Creative Studio Co-Founding & Sustainable Fashion Collections – Capulesa Studio

INDUSTRY ➡️ Fashion Design & Accessories

ROLE ➡️ Co-Owner

PERIOD ➡️ Oct 2010 – Mar 2011

With a fellow fashion professional, I co-founded Capulesa Studio to give more visibility to my brand, Mimalho, and to explore new fashion ventures. We created accessories and flexible, unconventional clothing from surplus textiles from our region, staying true to the sustainability principles behind Mimalho.

🔹 Managed the studio and its collections of accessories and experimental fashion.

🔹 Continued the focus on textile upcycling, turning regional fabrics into sustainable designs.

🔹 Invested in distribution and marketing for both the studio's collections and Mimalho.

🔹 Collaborated with other creatives to explore new design concepts.

The studio struggled to grow during the economic crisis and eventually closed, but it gave me valuable insight into the fashion industry, entrepreneurship and growing a business in difficult times.
