52 || MOST FITNESS || APRIL 2016out there looking for what I was looking for. I started with just a few manufacturers, and I gradually added more and more until I was able to hone it to the top manufacturers I could find. They consistently have the highest quality fabric and workmanship. When my customers buy it, they don%u2019t just have it for a season. A lot of my clients are hard-core fitness people and are competitors or trainers and don%u2019t mind spending extra if they know they are going to get something that is really going to perform. That%u2019s something that has consistently been a very important aspect of what Body by Brazil is about.MFM: How do you decide which designers to feature? Do you get a lot of requests?JB: My customers tell me what they are looking for, and I listen to them and submit my requests and work with my design team in Brazil. They are almost always ahead of the mainstream and are very open to being more cuttingedge in design. They seem to have the ability to locate some of the best fabrics. Supplex is our core fabric, but they continue to upgrade the quality of it. They are definitely ahead of the industry in determining and driving the next look in fitness wear. Brazil is also number one in swimwear worldwide, and I also carry a swimwear line. They have some of the top clothing manufacturers as well. I happen to have Morena Rosa which is one of my couture clothing lines that I have added over the years because it is consistent with the look my customer wants. They want to look good both inside and outside of the gym and these clothes are very figure-flattering and enhancing; the quality is exceptional.
