Her brand comes from a crossroads of timeless ideas, a journey between the past and the future, the mutation of the natural state into a more urban, more futuristic universe.
The proposals of Cristina Real develop from straight lines that are being shaped through the joining of several elements. The mixture of cuts and materials leads us to explore the shape, the detail and the transformation of the piece. Each piece is unique and tells us a story.
REAL FANTASY
Real Fantasy is a journey through the inspirational dream world, where the heterogeneity of different areas plays together (art, architecture and landscape).
The works of Roberto Burle Marx, Hélio Oiticica and Oscar Niemeyer (and their technical complexity) together with the joviality sensed in Rio de Janeiro, lead us to a journey where different fragments of creative expression are intersected.
The fusion of nature with the surrounding urban space originates a lightness of expressions: the simplicity and energy of a volleyball game, the joy of a sunset and its different shades, the calçadão and its aesthetics, the softness of beach vibes, the relativity of time and of thoughts, the ambiguity of classic and modern, the freedom of everything being possible in our cloud.
This collection is synonymous with the youthful spirit revolution, informal meetings, bold ideas and opening for new adventures: the mysticism of being and living unconcerned, the uncertainty of the future, the importance of momentary pleasure.
The materials are: silk satin, musseline, pleated musseline, textured twill, synthetic fur, neoprene and sequins.
The color palette includes pink, light pink, lilac, blue, light blue, green, yellow, beige and black.
