When you create a new collection, imagine the pieces first, or there is a first reflection you wish to convey, as is the case fur collection, and last chance to see, where they addressed the theme of fur in fashion, an ironic way, but that also serves as a warning to the defense of wildlife?
SL: It depends, I have no rules, and I do not always feel the need to send a message. When you feel it, do it like the TV off or collection and the other two you mention, more the "Last Chance to See" (endangered species) than the fur, which went more for a graphical view.
In the TV off, there was a bet in strong colors, but you also wanted shock people with this collection? Because it covers the faces of models?
SL: The idea was just to show completely knitted figures such as dolls made by grandmothers in front of the television. I did not want to shock anyone! When I think of a collection, I image it with all the details on the concept, since the materials, to how to go forward.
The impression exists largely in your work, what does attract you in these most industrialized in this material that you use in the closes? What do you want with it?
SL: It's a vehicle to communicate my ideas like any other.
I did a course in silk screen and started to explore this technique from now.
Draw strips was inspired by Japanese bands? What attracted you and what you have decided to address? The inherent minimalism?
SL: Drawnstrips is also a very graphic collection, came out of reading Japanese comics, black and white where the mesh and netting produced with the pen, define the shadows in the drawing. I wanted to, appropriating the cultural context of which I pass this interpretation of reality to design itself as a game of reflexes.
How did happen the collaboration with Nike and how you develop the theme? You sewed filters, why?
SL: The collaboration with Nike was by invitation. I used small figures cut out of felt to the idea to image the stands full of fans and all the energy that it conveys the projected player. I loved doing this project and I was very pleased with the outcome. The piece had throbbed with energy and had movement. It was felt because it is not a material that cut doesn't reels off and because is available in vibrant colors.
