OBFS: How did you start your business? 
Camilla Salles: The fashion took centre stage in my life 9 years ago! I was on last year of my law school when I realized that law would never make me happy.I stopped working and went to study fashion day and night! In just 2 months I was already working with Adriana Barra (at the time, beginning her career as well). I spent almost four years with her and then went to work at Daslu, where I stayed for 3 more years.My brand was born in late 2009, totally focused on the wholesale market in Brazil, and was a hit right off the bat! In a few months I was present in 60 retail outlets in Brazil!

 

OBFS: What's your background and school age? 
Camilla Salles: I'm 32 years old and I graduated in law and did post-graduation in Fashion and Creation. But nothing like practice... I do not compare any course in the world better than putting own "hands on"!

OBFS: How do you feel the acceptance of Brazilian fashion into the European market?  
Camilla Salles: I think that it has changed considerably in recent times. But I still think the market in general is backward, like everything else, which does not mean it has a lot of creative and good people  around here, without any doubt ...
