Brazilian designer Thiago Marcon kicks off the second day of fashion week in Rio de Janeiro.
Before the show, the 2nd Floor collection designer put the final touches on his wilderness-inspired collection.
SOUNDBITE: Thiago Marcon, designer, saying (Portuguese):
"We have brought all of the fauna that involves Robin Hood's forest. Obviously, the fur (that we are using) is fake. I feel that we have an obligation not to use real fur and I also find it interesting that some suppliers are able to make it similar to the real one."
The line showcased hats and darker colored clothes as an homage to the character.
The second brand of the night was Coven, which featured geometric patterns and lots of handwork inspired by the Mayan civilization.
Models wearing earth-tone skirts and dresses walked to a Spanish soundtrack.
