MARIA MIMOSA

A Tribute to Women

“Looking to the future” is a preeminent necessity that is often invoked in the aesthetic sense what fashion represents.  As progressive as our feelings may be, we must admit that today would be a void without yesterday and in this order of ideas, tomorrow would be a continuous line in space.

This season I want to show the winter collection 2019/2020 in a different formula that goes beyond fashion. Driven by Sanrio's invitation to create a mini commemorative collection for Hello Kitty's 45th anniversary, I awakened to a whole list of memories. Among them is the most obvious, the fact that Kitty and I as woman nowadays we can be, and to do, with some freedom what many have suppressed for decades. I realized that we share the year and the way our names are written, but I also found other similarities between Kitty's universe and mine. Kitty background story where she is portrayed as an English girl, made me remember and live memories of my childhood in South America, establishes a comparison with Kitty, speaks of my memories and worries and thanks women with courage, who have made this growth possible.
