Inspired By Paris.

Cliché: Paris Je t’aime.
But the truth is that I really love paris. It’s bright, clean, busy, noisy, chic, inspiring, smelly and of course extremely beautiful. The vibe is so good. I feel good!
At the moment I’m working on a concept “inspired by paris”. The following photos are part of it. Enjoy it.

When I was a kid, way before being teenager, I wanted to be a ballerina (bailarina in portuguese). And this photograph makes me feel like dancing. It inspires me. I think about mirrors, wooden balustrades, tulle, light, big windows and space, lots of free space.

I love classics. And that goes from furniture, to clothes, and of course cars. I love cars. A car is just a power identification tool. I own this car, therefore I am. It tells a lot about the owner. And this Citroen is just stunning. Well, I love all Citroen Classics.

And look at this view: the colour and how beautifully polished it is. I can imagine who owns it actually. I wonder if the owner lives in this beautiful and classy building where the car is parked, because they really go well together.

This perspective is very inspiring. I want to design stripes (again) but in a different perspective and different thicknesses. This photo gives me ideas for horizontal and vertical stripes for a 18th century apartment...

These photos are beautiful and inspiring. I adore the first photo as well, it takes me to the ballet and it makes me feel happy. Funny how one image can stir up so many emotions. Hope you've had a lovely weekend!
