A design with not many bad temper

Written by 

Cristina Costa signed  and creates a collection of t-shirts with a purpose, bringing humor and a bit of rascality to our lives.


The project of  Mau Feitio comes in the life of Cristina Costa, "almost by chance, was not a planned thing, nor have any specific training in design or illustration, I have graduated in Modern Languages ​​and Literatures, but I've always liked fashion , and drawing. " A taste that led her to create pieces for herself  T-shirts, tunics y dresses, always with a touch of humor and irony that is characteristic that distance  her work from the concept of standardized fashion collections.
After a trial period creating just for friends and family, decides to make the leap and implement its limited edition for the Portuguese market. But before he had to give a name to this project, "at first I thought of foreign names, but then one of those days when nothing goes right, somebody told me you're with a bad temper today, I liked it and stayed."


The commercialization of the product itself started with  a blog as a way of disseminating  her work and later, "I started looking for stores gto sell my limited  series. First of all, was the Muuda in Porto, to my great joy and satisfaction they bought  the entire collection and from there began to take the project, which started as a hobby, more seriously. " However, the designer intends to "expand the range to other parts, including pillows, tote-bags, wallets, finally, is what is dictating the imagination."

Mau Feitito is born, fruit of the imagination and persistence of Cristina Costa who, inserts in her fashion objects craft ideas also apply, with the most diverse materials, from "the application of wool, recycled and some toys almost always applied in order of telling a story. "
The illustration, however, is another technique widely used, " drawing and painting in the piece itself, sometimes painting after another fabric that is sewn by hand in the final piece. Turns out to be a rather lengthy and detailed, hence the reduced number of parts made, which, moreover, gives a stamp of uniqueness to each piece. "

"What can never lack is the irony and humor. I  like you to enjoy my pieces of art in itself but it gives me greater satisfaction to see people smiling and find jokes sometimes hidden "she said.
