effort to experience the many facets of fashion in an ever-evolving way , Ferreira found that travelling the world offered her a diverse palate of fashionable tastes , creating for her a veritable feast of inspirations , both tangible and intangible .
“ Fashion is an amazing communication tool , a single look can portray many messages or you can simply use it to convey beauty . In my work , most of the time we need the clothes to fit a particular idea , but sometimes I like to let myself be inspired by the pieces of clothing ,” said Ferreira , “ In these images seen here , the concept came together around the fake fur , its peculiar color and the luxurious feel of it .”
Now based in Toronto and attending the Toronto Fashion Academy , Ferreira attributes her recent successes to the school . “ I ’ ve worked with some good names , like ELLE magazine , Girls Night Out wine and Redken ,” said Ferreira , “ The school gave me the tools I needed to put all of my knowledge into practice and they have great partners who challenge the students to be more creative each day .” Her worldly advice to up and coming stylists ? “ Please don ’ t be fooled into believing that fashion styling is all parties and glamour . There is a lot of studying , practice and hard work that goes on behind the scenes before you can come to a place where the decisions look effortless . Also , don ’ t let your talent and ambitions turn you into a bad human being . Be kind and respectful of all of the people you work with because , like you , they are all just trying to do good work .”
