Pedro Reis, Fashion Designer
My inspiration comes from what is around me
It can be a movie, a song, a person, a plant, a flower, an animal.
My job is to interpret that inspiration according to my esthetic and identity as a designer
I try to use what already exists and create something new
it's a way of recreating through research of materials, doing experiences with materials, different cust, silhouettes..
I adapt something I already saw
a person, a song and I try to show what I feel when I see those things.
and I try that people feel the same way when they see my garment.
I live in Braga
What I like the most about Braga is the quality of life that I have
I have time to work
time to see my friends
time to do what I love to do
time to take walks
I love to take long walks through the streets of Braga
I love the environment of Braga
The people, their hospitality, their receptivity
Usually when I do a photoshoot
and Editorial or even a runwayshow
there is always a group of energies that get together
that concentrates on the model and the moment in which she is on the runway and in front of the camera.
That energy comes from my work, from my garments
from the idea and imagem I have for that woman
but it also comes from the other professionals
the hair and make-up artists, the photographers
the team that produces the event or photoshoot.
I normaly feel comfortable when I work with other people in who I trust
I also try that the other person feels fullfilled with this team work
I love working as a team.
when we work as a team, thinkng together to achieve the same goal
the results are much better that if I was thinking alone.
Fashion design appeared in my life a bit by chance.
I was studying medicine, working part time and had some free time
I decided I want to take an arts course
I was walking in the street when I saw a school here in Braga
there was a course in fashion design
It seemed interesting, so I decided to apply
I never imagined that this was going to be my career and what I really like to do now.
My dream is to be recognized as a designer.
I also want that people recognize my work and accepted what I do
That‘s my dream.
