When Sol Columbia showed me her new dress Lisbon I was delighted. Not only because of the dress itself, but because it’s so good to see Sol back at creating after having missed her for quite some time.

Lisbon is sweet. Like the capital of Portugal is has an antmosphere of it’s own. You can loose yourself in Lisbon. In the narrow alleys of the old city and in the atmosphere, the saudade, that typical portuguese mix of melancholy and sensuality. Listen to some old recordings of Fado singer Amalia Rodriguez and you’ll know what I mean. Sol’s Lisbon is the on the bright side of the city’s character. A lovely floral design that has a hint of orientalism, maybe referring to the former portuguese colonial presence in the east, and rich vibrant colours that reflect sunny Portugal and the cool Atlantic ocean. Spicy red like chilies, Silver like the full moon over the city during a summer’s night, Gold like the sun that is gentle in spring and torments in the summer and the loveliest Aquamarine blu for the water that set portuguese sailors to sail off and discover the unknown part of the world in the 15th century. I’m loosing myself here.

Anyway, what I meant to say is that I really love this new dress. Could have left it just at that… but I thought that it would be nice sharing how fashion sometimes makes me dream off and reminisence about places I’ve been to or fantasize about places that I would love to visit.

Sol’s Luminosity is located at Luminous Island (83, 117, 31)
