Spring/Summer 2006 - Paris Fashion Week
Alexander presented his Spring/Summer 2006 collection during Paris Fashion Week in October 2005. An outfit from the collection is shown on the left. It consists of grey cuffed shorts (so popular this season) with a matching jacket over a white blouse. The model is wearing gladiator sandals.
Alexander has changed from the designer who scared and shocked his audience. He sends out his models in orderly fashion, so that we can see the clothes he has designed. His black suits, beautifully tailored as always, have lost their exaggerated waists and jutting shoulder, they are now much more wearable. Spencer jackets with button-down lapels, short flippy skirts and shorts with a girl-rocker look about them, appeared. His evening gowns had the look of Greek goddesses. However a little of the old McQueen appeared in fantasy gowns with metalwork bodices, rather like eighties sci-fi TV programmes. Source

Com uma proposta jovem, antenada com as tendências da moda e peças bem femininas, surgia em 2003 a grife Juliana Faro. Hoje são cinco lojas nos melhores shoppings do Rio e de Niterói. A moda de Juliana, dona da grife que leva o seu nome e sobrenome, continua apostando no jeito girlie das garotas do rio que gostam de se produzir para a noite e arrasar em grandes festas.

A marca, inaugurada em 2004, hoje, é uma das queridinhas entre os cariocas. A proposta é unir a irreverência e o despojamento do carioca em coleções que incluem roupas, acessórios e objetos, para eles, para elas e até para a casa, tendo como carro-chefe as t-shirts que consagraram a marca, com suas estampas sempre bem-humoradas. O fato de as peças fugirem do estilo surfwear e traduzirem um universo mais urbano fazem com que a loja tenha a cara de São Paulo.
Além das camisetas famosas por suas estampas bem-humoradas e os objetos divertidos, verdadeiros achadinhos em presente, um sucesso da loja é a linha infantil, com bodies e camisetinhas para bebês e crianças. Assim como para os adultos, as roupas para os pequenos, também, apresentam dizeres engraçados. Todas as criações são dos irmãos Alan e Renata Grimberg, pai e mãe corujíssimos e, talvez por isso, tenham tanta liberdade de criação para as roupinhas de bebês.
