Knitwear label Coven lights up Rio fashion show
Glittering caballeras in Lurex pantsuits dominated the catwalks Wednesday on day two of Rio de Janeiro's winter 2012 fashion week.
While many of the other displays have felt indistinguishable from the kinds of urban looks that dominate catwalks worldwide, a stellar south-of-the-border equestrian collection from Coven boldly forged a style of its own.
The brand, based in the interior state of Minas Gerais, is known for its knits. And designer Liliane Rebehy delivered with Wednesday's collection: Her flirty crocheted skirts, mariachi-style pant suits in copper colored Lurex and T-shirts covered in fancy geometric embroidery managed to be at once totally unique and utterly appealing.
The day's other highlight was the catwalk appearance of the three Brazilian soap opera stars, who walked at TNG. The audience shrieked and snapped cellphone pictures as the actors took to the runway in rustic chic denim separates.
At 2nd Floor, designer Thiago Marcon focused his attention on a most improbable Brazilian fabric, covering his flirty chemisier dresses in printed chiffon in a patchwork of what looked to be faux fur. Beyond being hard to wear in a tropical climate, the material was bulky, and the fur-fronted skirts made even the rail-thin models look more than a little hippy.
Still, the lighter pieces were appealing, especially the ivory chiffon blouses and dresses printed with an oversized growling lion. Graphic, boyish touches gave the clothes a slightly modish feel.

Favorite Stars Win Big at the People's Choice Awards
She's the People's Choice Award winner for Best Pop Artist, a fact that got Demi Lovato all choked up during the live awards show at the Nokia Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday, Jan. 11.
"The nominees are all people I look up to, and have aspired to be," Lovato admitted as she clutched her heavy Waterford crystal prize. Her competition was Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Katy Perry; Perry snagged five of the glittering statues, but missed the fun.
But the thousands of fans that packed the venue were not disappointed, as top stars from film, television and music filled the front rows and caused serious shrieking as they hit the stage. "Glee" star Lea Michele thanked her parents for their support as she won Favorite TV Comedy Actress, and Adam Sandler broke up the house with thanks to all his "public school teachers" when he won Favorite Comedic Movie Actor.
Faith Hill belted out "Come Home," her latest hit single, and Neil Patrick Harris gave the assemblage a giggle as he tried to take over hosting duties from Kaley Cuoco. He also won for Favorite TV Comedy Actor, and admonished his young twins at home in his acceptance speech to "go to bed!"
No one could have slept through the shrieking as Robert Pattison took the stage to accept the Favorite Drama Movie prize for "Water for Elephants." His newly shaven head didn't deter the screaming fans from almost drowning out his speech and the excitement didn't stop there. The crowd went crazy for presenters Ian Somerhalder, Ginnifer Goodwin, Julianne Hough and Ewan McGregor, who gave Morgan Freeman the first annual Favorite Movie Icon award.
And the biggest excitement of the night didn't come for the younger stars that graced the show, like Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens, Adam Levine, Kat Dennings, Nina Dobrev or Jennifer Morrison. That was reserved for beloved Betty White, who took home the trophy for her "Hot in Cleveland" win for Favorite Cable TV Comedy and is about to celebrate her 90th birthday on Jan. 17.
"I didn't do anything to get to 90," White said with a chuckle. "It just crept up on me!"

Bette Franke, Daniel Jackson and Alistair McKimm Continue to Be a Great Combination for J. Mendel (Forum Buzz)
J. Mendel must love the creative trio of model Bette Franke, photographer Daniel Jackson, and stylist Alistair McKimm, because for the second consecutive season they’ve used them for their ad campaign. After seeing Spring 2013 images, it’s easy to see why J. Mendel thought this trio was worth the repeat.
“Plain studio backdrop, Daniel Jackson and Bette again – but I can't even hate because this is stunning enough to catch my attention if I was flipping through a magazine,” HeatherAnne posted. “It has an editorial quality to it, and highlights the clothes beautifully/better than most ads do these days.”
“Gorgeous! Love the dark lip,” Elfinkova commented.
As far as I’m concerned, Bette should do her makeup like that every day for the rest of her life because she looks AMAZING. Seriously, well played, J. Mendel. These ads make me want things I have no need for.
