Change and attitude

These days I was thinking that my whole life and brand is around two words.
Change and attitude.
I don't know when and how I got these two words as a way of living, but I can say it has drove me to very interesting results during all these years.
Now I let it guides me and tchibi again to a new vibe... In a land that seems distant, but not so far away.
In a place that maybe will be more suitable to my upcoming projects...

But if you are brazilian, don't worry. Everything will be the same about tchibi. You'll still be able to purchase it and so on. I'm running a show (november, here we go!).
One very important thing about the show: It will be open for EVERYBODY. Do you wanna see or touch some of tchibi's designs? In November you'll have a good and interesting opportunity to do that.I am so excited about it ...

But at this moment, I'll try to run at same time a new project in Europe. I am travelling today. Please send me good vibrations and wait for more interesting designs+photography+change+attitude+art.

With love,
Marie

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.

Kisses,
Marie
