  • Story Text: After an entire week of fashion parades in Rio de Janeiro, the scene shifted to Sao Paulo where shows began on Wednesday (January 24) with seven of Brazil's top designers showing their lines.
    This week 38 top Brazilian designers will display their fall and winter collections on the catwalk during Brazil's hottest fashion event.
    In a second day of shows at Sao Paulo's Fashion Week, designer Patricia Viera, known for her ability to work with leather, showcased her new collection on Thursday (January 25).
    Moments before her designs whisked down the runway, Viera said her collection looked very masculine and classic, with a lot of tailor cuts and high waists.
    "I'm coming with a super feminine, masculine look. I'm bringing tailoring, tailor cuts, the sleeves on the place of sleeves, high waist, narrow hips and a lot of tight skirts," she said.
    Used to working with leather, Viera's winter collection did not surprise admirers who expected to see the typical classy outfits which are the designer's hallmark.
    This season Viera came out with straight, tight designs where precision seemed the rule.
