O décimo capítulo do nosso The Book é o mais especial para nós. Começamos por explicar que isto não é sobre nós, é exactamente sobre o oposto.
No final do ano, é normal pensarmos (mais) nos outros. Não só nos mais próximos, família e amigos, mas também nos que, por circunstâncias da vida, não vão poder reunir a família nas condições ideais. Ou em quaisquer circunstâncias,.
Neste artigo, destacamos 3 associações que conhecemos e acompanhamos o trabalho, naquela que é a causa que mais nos toca: as crianças. Apoiar e investir no bem-estar e na educação das próximas gerações é uma forma de contribuirmos não só para o bem-estar das mesmas, como contribui para um futuro melhor, com menos desequilíbrios e carências. Este ano, uma % das nossas vendas de Dezembro irão beneficiar estas mesmas instituições, sendo que desafiamos a conhecê-las.
NOVO FUTURO | São 8 os lares que abrigam 75 crianças com cuidados físicos, emocionais e sociais, num ambiente seguro. Com o extra de privilegiar grupos de irmãos. Descubra como ajudar, aqui.
AJUDA DE BERÇO | Uma das mais emblemáticas instituições de Lisboa, a Ajuda de Berço proporciona um presente digno e feliz a crianças até aos 3 anos, que esperam por um futuro – uma família de adopção, o regresso à família biológica ou outro colo onde encontrem a proteção que merecem e precisam. Conheça melhor o projecto, aqui.
LAR DE SANTA CRUZ | As "influencers" que nos ajudam a nossa mensagem (e criações) aos seus seguidores, também a nós nos influenciam. E o nosso acompanhamento do Lar de Santa Cruz é um perfeito exemplo disso. A influencer Maria Valente (Maryzinha) deu-nos a conhecer esta instituição e não são raras as vezes que promove o trabalho da mesma, assim como a doação em alturas mais sensíveis. O Lar de Santa Cruz recebe e educa crianças e jovens para um desenvolvimento emocional saudável, assim como preparação para um dia a dia autónomo. Saiba como ajudar, aqui.

The woman's blazer was always a favorite of mine. In this week's article, i decided to share a little bit of the story of this amazing garment - because it's more than a beautiful piece of clothing, it's versatility and real wearability, but it's also power and history. Find out why:
Almost 300 years after the men's suit was created, actress Sarah Bernhardt began wearing her, at the time, “boy’s clothes” in public. In 1870, a woman sporting a man’s suit was scandalous, but this controversy didn’t keep her from further challenging gender roles (like the lead role in Hamlet, in 1899). Ahead of her time in many ways, Ms. Bernhardt was the original champion for what has become the sartorial calling card of modern women.
- Thank you so much, Sarah! -
40 years later, the suffragette movement was in full swing and with it came women who were bolder and more active. Among many other things, that meant: less restrictive clothing. Behind what was called the Suffragette Suit, was a hallmark of progressive woman and inspired icon and fashion grande dame Coco Chanel. Possibly the most well-known designer to make women’s suits, Chanel gained popularity during the first World War by eschewing corsets for tailoring and is widely credited with making the first truly female suit in the modern sense. Unlike its predecessors, the Chanel suit retained a sense of glamour and femininity.
Women’s sartorial liberation continued: in the 1930's Marlene Dietrich turned international perceptions and women’s wear in general on their heads by wearing her iconic tuxedos and white double-breasted suits into infamy.
By the 60's the suit was back in full force, and it's connected to some important moments in equality: an unprecedented 40% of women had joined the workforce, there was the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and a Presidential act banning discrimination based on gender in 1967.
Doors were open for Fashion Designers like Andre Courreges and Yves Saint Laurent turning the woman's suit into elegant day and evening wear.
In the 90's, with the rise of Hollywood movies with strong female executive characters, the blazer was in the top trends of the decade. After the 2010's, with the street style phenomenon and fashion democratization in general, The Blazer became more than a trend. It became a real all-in-one piece of clothing: a stylish classic, a practical garment, but also a symbol of power (and equality).
November 4 we welcome to our collection The Black Blazer. And we are very proud of it! Stay tuned.

It's that time of the year: rentrée has hit our routine and we are, now, ready to take a rest. Maybe a large weekend? We think the time is now and we picked 3 amazing places we think is perfect to spend a few days.
As soon as you arrive to Douro 41 you feel rested. But go in, anyway: the suites are amazing and the hotel staff will make feel at home. And what a home: waking up to a panoramic Douro view is something to live for!
Feeling to spend a few days with sea view? Let's head south and meet Plaza 18, a 19th. century manor house renovated by British interior designer award-winning Nicky Dobreethat.
It will make you feel at a private house (instead of an hotel room), and you feel inspired while surrounded by art, design and history. And, of course, views to die for: mountains and North Africa on clear days or sip tea in the living room.
Waking up in Dá Licença, and the thirteen thousand olive trees that surround this amazing Boutique Hotel, it's living a dream where architecture, design and nature make the perfect fusion.
You can enjoy and check the Art Gallery available, the exclusive meals (with seasonal food only) and, of course, walk around Extremoz' hot spots (and, yes, there are a few).

Jacqueline Susann is my favorite novelist. Despite having written just a few books, her work was iconic and very successful at the time (60's and early 70's). I read Dolores way before my style admiration for Jacqueline Kennedy, and simply loved it.
It's not a biography, and please don't let it influence your opinion about the reality. It's a novel, a very good one, about "the other side" of fame and jet set.
Some vintage versions available in Amazon or second hand websites / bookshops.

Karl Lagerfeld once said: “If you ask me what I’d most like to have invented in fashion, I’d say the white shirt. Everything else comes after.”
We couldn't agree more: it's been two years since we launched GABRIELLE Shirt and it's very nice to see that so many women invested in this CAMPOS' design - our approach to this iconic piece of clothing was designing an oversized yet elegant shirt, made with many details to maintain it's fit perfectly, however you choose to wear it.
Speaking of wearing it - we selected many (many!!) images of iconic looks with the White Shirt. From iconic stylish women to memorable street style shots, not forgetting fashion editorials. Well... You'll get all the inspiration you need to wear your GABRIELLE Shirt.
