INTRODUCTION
HELLO, I AM SARA MANGEON.
I AM A DREAMER AND TRY TO BUILD MY WORLD AROUND MY IMAGINATION, WITH PARALLEL
UNIVERSES AND MAGIC CREATURES.
COLLECTING IMAGES AND POSTING ON MY TUMBLR PAGE OCUPPIES THE MAJOR PART OF MY
FREE DAY. I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF BEAUTIFUL THINGS. I LOVE ALMOST ANY
FORMS OF ART AND ARTISTIC EXPRESSION, FROM FASHION TO ILLUSTRATION, CINEMA OR
EVEN WRITTING.
PREVIOUS TO MY FASHION DESIGN COURSE I TAKE 2 YEARS OF COMMUNICATION AND
CULTURE DEGREE IN WHICH I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF LANGUAGE USE ON
SOCIETY. THIS CANNOT BE SEPARATED FROM THE WHOLE OF HUMAN COMMUNICATIVE
ACTIVITY WHICH INCLUDES THE VISUAL PERCEPTION OF ALL FORMS: COLOR, TEXTURE,
SHAPE, PATTERN OR PORPORTION AND I CAN APLLY IT DAILY IN MY DESIGNS.
UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATING THE VALUE OF COMMUNICATION DOES NOT MAKE ME
NECESSARILY A GREAT VERBAL COMMUNICATOR. HOWEVER, THAT MAKES ME TRY HARDER TO
MAKE MY WORK TO SPEAK FOR ITSELF AND TO BE ORGANISED AND DISCIPLINED AND I
KNOW THAT I AM CONSIDERABLY FAST AT LEARNING AND EXECUTING. I AM ALSO VERY
GOOD AT TEAM WORK, SHARING, RESPECTING AND VALUING OTHERS AROUND ME.
I BELIEVE THAT WE ALWAYS MUST BE TRUE TO OURSELVES AND THAT ANY PERSON WHO IS
PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT THEY DO AND WORKS WITH DEDICATION WILL HAVE A LOT OF
GOOD THINGS GOING FOR THEM.

IDENTITY
F R OM LISBON TO PORTO
FROM HUMANITIES TO FASHION
O N E O F T HE MOST INT ERE STING THINGS A BOUT A
PERSON’S WORK IS KNOWING WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
UNDERSTANDING SOMEONE’S BACKGROUND MAKES YOU
SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
THE PAST REPRESENTS WHO WE ARE AS DESIGNERS
AND PROVIDES A MORE INTERESTING PRESPECTIVE ON
OUR ACTUAL WORK AND HOW WE CONCEIVE THE IDEAS.
SO I HOPE TO PROVIDE INSPIRATION THROUGH MY WORK.

FASHION
IT’S I N C R E D IBL Y FAS CIN A T I NG WHAT O N E CAN D O
TO THE APPEARANCE OF THE OTHERS. I SEE FASHION
AS
MORE THAN JUST PIECES OF CLOTHES.
IT’S MORE LIKE AN EXPERIENCE, BOTH FOR THE CONSUMER
AND THE DESIGNER. AS THE DESIGNER, CREATING STYLES
HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ADVENTUROUS PROCESS.
EVERY TIME YOUR DESIGNS ARE TAKEN HOME YOU ARE
ENTERING SOMEONE’S PRIVATE SPACE AND LIFE AND THAT
IS THE GREATEST THING OF ALL.
