Whether dressing for business, casual occasions or the beach, fashion in Brazil is often synonymous with vibrant colors. And you don’t have to travel abroad to add a few pieces of trendy Brazilian clothing to your wardrobe.

On September 7, as the community celebrated the Independence Day of Brazil, Mayor Mark Boughton and members of the local community gathered at Moda Brazil By Elis Angela for an official ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new downtown boutique.

“It was a lot of work, but all worthwhile,” said Elis Angela, owner of Moda Brazil, as the mayor

presented her with a plaque welcoming her new venture to Danbury.
