Hey guys check out some new pieces!!! xx

Light as a feather

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of feathers is the sense of protection and the fact that it helps a bird to fly. Since I was little I've always wanted to fly, well maybe not just me and half of our humanity, but I did and have always somehow indentify myself with feathers = fly. This week reminiscing the late McQueen (which btw I'm still very sadden by it) I remered his 2008 spring collection where he showed a tie dye feather gown with an exquisite neck piece, and for fall 2009 collection where he had a black all feather suit which it really looked like you could take of with it, conclusion seems like feathers always influenced his designs, I guess. Well, but back to my point, I really like to use it in a lot of my designs. When I started designing exclusively for a local store called Zue (www.zuestore.com.br) I used some details with feathers so I decided to bring that to this collection. I like to mix it with different bracelets, my fav skull bracelet and some other ones I found along the way. So here it is, and I promise to get better pictures soon, I'm no pro when it comes to photography so I still have to practice a little more to get better lighting and all that stuff, or just get a professional to do it for me.
Have a great weekend!!! xx

Back to...well...Fashion

For the past year and a half I have not been that into fashion. I was not interested in looking at any fashion websites or have seen any collection from any designers, which before used be my breathing mechanism. Well, lately I've been having the urge to look again and check out what's out there and the new up-and-coming designers, and a new designer grabbed my attention. His name is Prabal Gurung and all I know about this designer is that he was born in Singapore, for the first time showed his collection in the tents at New York Fashion Week and most importantly has an amazing vision. What caught my eye was the electric royal blue he used in his 2010 spring collection. This blue reminds me of the blue I used on my recent collection, which by the way I absolutely love love and find it extremely exciting in seeing it on clothes specially on structured jackets which I am obsessed with. I edited a couple of his designs that were my favorite (the pictures come from his website www.prabalgurung.com) and my own designs, check it out! xx

Between ropes and chains

(click on the images to see it larger)

It's been a while since I've been trying to come up with a new concept, a new style, and a new brand. After so much running around and no inspiration I finally got to the point of almost giving up, and right there in the middle of my chaotic life I felt something and got right back to work. I had ideas, so many, but nothing would come out of it until I mixed a few of my favorite things together. I started to create again and that lit a fire within. Oir (pronounced or) was born and the result of my first collection is the "Alice in Chains Collection", where I mix silk-ropes, chains, semi-precious stones and vintage pieces. I've always been a fan of practical style and find my pieces to be wearable during the day with the perfect sundress or at night with your favorite LBD. I hope you enjoy it and hope to hear comments and feedbacks. I will update regularly so you get to see pieces as they come out of the oven.
