in rio, there are animale stores in leblon, ipanema, botafogo, são conrado and barra da tijuca - in shoots and runways shows, famous models have acted as the leading face of the brand, including the internationally acclaimed brazilian star, raquel zimmerman, and the english beauty, rosie huntington whiteley.

in 2014, the designers of the brands farm, animale, a. brand, fábula, and fyi are amongst some of the clothing shops that fall under the grupo soma, all clothing stores that are popular amongst locals.

the beach side atmosphere mixed with an urban-city vibe is what rio de janeiro is all about - this harmonious contrast influences many designers in creating a line of products the can be easily used, such as osklen by oskar metsavaht.
