WHAT’S YOUR BACKGROUND?
I come from a background of living in a traditional small town, near Lisbon, full of rules, oppresions and taboos. I spend those days imagining how one day I would escape from there and never look back. But to be more concrete, I studied Art in middle school where I found myself seaking ways of expressing “feelings”, either through physical or psychological acts. With the help of my parents, I made my first step out of the country to a Fashion University, where all my journey of self-discovery started and lead me to pursuit my ultimate passion.
THE CONCEPT OF YOUR COLLECTION?
My inspiration drifts from the constant “theater piece” that plays over and over again in my head.
The story might change, the characters might dress and undress different costumes and makeup, they might forget their lines, their very strict movements and even fall off stage. Leaving the terrified audience wonder all the hidden messages from minute one to the last glimse of light. But the contrast of beauty or uglyness, real or fake, love or hate will always be my main source of inspiration.
WHAT ARE YOUR LUCIDITY PILLS?
Pure acts of love. Simple as that.
