Fashion designer Patrícia Viera’s passion for leather is undimmed. Presenting her latest collection at the São Paulo Fashion Week at the start of November, Ms Viera gave the audience of the techniques she has used to create unusual textures in the leather she has used for dresses, skirts, jackets and other pieces using laser cutting, crystals and stones.

Ms Viera made no secret of her love for leather. She told Fashion Week visitors: “For me, visiting a tannery is like going to Disneyland.”
