I have left behind the land of mangoes and tamarind
And have come to the land of wild petunias
Mother, you married me off to a place in the desert far away
Morubai, song of the Jogi Nath Kalbelia tribe

A tale told by cloth. Of women from far and near our hearts. Cloths that tell us the knowledge of time and that, together, are layette or “enxoval”, as we call it in Portuguese. The celebration of women and of cloths in the drawers. This collection was possible thanks to the collaboration and efforts of many women who, with the designer, believed in the magic of unity. Together with Aga Khan Foundation and Madalena Toscany Atelier, the clothes were made by real life fairies: lex bouquet made real dreams about vegetables and flowers turned into jewelry; Buketnaya lavka mimimi created shoes that are real bouquets with actual fresh flowers and the beautiful hand-made glass beads from the powerful ladies at Cooperativa de Valorização de Resíduos from São Tomé and Príncipe. The majority of the textiles used are from the designer’s grandmother collection or bought at flea markets all over the world.
