- Nov 07, 2020
Right after high school, I moved to Rio and took classes to become a technician for a manufacturing factory where you had to figure out how to produce 3,000 pairs of jeans. But in Rio, I was by myself, which was very liberating, being so young. I got to do my own thing.

I wonder if I would have been less organic of a designer without my background. Maybe I would be more academic about designing, more methodical. I want things to be a certain way, and I'm very precise, but school itself wasn't that relevant for me.

My mom, she was unbelievable. She ran the whole town. She was like the mayor. There would be 15 people eating at our lunch table. She'd drag people from the street.

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not an artist. I'm a fashion designer of clothes.
- Impossible
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I drape a lot. I cut. I have to touch. For me, it's almost impossible to start without that.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just hate people who are lazy. To be on my team, you have to have energy and a sense of wanting to learn. That really excites me.

- Nov 07, 2020
I have no tolerance for boredom. I spend so many hours in the office, and I still love it.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
I get so much inspiration from my travels, but I also started an exercise where I write down so many words every week. Then I begin crossing them off. We create a grid of words and also images, but words for me are more ample because you can interpret them your own way.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't listen to music when designing. We create in silence. I go through a torturous process because everything has to be precise and right.

People don't really go to museums in Rio. I shouldn't say it's not sophisticated, but, you know, they go to the beach.
- My Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Rio was a period of my life, and then, poof, I'm gone. I was very young living here, just kind of floating. New York was a foundation for everything I do today. Rio was the bridge.

- Nov 07, 2020
When people ask me what it is about Brazil and my work, it's not something that I can say literally. It's unidentifiable. It's like when you do research and things inspire you. If you're smart enough, then obviously you don't take it literally. The inspiration will come out later somehow.
- Challenges
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I cannot live without art: it excites me, it challenges me, and it leads me to the next thing.
- Galleries
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Milan, for me, is a city of discovery. You can find some amazing gardens behind some great houses; I also love finding beautiful galleries and incredible shops, but you have to explore. And the food is amazing.
- Dress
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think the women that we dress, the women who buy our clothes, they have a certain strength. It could be about the clothes, it could be about themselves. It's just attractive.
- Fantastic

- Nov 07, 2020
When a sketch comes into this three-dimensional form and everybody contributes, it's really fantastic.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I say art influences me, which it does, it's not at all in a literal form. You go and see exhibitions or collections or meet an artist. It's all a compilation. Every moment, at all times, all this information. Then all this information disappears, and it shows up later in the process.
- Love

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm so not interested in gossip. It just gives me the creeps. I love the work; I love what I do. If somebody sends me an interview that has any connotation of something that's not interesting or genuine, I'm not interested. I really detach myself from it.
- Brand

- Nov 07, 2020

Each season I strive to design a forward-thinking and effortless collection with a very clean minimalist aesthetic.
- Architecture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm inspired by many things, from landscapes to textiles. Art and architecture always influence my design process.
