Lisbon, Portugal: India That Wears You

Posted on May 20, 2011 | Leave a comment

India That Wears You, for chic Bohemian travellers. Nice meeting with Graça Cordovil, the owner and fashion designer of the eponymous brand spends every year months in India :

– India inspires me for life and colors, mostly Rajasthan and New Delhi. I like people, fashion doesn’t interest me. My designs make the beauty come out. I like looking at people that come in my shop. I’ve started five years ago, before I worked in alternative medicine like Shiatsu. And I realized my first collection this year.

The useful nomad spirit of her cotton jersey line transforms a casual dress in a trendy sarouel jumpsuit :

– Designs as comfortable as a pyjama that you transform to bring out your own identity.

Fun and simple. Graça also proposes soles and accessories to create your own flip flops (first photo), and some Portuguese young designers embroided totes (picture below) and belts.

Lisbonne, Portugal: India That Wears You

India That Wears You, pour voyageuses bohèmes chics. Jolie rencontre improvisée avec Graça Cordovil, la propriétaire et créatrice de la marque éponyme qui passe plusieurs mois en Inde par an :

– L’Inde m’inspire pour la vie et les couleurs, le Rajasthan et New Delhi. J’aime les gens, la mode ne m’intéresse pas. Mes vêtements doivent faire ressortir la beauté de chacun. J’aime rencontrer les gens qui entrent dans mon magasin. J’ai commencé il y a cinq ans, avant je faisais de la médecine alternative, comme le Shiatsu. Et j’ai réalisé ma première collection cette année.

L’esprit nomade et pratique de sa ligne en Jersey de coton, permet de transformer une robe casual en combinaison saharouel tendance :

– Des pièces aussi confortables qu’un pyjama que vous transformez pour exprimer votre propre identité.

Simple, (ré)créatif. Graça propose des semelles et accessoires pour créer soi-même ses tongs selon l’inspiration du jour (première photo), et aussi des fourre-tout brodés et ceintures d’autres jeunes créatrices portuguaises.

Sintra, Portugal: Tivoli Palacio De Seteais, A Room

Posted on March 27, 2011 | Leave a comment

A buccolic retreat in the amazing Tivoli Palacio De Seteai overhanging Sintra. Synonymous with an extreme refinement, you’ll precioulsly keep the adress of this 18th century gem. Volumes, architecture, interiors and the green settle bring you a deep feeling of calm. Cosy room with two big windows opened to a big French garden. The highly urban girl (me, me, me!) might forget her laptop! A Nespresso coffee maker for the addictive and the old-style bathroom. I walk in the large corridors like the caracters of the culte Resnais movie, “Last Year at Marienbad“, with a timeless feeling! love this place.
