What inspires me as a designer and what do I seek to convey to brides and all my clients?

It's funny, but there are times when I would say that everything inspires me, and others when nothing does. The truth is that over time I've learned to appreciate both days full of ideas, energy, and motivation; and those where stress, problem-solving, or tiredness drain me. Both are necessary, and in the end, I gather information from both.

My way of consciously seeking inspiration is by going to art exhibitions, watching movies, looking at new fabrics, reading, or listening to stories from acquaintances or my clients; I create the wardrobe for the book of their lives. Of course, I look at Pinterest, but I don't just look at fashion trends and clothes; I like to find special phrases, images that are sometimes just conceptual, decor, graphic design, nature, and architecture. Of course, I find great ideas when traveling to other countries or even in my own city, as well as getting lost in a forest.

Other times, fabrics take shape in my head when I go through certain moods; I always want to dress my emotions. If I feel in love, I move soft fabrics in the air; in spaces of melancholy, I tear textures of pale and gray tones; when angry, I drape with stressed seams; happy and energetic, I build images of bright color and imagine fabrics with a lot of movement and drape.

In general, all emotions are necessary; the ups and downs make life beautiful and worth celebrating. I think this is one of the first things I try to convey to my clients.

On the other hand, I love that everyone tells and appreciates their own personal story; I want them to be able to express what makes them feel unique in a dress. They have the power to bring garments to life. As a designer, I want everyone: brides, mothers of the brides, bridesmaids, graduates, guests, etc.; to see themselves in the mirror with their dreams materialized, and to remember themselves as beautiful, strong, and capable of achieving everything they desire.
