The idea came literally of a dream of Lidiane Duailibi. A collection of accessories made of crochet which draws its inspiration in nature. These are earrings, rings and headbands made with passion, in warm hues that complement each other in a simple and elegant way. They are a treat for all of all women.
How do you come up with the idea?
Lidiane Duailibi: It was very funny. When I was a girl I did crochet. My mother lived many years of this art. She put us all doing crochet, there were five of us, the three sisters helped her. I did the most, because I was the oldest. However, in our school we have many children and a girl showed up with a flower in her hair made of crochet. I thought it was cute and said I do one for you, as a present. I slept, I dreamed with whole collection and the next day I decided to buy the lines and make the accessories. So, it was born, from the children I see every day.
What is the meaning of the name?
LD: I like flowers, like fleur-de-lis, of Lidiane, over there. So I decided to put it all together and the name was born. It was first discovered and is one of those names that come by inspiration. It all happened naturally. For the collection no model had to be redone, I never said this is not what I wanted. My daughter, Clara, did a search on the internet and saw many things that had nothing to do with what I am doing, but also served as an inspiration.
Why this lines, this colors?
LD: It's amazing, we have this in our back memory or I imagined. I think it's a lot of my childhood, my mother worked a lot with string, made many networks in crude colors. Hence my choice and I also have many different shades, because this summer is all colorful. There are many orange for children and pink and blue. I chose the more neutral colors that could "dance" freely thru those tones. There are accessories that I like so much, as the one it appears on the logo, which I decided that in all the collections I always have this piece. One or two that will be immortalize.
How many pieces you created for this collection?
LD: We have two models of leaf-shaped earrings, as I call it, major and minor. And three more types of flowers that range in this color palette, such as gold straw, black are always an elegant evening, green, brown and raw. Are the colors of the adult collection. For children, I "played" a little, I used pink, green and blue. I really like beads, but is only put a "smell". I did not want to overdo it. It is an appointment, a discreet colorful. I want this collection is beautiful by itself, the colors, the design of crochet and the abundant shades for summer.
Who are the women of flor d'ali?
LD: Are all the women I encounter in my day-to-day basis. The mummies of my students. My lifelong best friends. The people I admire. It is a very passionate collection. Everything I do comes with passion. Mix all. Not a single crochet. It is made with great care for the woman definitely more feminine and prettier. A treat for us.
