african mood collection
african mood The chosen theme for this project was “African Mood�, which entitles the collection on focus, because I see African culture as a way to escape reality. This approach was chosen because of African cultural diversity and its roots in dance and music, meaning a constant celebration of life.
CONTEM PORARY TRADI TION
CONTEM PORARY TRADI TION
The theme chosen for this collection is Gondomar’s ďŹ ligree heart by exploring its struture. The concept is a tribute to my birth place and my grandfather, a retired goldsmith in the capital of jewelry who taught me the basic techniques of gold and silver. This project tries to congregate the contemporary together with the Portuguese tradition, combining the best of both worlds in a unique interpretation, a sportswear line.
