IT'S DONE!

Thank you all!!!!! I did a quick video with some info and I hope you enjoy. I'm still organizing pics and material, but I think it's fair to show some to you guys (and also you can listen Yida's new song!)



PS: I don't know if you all know.. But I am in Germany right now, not in Brazil. So I'm trying to do my best to get all info about yesterday's show to you guys :D

THANKS AGAINNN!

next steps

Hello, guys.
Well, for those who doesn’t know – I am living something I can call vacations at this week. It’s not really a relax but I am kinda resting but organizing the fashion show… I am also knitting, but taking it easy at same time.

In my vacations I really like to think about my next projects. And that’s what I did. I had long chats with my mom and friends, trying to come up with new ideas for next year. 

So my  announcement is:  tchibi will have a project focusing streetwear, something more accessible and for more people (yeah something similar to the clothing I like to wear in my daily life). But we will still run the handmade projects. It’s like it  will be divided in lines: one more artistic and conceptual, the other one more “real life”.  It was something I was thinking to do even this year but due some other plans (like living in another country for a while) I could not to put it in practice. Anyway it was good since we can arrange and plan everything  better. Tomorrow I’ll get my notebook , pencil, headphones and I’ll start to draw the first ideas. Good thing it’s that finally I’ll give the attention to menswear as well. Boys are always asking “when you are gonna  design for boys?” so I think this next project is gonna be the perfect time for that. YAY! I hope you receive it as good news. It really is. Tchibi will reach even more people, maybe new places (I loved to know that USA likes the designs!). Maybe someday I’ll design for aliens, who knows.

PS:  While I wrote the title for this post, I couldn't help myself and THIS SONG came to my mind. I am crazy!

nostalgic.

I am one of those modern and frenetic lifestyle people who have their nostalgic times. When my friend tagged me in an article about New Kids on the Block and BSB, I really stopped to think that I am kinda old. But it's a funny way to think you're old, don't you think? I just have fun because once something it's on the top, one day it will be funny. Believe me!

Somehow... this was amazing!! hahaha The funny fact is that I still like those things..

Ok, now let's talk about something serious and about the big event of this weekend: the fashion show!
I would like to talk about make up and hair. but It's kinda complicated to talk about it without giving some clues. But I can say it is in good hands (thanks Niel and Bruna!!). They are working on very interesting references, something around rock style, japanese traditional make up and 20's. The eyes will be on spotlight !!!

Time and music

Time is a constant suffering to the creative people. Sometimes you feel like you don't have enough time to complete some project or you just feel there's too much time left to you be able to promote your next idea. I am never happy about the time and I don't think I will in next months. I wish I could be some magic being who has the power to stop the time, but unfortunately I don't. But I have an empty room, my work and loud music. That's enough to forget time. That's why once I am working, I am listening to music.

Talking about music, I could tell you about all my favorite genres and so on. But let's be a little more specific about my next fashion show. Every detail is important (make up and hair, models and other stuff I'll write about in next posts), but something I really have fun is deciding fashion's show soundtrack.
At the first show I was talking a lot with a brazilian composer called Lupa Mabuze (sharing my music references and lifestyle opinions with him) and he came with an very exciting beat. It made a good connection with that collection. At second show I was listening world music and Yida Huang came to my ears (one of his songs was in the show).

At this year I am very glad to say Yida composed a song just for the show! Yay! That's amazing. Firstly because it was something I was not expecting at all.  Secondly, everyone knows I am somehow (spiritually) asian, hahaha. I was working with an asian theme (yokais) and it was amazing to have more asian references at this project. Specially in music. Yida, thank you very much for the song, I really loved it!! It totally got the vibe I was thinking to this show.
Ok , fellas, if you have no idea about what I am writing, just listen to his songs:



Cool, huh? Nice songs and heart of gold.  If you wanna check more info, visit his page. Yay!!

Now let's run my last project here in Europe. Today I was kinda relaxing, writing  and solving stock issues.. Just dealing with easy tasks. But tomorrow I'll start new designs. Wish me luck!

I promise I'll come back to talk about make up and other things on the fashion show. It's this week, people! I am excited. And you guys?

XOXO,

First Frankfurt am Main photoshoot!

Gosh, it's been a time I don't bring any news to this blog. I don't like to stay away of this "brand diary" but at same time everything was really frenetic that I almost could not breath.
I have to say something folks: it's been hard times for me, but wonderful and exciting times for tchibi! I am almost dying of too much work, projects and things to solve, but I am so satisfied with tchibi's brand.  Basically, in past, I would say something like "It were just my efforts". But I am happily to say that now I always find creative and good people around and all this projects we are running it's all their efforts as well. So that's why tchibi is more and more involved in creative projects.. Because the circle of tchibi's collaborators and friends are growing fast. Yeah, guys who are working in brazil, I love you all. And also I miss Clicksp's fellas! I'll be back soon anyway, but I am happily about these guys I've meet here in Frankfurt am Main.  We just had a new photoshoot yesterday at city's central area and I can say it was fun and we got some wonderful pictures! Thanks you all and I hope everything goes fine to our next photoshoot here!
Well, I was wondering if I had post here some backstage pictures of the other shoots and I think I didn't. So now you can see this really nice people in action (and rockin in the pics!):



My fashion show is coming soon, 14th november. Good for you guys, kinda bad for me. Since I am rushing my deadlines like a crazy one. But since it's passion and love on this, I am sure I'll be very glad after the fashion show. It's indie power going around all these projects and I have to thank you all to follow it!
My next post will be about music... I'll explain it better tomorrow. Now let's go back to work!
See ya!
