Carioca fashion is marked by an aesthetic syncretism – a mixture of influences, identities, concepts and trends. This unique fusion is constantly being enriched by Carioca designers, and can be found at high-end events and stores, trendy shopping malls, as well as in charming fashion fairs across the city.

In addition to the trendy shopping districts and malls that pepper the city, there are also a number of fashion and clothing fairs. One of the most celebrated of these is a bimonthly event called 'O Cluster,' that brings together refined and experimental fashion, music and gastronomy in a beautiful mansion in the Botafogo neighborhood.

There is room for other fashion fairs, such as the one held every Sunday in the iconic neighborhood of Ipanema: the Feira Hippie Market, which gives visitors and locals excellent chances to see and enjoy the antique treasures and fit perfectly in the retro chic scene of the easygoing vibe that only Rio de Janeiro can give, and guaranteed to produce some interesting objects for anyone interested in Carioca arts and crafts.
