Sao Paulo-based designer Walter Rodrigues said he was inspired by Austrian director Michael 
Haneke's 2009 film "The White Ribbon" about nascent fascism in a German village ahead of 
World War I, and the first half of his eponymous collection had an unmistakable Germanic 
rigidity about it.

Models wore sweeping black prom dress and cropped 
jackets with crisp white shirts, their heads covered by what appeared to be a piece of 
curved construction paper.

Only the combat boots on their feet gave the slightly stiff, dated looks a punkish edge. The 
Amish punk vibe of the first half mutated into a Gypsy punk look as the models emerged in 
eye-popping prints, cropped wide-legged prom dress in 
vertical stripes with a long jacket in bright flower prints, their hair tied up in bright 
scarves.

R. Groove, the sole all-menswear display in the first four days of Rio fashion 
prom dress, delivered the kind of pared-down 
utilitarian chic that a trustafarian would wear while backpacking around the world. In a 
muted palette of khaki, gray, Bordeaux and white, the low-crotched pants and plain-fronted 
jackets and wind-breakers felt both rugged and pricey at the same time
