After the fashion show came the invitation to create the scenography for the windows. And, from Jardin des Tuileries, the arms of Valkyrie Miss Dior extended to the flagship stores from the French maison all over the world.
It's been an amazing journey since we first welcomed the Dior team to our Lisbon studio. Creating Valkyrie Miss Dior, presenting the collab together in France and later in China. Seeing the project evolve and get a life of its own as the arms of the textile sculpture spread out to the windows and upwards. Creativity blooming, creating a bridge between fashion and the art world, we are truly enjoying every step of the way.
Fashion and I have a very special kind of relationship, I was honored to meet many designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Julien MacDonald, John Galliano... When Valentino was at the Studio he said 'you work just like a fashion house' because my work involves seamstresses, embroidery, and fabric. The main difference is that I don't work with the body but with space itself.
