Couleurs du Paradis

INSPIRED BY THE COLORS OF SOUTH AMERICA…

Born in Chicago, I moved to Ecuador at the age of 8, where my world was transformed by the vibrant colors of its landscapes. We lived in the small town of El Empalme in Guayas, and the flora and fauna left an impression on me with hues so vivid they seemed otherworldly.

As an adult, I now spend the beginning of each year in Rio de Janeiro, my second home and constant source of inspiration. While Botafogo is my favorite neighborhood, my creative journey is also shaped by the beaches of Ipanema, the modernist architecture of Oscar Niemeyer, the colors of Santa Teresa, sunsets in Arpoador, picnics at Lagoa, and the lush beauty of Parque Lage. This collection reflects cherished memories of South America, with each piece named after a place close to my heart. I hope you enjoy adding a little South American color to your wardrobe.
