  • Colour picking inspired by nature

    Colour picking inspired by nature

    This is my mood board inspired by nature.

    Last month, I went on holiday to Brazil. I was born near the Pantanal where nature is always in the spotlight. I caught up with friends and family and, most of all got to remember how beautiful and colorful nature can be. Colour picking is certainly inspiring next to it.

    I realized that our natural beauty rules everything. If the color of the season is not suitable for my skin, I don’t pick it. Choosing to follow the trends it is certainly a fashion-forward move, but,  staying true to our identity is precious. In my 44 years of life, I learned that a mood board is crucial to a creative mindset. The above-board set my mood to a natural and #sustainable palette in a fashion that should be sustainable, friendly and fair.

    Looking into my passion for fashion, I vision unique designs created from minimum disposable to the environment, fair wages to workers involved in the production, conscious consumption. I enjoy attending fashion weeks, they are insightful. Tonight is the open of the Dutch Sustainable Fashion Week, such initiative works on the change of the unsustainable behavior in the fashion world.

    That fashion moment of mine

    When visiting Sao Paulo you got to see this ghetto. Not easy to find but well-known for its colorful and contemporaneous style. It is near Vila Madalena, where alternative people can be found.

    I was caught in that fashion moment of mine! It was colourful, eye-catching and inspiring. I was attracted to the street art like I wanted to have it transferred to my clothing instantly.
