Saudade

My name is Diana Sousa, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as a recent graduate fashion student with a deep appreciation for my Portuguese heritage. Having studied fashion design at Middlesex University, I am passionate about merging my creativity and skills with the rich cultural traditions of Portugal. Growing up in a country known for its intricate textiles, I draw inspiration from the Portuguese culture of pain and saudade, the state of living missing something, to create unique and captivating fashion pieces. My goal with this collection is to showcase the beauty of Portuguese culture through contemporary designs embracing modern trends. Through my work, I aspire to contribute to the dynamic fashion industry and bring a touch of Portuguese charm to the global stage.
