Yesterday, I stepped onto the runway in Paris for the very first time — not just as a jewelry designer, but as a creative who poured her heart into building Terra e Mare and the gowns that carried this story forward.

Never in my life did I imagine this moment. To see my vision walk the runway, to be introduced as the designer… it feels surreal. This milestone is not just about jewelry — it’s about the journey, the risks, the late nights, the tears, and the faith that carried me here.

I’m so proud of what I’ve built up to this point, and grateful beyond words for everyone who has guided me, supported me, and believed in this dream. Yesterday, I lived a moment I will carry forever. ❤️

Today, a dream comes to life. After months of dreaming, creating, and pouring every part of myself into this vision—the day is finally here.

This journey has been anything but easy. It has been filled with sacrifice, doubt, late nights, risks, and lessons that tested my strength. But it has also been filled with hope, faith, and an unshakable belief that beauty is born from persistence.

I look at this collection and see not just jewelry, but pieces of my heart, my story, and years of courage to keep going when it felt impossible. To be standing here, finally sharing this with the world, feels surreal and overwhelming in the most beautiful way.

To my incredible team—thank you for every detail, every effort, and every ounce of dedication you’ve poured into this vision. I am so proud of what we’ve built together. Thank you for walking this path with me, and for giving so much of yourselves to make it real. ❤️

And to my husband—my partner, my best friend, my steady anchor—thank you for being by my side through every high and low, for your unwavering love, and for reminding me that no matter the outcome, we are in this together. You have carried me through every storm and celebrated every sunrise. This launch is as much yours as it is mine. 😘🥺

Here’s to courage, to beauty, and to the magic of seeing a dream take flight.

The morning of the show.

I was up at 5 AM, running on excitement, nerves, and probably a hundred thoughts in my head.

But Paris gave us the most beautiful sunrise that morning, and for a little while, I got to enjoy the city before everything got busy.

A little walk, some fresh air, coffee (of course!), and then straight to the venue for last-minute preparations.

I kept looking at the collection hanging backstage, thinking about how just a few months ago, these were all ideas in my head. And now here we were, getting ready to send them down the runway.

I was nervous, excited, and honestly just so grateful to be experiencing all of this for the second time.

What a morning. What a day. 🤍

There are moments that remind us why we create.

Seeing House of Tides come to life on the runway in Paris with Flying Solo was one of them.

What started as an idea to bring jewelry beyond adornment became something we could see, feel, and experience. Pearls and gemstones were embedded into the garments, becoming part of the movement and turning each piece into wearable art.

Inspired by the changing nature of the sea, House of Tides moves from stillness to pull, from rising currents to crashing waves—expressed through natural stones, pearls, organic textures, and sculptural forms.

We’re so grateful to everyone who helped bring this vision to life. From our artisan @j0hnnybravo0o to our small team in Paris, to @flyingsolonyc and everyone who believed in the collection along the way—thank you for being part of the tide. 🤍

I don't think anything could have prepared me for the emotions I felt that day. 🥹

The final fittings, the last-minute adjustments, the constant checking and rechecking of every detail. I had spent months imagining how House of Tides would look on the runway, and suddenly, we were just hours away from the show.

I was nervous. Very nervous.

But this time was different.

For my second Paris Fashion Week, I wanted to challenge myself and do something I hadn't done before. Instead of creating jewelry to complement the outfits, I decided to incorporate pearls and gemstones directly into the garments themselves.

I wanted the jewelry to become part of the clothing. Not just something you put on as an accessory, but something that shapes the design, moves with the body, and becomes part of the entire look.

And believe me, that came with its own set of challenges.

By the time we reached the final fittings in Paris, I had a hundred things running through my head. Would everything fit? Would the pieces hold their shape? Would the collection look the way I had envisioned it?

And then it was time.

One by one, the models walked out wearing House of Tides. Seeing the pearls and gemstones become part of those silhouettes, rather than simply being worn as jewelry, was something I had been waiting months to experience.

Not everything went according to plan. There were disappointments and things I wish had turned out differently. But when I heard the applause toward the end of the show, I felt so much happiness and relief. I can't even begin to describe it.

And when it was finally my turn to walk out, I was smiling from ear to ear. That smile was real. Every bit of it.

I was proud. Not because everything was perfect, but because we actually did it.

And yes, I'd do it all over again. 🤍

Before the lights come on, there’s a little chaos.

People moving, pieces being adjusted, last-minute checks, clothes being fixed, and everyone making sure everything is exactly where it needs to be.

Somewhere between the rushing and the waiting, there’s a quiet excitement—you realize the moment you’ve been preparing for is finally here.

Just moments before House of Tides meets the runway in Paris.

There’s something about seeing your pieces just moments before they leave your hands and become part of someone else’s story.

Before the runway, before the cameras, before anyone sees the full look, there’s this quiet part.

Checking the details. Seeing how each piece sits. Watching everything slowly come together.

And honestly, these are the moments I find myself remembering most.

Because when you see the final runway image, you only see the finished look. You don’t see the little decisions, the nerves, the last-minute details, or all the people behind it.

So I wanted to keep this moment here.

The day before the runway, every detail matters.

Each garment is tried on, adjusted, and carefully considered-making sure every piece sits exactly where it should, every detail feels right, and the collection comes together as intended.

For House of Tides, this is the final quiet moment before everything moves.

One last fitting. One last look.
Then, the tide meets the runway.

Designer’s Meeting Day in Paris.

Being in a room with so many designers from different places, each working on something completely their own, was probably my favorite part of the day.

I spent a lot of time just listening, talking to people and hearing a little about what everyone was bringing to the runway. And I realized that one of the nicest parts of doing this is meeting people who understand how much actually happens before anything ever makes it onto that runway.

I never planned on becoming a designer. This whole chapter of my life wasn’t really part of the plan. And yet, here I am for another round of Paris Fashion Week.

Funny where life takes you.

See you on the runway, PFW SS27. 🤍 taken in Paris, France by @curatedbydev
