Look of the week: ATELIÊ DE ALBUQUERQUE

It's a new year and a new you, so why not be a little bit more experimental when it comes to your fashion choices - I sure will be. 




Lina de Albuquerque, the fashion design behind this label first studied in the heart of Brazil, where she was born and raised. Today she is found crossing between Germany, Switzerland, UK and Portugal which has no doubt helped to inspire her in the creation of her collections. 
The main reason I like her A/W '11 collection so much is because the designer manages to take the classic and mix it with graphic details, so that little black dress now has a little va va voom.



“Fully balancing the contrast between the clean and purist, often reserved Northern European style with her hot-blooded Latin roots”
