Thanks redbirdvintage !

I wanted to add that the beautiful Vintage jumpsuit is from private collection at Artifaktori, accessories and shoes are personal wardrobe and the snake cuffs from redbird. Love when I can bring Vintage to the modern girl (Alena) and have her looking flawless.

redbirdvintage:My Aunt Shirl gave me a snake necklace and bracelet set which I’ve loved for years.  I lent it to the talented d.aMa to use in a shoot with model Alena and the brilliant photographer Kris Rodammer.  Here is their stunning result! xo

Arlyce’s baby’s quilt. She asked all of her friends and family members to fill a square piece of fabric and give it back to her for her baby’s quilt. I didn’t know what to do other than a d.aMa dress.

Be patient. Be kind. And listen. Nothing else matters if you can’t deal with people. They either love or don’t, and that’s not even questioning your talent, but people are different and they love different things. But if you are patient, kind and listen they will pay attention to your work, and you will find your best fit. At the end of the day, they’ve got to depend on great work, not the great name. 

Toquinho and Jobim.. to a good weekend.

Last month Elise was d.aMa’s contest winner and I’ll be posting the making-of her new dress.

Freedom. At last.

Hey Thank you so much. Had no idea d.aMa meant sophisticated woman in Icelandic either..that’s amazing!!!..it means the same in Portuguese (my first language) and they are also the initials of my full name. Good to know that and thanks for the support and love.

2. Jefferson Airplane - Embryonic Journey (album: Surrealistic Pillow)

I still prefer poker face, but this will definitely get her some perplexed and scandalized faces. Oh well.

Gareth Pugh AW10/11

Sometimes we (artists) trade for the benefit of our work. We get together to work for each other. There’s a bit of a risk in working for trade. There’s always the money issue that gets you by the end of the month. But as long as I remember myself and love art I’ll trade anything with any talented artist and anyone that shows me passion. I guess not anything with anyone, you have to find boundaries. And step up whenever you can. It’s your life. And the artist, knowing it’s hard to value the work, needs to understand that there’s always something very true about the process. It’s like what Bob Dylan once said “You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past - whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever”. I find myself incredibly hating my work most of the time, but its the pressure of becoming that keeps the smile going. And the smile is also going for the amazing and inspiring talent found along the way. It’s kind of amazing. (Photo by Kris Rodammer, HMU by Lisa Roche, Styling by Amanda Antunes, modeled by Alena)

McQUEEN’S FINAL COLLECTION

The industry gathered solemnly yesterday at Francois Pinault’s headquarters to view the 15 piece collection that will be his last. As always, he manages to push the envelope (even now) ever so slightly forward by evolving his successful collection from last season with digitally engineered prints that embody the spirit of “Avatar-esque” futurism.

Buyers will be invited to view the entire 160 piece collection at his showroom Thursday, and parent company, PPR has said the line will continue where he left off. Rumors have swirled about bringing Gareth Pugh- who’s most recent collection was coined “the Wizard of Oz meets Predator” by Rick Owens for his stark modernist interpretations. However, Pugh’s people flatly deny that.

The thing about not having a car is that you get to experience these things. Like hearing a lady telling her daughter “Portuguese spoken in Brazil is fake”. Or someone else saying “You need Jesus in your life”. Or a guy pouring PBR in a mug and drinking like a warrior’s horse. Red line. You know, I don’t mind these things. I kind of like them. I guess it can only be appreciated by some people, or crazy people. I wonder that morality in mankind is not for everybody, preserving morality is much less appreciated. I am to follow these people, not for obligation or inertia…but because we somehow happen to be in the same wagon.

Sometimes I think that dignity will come with the crowd. Thus piteously they play the snare like it’s an endless force. Singing along and making me full of stories. I overheard:

“Now kiss me dear”.

What a dusty answer.

(another try) Every time I try to draw my boyfriend it reminds me of Jesus. Why can’t I just think that this picture is the boyfriend not Jesus, Jesus! Why do I even think I know how Jesus looks like?

Lost Things.

I was looking all morning for an image to wish women a Happy International Women’s DAY! So…here, I found. Happy day beautiful ladies of this not so happy world.

Feliz Dia Internacional da Mulher.

When I saw that dress I thought: “I want to work in Fashion!”

This afternoon, bohemea and I will be doing our live blogging of the red carpet arrivals of all the lovely ladies (and a few of the gents) for this evening’s Oscars ceremony. Expect lots of “Ohhhh shiny!” and “That is one boring dress, but thanks for trying, honey” and “THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!”

Unfortunately Lady GaGa won’t be there so we can’t expect anything super awesome and fashion risky/avant garde like Bjork’s memorable swan dress (with egg purse.)

Emil Klang, a swedish director launched another ambitious new project collaborating with international and Swedish fashion designers, among them also Dagmar, Hope, Noir et Blanc and Made by Noemi. Featuring 52 episodes exploring the links between fiction and fashion. I looked into his work and there’s more to it. Check back in 2007’s film “5 Positions” and “Disappearing” (2008).

” My ambition is to keep working and hang out with people who inspire me and transmit great feelings, a rare quality nowadays, but something that I definitely want to put into my films” Emil Klang
