About
When someone talks about fashion, all of my body and mind stay tunned to it. Fashion is art, is expression, is culture and it's personality and, for an Arts student there's no better way to express and show her personality through her clothes. Fashion is so much more than go shopping, than buying a new t-shirt or a new pumps, fashion is something that must be learned, studied and lived every day and that's what I'm trying to do on sketchbook six, is teaching and sharing my ideas, my inspirations and of course, a little bit of myself.
After I started my blog, sketchbooksix, I thought about doing a t-shirt line (of course I want to expand it to a very own brand line), I'm crazy about fashion, I started to read about it since I was a little kid with my father, we bought VOGUE and we read it on the beach together, actually my grandmother and her sister had a fashion store with a lot of clothes. Here in Lisbon, they lived in a time that authoritarism and nationalism were the principal political view, so they couldn't bring anything of the outside to Lisbon, so they went to Paris a lot of time, they searched the principal trends and they bring them to Portugal, to store in Chiado, called "Fashion House". It's a really good past, and I love them so much, so my love for fashion is so much more than go shopping, so much more than buy a new dress or a new shoes, fashion is styling, is showing off the cloths and it's expression. I'm also addicted to Art History and Photography, these are my three passions and I must confess that I love having these addictions, besides New York City, Paris, St.Petersburg, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Lisbon, LosAngeles, Côte D'azur and London.
Fashion is a religion and VOGUE is a bible.
Inspirations
Stella McCartney, Karl Lagerfeld, Balenciaga, Lauren Conrad, Audrina Partridge, Kate Moss, Miranda Kerr, Atlanta deCadenet Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and more are my fashion icons and I LOVE the XVIII, XIX and XX century.
