A prostitute displays a creation from the Daspu Spring/Summer 2008-2009 collection during the Off Fashion Rio Show in Rio de Janeiro June 12, 2008. Daspu is a fashion house founded and run by prostitutes whose designs have become the talk of Brazil's fashion industry nine months after its start. Its success has surprised its founders, who see its sudden prominence as a revolutionary moment for a country long ambivalent about its world-famous sex industry.[Agencies]
