Which fashion week is held in São Paulo and is commonly abbreviated as SPFW?
Answer
São Paulo Fashion Week
The fashion week held in São Paulo and commonly abbreviated as SPFW is São Paulo Fashion Week.
São Paulo Fashion Week is Brazil’s best-known fashion calendar and one of the largest fashion events in Latin America. It presents Brazilian designers and brands in seasonal editions, with shows and presentations taking place at changing venues across the city.
The event was founded by Paulo Borges and began in 1996 under the name Morumbi Fashion. It later adopted the name São Paulo Fashion Week, reflecting the city’s role as Brazil’s principal business and cultural center.
SPFW should not be confused with Rio Fashion Week or other Brazilian fashion events. Although designers may appear at several national events, São Paulo Fashion Week is specifically associated with São Paulo and has its own history, organizers, and calendar.
