, sister fashion week of SPFW provides a platform for up-and-coming Latin fashion brands to to get exposed to the world. But it’s more than just talented designers showing their stuff, it’s Brazilian models galore, with past editions starring models Alessandra Ambrosio and Izabel Goulart among others.

Here are few shows from last year to get you pumped! Stay tuned all week to catch this year’s action.

Alessa Summer 2014 Show | FFW Fashion Rio

For its 10th anniversary, Alessa created a collection from an array of fabrics such as floral lace, organza tweed, and silk. The collection took its inspiration from the looks of a safari as well as flora and fauna. The clothes, all beautiful, were also a great combination of functionality and practicality.

Summer 2013 Fashion Recap | FFW Fashion Rio

Fashion Rio Spring/Summer 2013 is where the Brazilian models come out to play and showoff their sexy (and small) swimsuits for shows like Triya Triya swimwear, which has a mix of neon hues and brown stripes which seem to work well when paired together in lines against the body. Agatha showcases a mint green 80s look with top model Aline Weber opening the show and later, Latin cowboys in the form of models taking the stage. Designer Lenny Neimeyer could be Rio’s most popular swimwear designer and that’s because she reinvents herself every year. This year, it’s all about colorful prints that almost look like comic book strips planted onto bathing suits.

In honor of our 17th anniversary, we will be airing all month long the best, can’t-miss moments of fashion since then! And, what better way to kick off the month-long nostalgic journey than with our favorite moments on the Red Carpet!

From the Oscars to Cannes, if there was a red carpet, we were there and all month long we’ll be reliving the best moments! Tune in to see all the hottest celebs wearing the most fashionable garments.

Here are few videos out of the many we will be airing all month long to get you in the mood, so put on your Red Carpet-worthy attire and make a date with the couch because you won’t want to miss this!

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Maddox at the 2013 Governors Awards

Looking absolutely stunning in a black Swarovski crystal-accented full-skirted Atelier Versace gown, Angelina Jolie delivered an emotional acceptance speech that went viral, and we know why! She held back tears (we didn’t) while talking about her mother, saying her mom always told her to live “a life of use to others.” She followed that advice wholeheartedly and was honored for it by receiving the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the fifth annual Governors Awards in November.

Victoria’s Secret 2006 Red Carpet ft. Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Karolina Kurkova and More

Karolina Kurkova and Gisele Bundchen dazzle in Grecian-style dresses, Izabel Goulart shows off her wild side in a long, backless leopard print halter dress, Adriana Lima wears a flirty short black dress while Selita Ebanks shines in a gorgeous silver gown and Alessandra Ambrosio stuns in white.

2. Kate Moss’ First Playboy Cover

What a way to celebrate your 40th birthday — supermodel style — only with your first ever Playboy cover.

The King of Pop and his iconic costumes were honored by the world’s most revered milliner Philip Treacy at London Fashion Week with an all-black cast, real Jackson jackets, and some jaw-dropping headwear.

Inspired by an artist who worked with heavy materials to include aluminium and concrete, French designer Stephane Rolland created a Spring 2012 collection that was inspired by similar materials. Supermodel Yasmin Le Bon ended the show wearing a staggering 110 pound silk red jersey dress adorned with metal plates and a 147 foot train.
