Our story

It begins with my grandma and her enchanting closet. With so many secrets to discover inside, her nightgown, which I used as a mascarade costume, her other nighties and her 50ies dresses with some marvelous underskirts… And my mums pleated skirts and ruffled blouses with brooches, monthly meetings with seamstreeses, because this was necessity at the time, not a luxury.

In my childhood I was surrounded mostly with women, my grandmother, aunts, cousins…, we taken care of each other and nurish women identity by singing, cooking, sewing, crying, smoking and laughing …

Fashionstories are stories about women in my past, present and future.
