Patricia Vieira shows leather garments can work in summer
Leather-loving Brazilian fashion designer Patricia Vieira provoked surprise at São Paulo Fashion Week in April by insisting that summer as well as winter clothes can be made from leather.

Inspired by a recent trip to Costa Rica, Ms Vieira’s collection for summer 2016 is dominated by hand-painted leather dresses with markedly feminine silhouettes, bright colours and mirror- and jewel-effect decorations.

One critic remarked that Ms Vieira’s use of colour on her leathers was reminiscent of watercolours on a blank canvas.
