Gilda Midani

Rio de Janeiro

Discreetly located in what is known as the Argumento building, for the popular bookstore at street level, Gilda Midani is one of its many cosy, showroom-style boutiques where impossibly stylish locals make appointments to shop and sip espressos in the comfort of a home. Arriving unannounced is perfectly acceptable, just knock and the charming, multilingual staff will help with one of Midani's cosy glam creations.

Her collection walks the fine line between underdressed and overdressed, featuring cleverly deconstructed tees and dresses meant to be 'stretched to each customer's personal perfection.'

The Palm Beach Building, just blocks away at Rua Dias Ferreira 64, is another discreet gallery of top boutiques along what, by night, is also the city's choicest restaurant strip.
