When we were kids, my two cousins and I used to sneak into my grandmother Eva's bedroom, open the old closet's door to find the most sacred drawer: the one full of silk scarves… there were tens of them, in all colors, sizes and designs, made of pure silk, cool and soft and exciting…. We had this ritual where we would dress up from head to toe in these scarves, wrap them around ourselves, imagining we were princesses from a faraway kingdom… This was my grandmother Eva, her home would always ignite the imagination and inspire us to play and explore…

When I was much older, Eva gave me a century-old book filled with drawings made by hand describing different forms of nature, from a time when there were still no photographs used in books... it was a treasure revealed with numerous inspirations, taking me onto a new journey...
Adding my own impression to these mysterious and naive images... I brought the old into the new... combining the handmade with the digital... creating a new playful world of colors and forms...
Creating The Fantasy Collection I discovered the beauty and numerous possibilities of 2D digital design.... It was important to me to keep the features and details of the hand-made, and give it a new life in these colorful and voluptuous scarves...
