This month, I had the honour of getting to know the Portuguese designer Anabela Baldaque. It happened at the Opening of her store on the 9th of April.
Due to the stylist several years of career, this is the first time she opens her own store in Lisbon. Her store is situated in Principe Real, where she shares and counts with the partnership of Paulo Cassio, a fashion and interior design expert.
Anabela and Paulo where since the beginning of the event greeting and chatting with their guests that were present for welcoming the creators and their creations, at the new store.

Este mês tive a honra de conhecer a estilista portuguesa, Anabela Baldaque, na abertura da sua loja, no dia 9 de Abril.
Apesar dos seus vários anos de carreira, esta é a primeira vez que a estilista abre a sua própria loja, em Lisboa, no Príncipe Real. Este é o espaço que partilha e onde conta com a parceria de Paulo Cassio, um especialista em moda e design de interiores.
A Anabela e o Paulo estiveram desde o início do evento a receber e conversar com os seus convidados, que compareceram ao evento para dar as boas vindas aos criadores e às suas criações. 

Before going to the event, I already was a huge admirer of Anabela. Her story and passion for fashion and styling started when she was just a child. She used to create her dolls clothes and later she started doing it with her own attire.


Her fashion education journey started at Gudi School, Porto and extended to Paris American Academy in France.  At her 20’s she was already working for stylists like Emilio Pucci, in Italy. But her first design being sold had to wait until London, while she was visiting a store, the retailer liked the jacked Anabela was wearing (designed by her) and wanted to buy it immediately.


Tornei-me uma admiradora da Anabela, pouco antes de ir ao evento, guiada pela curiosidade que o seu nome me tinha suscitado. A sua história e paixão pela moda e pelo estilismo começaram quando ela era apenas uma criança. Ela mesma era a estilista das suas bonecas, para as quais desenhava e criava roupa e mais tarde, passou a fazer o mesmo com o seu guarda-roupa.
A sua educação e influências passaram pela Escola Gudi, no Porto; Paris American Academy, em França e pouco demorou para que começasse a trabalhar para artistas como Emilio Pucci, em Italia. No entanto, o seu primeiro modelo a ser vendido teve que esperar até Londres, onde, enquanto visitava uma loja, foi interpelada pela dona da mesma, que gostou do casaco que a Anabela levava vestido e quis comprá-lo de imediato.



Later on, she returned to Portugal and continued her successful path not only nationally but also abroad. Today she still is a constant and important presence at national events such as Portugal Fashion and Moda Lisboa (Lisbon Fashion Week).

Mais tarde, Anabela regressou a Portugal, continuando a sua carreira bem-sucedida, não exclusivamente a nível nacional, como também internacional. Hoje, ela continua a ser uma presença contante e importante em eventos nacionais como o Portugal Fashion e o Moda Lisboa.
