Did you ever thought of making your own clothes, own label and own shop when you are young? I believe it’s many fashion designer’s dreams! Today, let’s see how my new friend, Poppy, made her dream come true :)


Poppy Lissiman was founded in 2009, what made you start doing your own brand?
It sounds really clichéd but I started my own label after I couldn’t find certain pieces in the market that I wanted to wear. My mother taught me to sew at a young age so I have always made clothes for myself and occasionally friends, starting my own label just seemed like the most natural thing to do. It has always been a goal to have my own shop one day as well, starting my label would be the first stepping stone to getting my name out there and eventually having my own store.

For global fashion brands, Brazil is a land of opportunity. Just last year, Diane von Furstenberg, Gucci, LV, Missoni, Chanel and Burberry have made, or are making, investments here, opening stores in major urban centres, São Paulo. Today, we are happy to invite Satiko and Isabel from Sao Paulo to share their own experience with us!

Satiko+Isabel was founded in 2011, what made you start doing your own brand?
Satiko: In 1982 I created mine first brand ROUPAS, together with a partner, we were two designers. In 1999 we split and I created the brand SATIKO. In 2001, my daughter Isabel came to be part of the company and we started designing the collections together.

We all know South Africa is developing rapidly in recent years, including fashion industry. We are so happy to have a chance to talk with Alice Heusser from Lalesso. She is so kind to talk about how she builded up her own brand Lalesso and how her design life is in South Africa! At the moment as we talked, she is right in Diani Beach, Kenya, designing her new collection and the studio is out-doors over looking the Indian Ocean! It really surprised us and the scene is really amazing!
