Hey, I’m Marina!

And I’m here to help you feel inspired to rediscover your own clothes and creative wisdom, reconnecting with what you truly love as you start a new season of your life.

A little about me: I’m 33 years old, a mother of a small child, and a citizen of the world.

In 3 decades of life, I’ve lived in 3 different countries and experienced 3 different cultures and languages – in Germany, Brazil and the UK. Different cities, new connections, new jobs and projects, and many new beginnings.

No matter where I am, whatever changes happen around the world – Hey, Climate Change! Hey, COVID-19! – clothes are my home. They carry my roots, my history, the connections I’ve made throughout life, and my fascination for textiles and handicrafts.

In 2011, I began a career as a Fashion Designer. I got my dream job straight after graduation in one of Brazil’s pioneering brands in sustainable fashion.

At that time, I believed the environmental impact of the fashion industry started right there where I was: in the creation and production of clothes. Today, I have another perspective: the impact we create starts in our own relationship with our body and clothes.

When I ask people “What did you see, think or feel when opening your wardrobe this morning?” – I often hear: A mess… A lot of stuff! OR I didn’t even look at my wardrobe OR I feel bored...

We get stuck, paralysed by too much choice. Clothes are everywhere, but we cannot see them for what they are.

I aim to uncover the role that clothes play in our lives, exploring their potential to nourish our creativity and ever-changing bodies.

I believe that to create a better world (for ourselves and future generations) we need to be able to value who we are right now and the resources that are available to us – time, energy and clothes!

My approach to this has been to use our daily moment of getting dressed as an opportunity for self-discovery and creative practice.

By becoming aware of the stories that are hidden in each piece of clothing we wear (or don’t wear), we become FREE! – We begin to follow our curiosity and to trust our creative wisdom to make better decisions.

I work the way I do because my goal is to give voice to a culture of freedom, in which we value life changes as they are: a chance to reconnect with our values and what fascinates us the most, to allow ourselves to feel pleasure and joy, to use our creative power to create meaningful change.

By transforming our relationship with what surrounds us – from our bodies, to our clothes and physical environment – we can create meaningful change in our life and in the world.

My life’s mission is to open an intimate conversation about the value of clothes, revealing the beauty and freedom we can find in each piece of clothing inside our wardrobes.

I’m here to help you reframe how you look at your clothes & break free from the rules that are holding you back to create the change you want to see in your life.

Are you ready to change from Inside Out?
Count on me to guide you and inspire you!
