This new collection represents an important step in the evolution of my brand. It is inspired by a craft that is deeply personal to me which is Crochet work, passed down by my avò. In Portugal, crochet is part of a strong tradition. Over the time, it became a tool for rebuilding, especially during difficult and poorer periods. This knowledge is shared from generation to generation, and I am proud to have collaborated with her on this project.
The collection brings together historical handmade techniques and the contemporary fashion language I love. The colours are inspired by artists who have strongly influenced my artistic journey, such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring.
Between tradition and streetwear, the thread continues to tell a story, one of a future built from what already exists.
This year, I had the chance to share my runway with my sewing's Mother !
