The Beginning
It all started in the north of Brazil. The first sketches I made were when I was around 8 or 10 years old. I have always been very curious, I liked to explore my own creative boundaries. I was inspired by the figures of those women I saw in typical Brazilian soap operas: that was back in the 2000s, at the beginning of a new era.
I grew up with a deep appreciation for fashion and aesthetics. My passion led me to become self-taught and hone my skills through academic knowledge. When I was around 15, I moved to the lush settings of the wonderful city, Rio de Janeiro. There, I began to have a diversified creative vision and discovered new horizons. Back then, my first colorful collections emerged, mixing the earthy tones and arid settings so typical of northern Brazil with the colorful, lively and extremely vibrant exuberance of Rio.
The beginning of a new story
At the age of 18, I began studying a different career. However, at the age of 20, due to family issues, we moved to Peru. There I discovered a new world, full of textures, history and tradition. It was at that moment that I took the big step I had always dreamed of: studying Fashion. After going through two different universities in Business and Marketing, I began a new story at a Fashion school. There I discovered the impressive world of pattern making and everything that could be built from an idea.
"My signature aesthetic, which combines cosmopolitan sophistication with multicultural influences, has been the cornerstone of each collection."
