Sometimes...

The best thing we do is something people told us we couldn't.
It's not about provocation, but determination.

INDIE POWER.
Some months ago I did some speech to fashion students. I tried to talk about how important is to maintain a willpower even though they can't find a support or good words at first moment.
It's very easy to give up (and a lot of people tell us everyday) but it's kinda hard to persist. I'm in the second team. I don't know where I learnt this, but I try to never give up on the things I love. I go till the end. And I hope I can do the same about Tchibi :)

I have to confess it's not easy. But it's all worth!
Everytime I see something like this:

I feel like "I love this and I'll go till the end!"
Many... I said many people (yeah, even in the 'fashion world') told me my work was not really good, I had to change it, or that, or treat me like I was not a serious designer. And I am here to say the best thing we do is something people told us we couldn't.

I have no words (or maybe just one word) to describe  this day. AMAZING. The photo shoot was even better than the other one. These guys (photographers, models, make up artists, hair stylists, parents, husbands, wives and everybody involved on this project) ROX!!

Help I'm alive...

I can't believe that I got some free time to write. YAY!

Ok guys, now I'm here to talk about the last projects I've been working on. Firstly, I was called to be part of some photoshoots at ClickSP, a very nice group of photographers (I was called by a make-up artist). I'm enjoying a lot, and everybody is doing an incredible job. I still did not get time to update it at my website, but surely you can check some pictures at this link.

The fashion show will be now in November, so I really got more time to work on it. Somehow it sounds awesome to me since next week I'll be preparing everything for my time in another country. Wish me luck! I really would like to be able to write more frequently but time is really passing by in a fast way. But don't worry, I'll try to write at least a line tomorrow, after the photo shoot.

See ya!!
PS 1: By the way, Brazil is living summer in winter period.. It's almost 30C here. Crazy, huh?
PS 2: The title is a reference to a Metric's song. "They're going to eat me alive..."

Fashion show diary - Part 1

Hello folks, mostly you guys know me as crazy designer. But why exactly should I be named crazy? Well, my friends have a lot of reasons for saying that, and I think you all will have the same reasons now. It's been a time I wanted to start a blog for my beloved brand but I always had some project to do. Now, actually, I'm into the most chaotic period for my brand and life as well. Tchibi is growing up, I'm running several projects at same time, Tiririca is a candidate in brazilian elections, I'm moving to another country, I'm into intensive running training... I'll survive.

I am really excited because now I have freedom to speak more details about my next fashion show. You guys know I did 2 fashion shows in my life and all of them were under crazy contracts and condictions. But now, I'm able to tell you everything (of course, some secrets will be kept to perfect moment ~ the show!).

The name of the collection is "JPN tales", which means I'll develop something about japanese culture and tales. Japanese culture is something really vast and I could spent a whole day writing about it, but I'm sure you guys will love to know it through my new show. So prepare yourself because I'm literally giving my blood to these new designs :)

Ok, I did a very good deal today and shoes will be all from Marc Ecko's brands. If you don't know it, please click in the link to get some more information. These sneakers are awesome and I'm sure it totally get the spirit of this collection. Basically, I am big city girl and I love streetwear vibration. That's why I'm so happy about having it on my show.
Here's a picture of one sneaker:

Cool, huh? I chose a lot of designs, so I'm sure you guys will love all of them in the show.

Well, basically that's what I did today. I almost forgot! I'm working as well in the most conceptual look of the collection. It's gonna take ages to sew everything, but the result will be strikingly beautiful!

I promise to come back tomorrow and give more information.
So take care and don't ruin your sleeping time because you are writing and fixing your blog, ok? :P

Kisses,
Marie
