Really loved seeing this exhibition at @fcgulbenki

Really loved seeing this exhibition at @fcgulbenkian today during Museum Days in Lisbon with free entrance. Felt really emotional seeing the Alexander McQueen pieces for Givenchy. The first 11 slides are McQueen and then some Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, Fortuny whose museum @palazzofortuny_venezia I visited last year in Venice...more in stories if you want to get inspired!! Congratulations to the curators of the exhibition 👌🏻❤️‍🔥

It was my first time visiting Legnica and taking part in the @legnica_silver_festival
Happy I had the chance to exhibit my work in this context. Thanks to my dad for driving us there!

The peony season has already started, which somehow aligns with the launch of this print I designed for @fabrique.official last summer in Lisbon.
While visiting the @fcgulbenkian museum, I came across a description mentioning that peonies are considered a symbol of good luck in Chinese culture — a detail that stayed with me. It’s also one of my most beloved flowers.
For this print, I used Japanese watercolours. I’m reposting a few images from their website — I really like how ethereal and dreamy it turned out.
Currently open to work and collaborations💫

The amethyst horse with silver details, has travelled from my hands to Greece and now to London @elizatamo.
It’s not the easiest moment to keep going, but I am.
A few amulets are available, and I’m open to personal requests.
Ring me — the song has been my ringtone for years now.

This print I created over twenty years ago has been resurfacing on my feed lately.
I was reminded a few days ago that Kate Moss danced in it in a video for Primal Scream — something I had almost forgotten.
More recently, the struggling @alexandermcqueen label revisted it, producing 'an imitation' for their Spring/Summer 2026 collection...
It’s strange to see it now considered “vintage” — especially as some pieces appeared at auction in 2020.
Over the past few years I’ve been moving towards jewellery, but I still work as a print designer and I’m open to new commissions.
If you know someone looking to elevate their motifs — not necessarily within fashion — feel free to put us in touch. Would be amazing!

Are you into dreamy, unusual minerals like me?
I’m sharing a few screenshots from the webinar dedicated to the exhibition in Paris organised by @lecolevancleefarpels — which translates to Dreams of the Stones: Poetry and Minerals of Roger Caillois.
The real curiosities are the so called ruin marbles — paesine in French or pietra paesina in Italian — which actually come from Tuscany. Can you see the grottoes, the towers of San Gimignano, and entire landscapes in the beige ones?
I’m almost certain you could find some at @bramanti.firenze here in Florence - stones for private contemplation and meditation.
My favourites were the polyhedral agates and the trapeze-shaped ones though: those come from Brasil.
