I’ve always loved painting her.

I’ve painted her on several pieces of clothing and traces of her art can be found all around my home.

A mind so often misunderstood.

She transformed her pain, fears, and anxiety into something infinite 🟠🟡

For @yayoi._.kusama creating wasn’t merely self-expression, it was survival ♾️✨

Rest in peace, Yayoi.

You may have left this physical world, but the beautiful simplicity and unmistakable authenticity of your art will live on forever ✨🔴🟣 by @notperfect.lab

Sometimes, life knocks the air out of you.
You don’t see it coming.
You don’t ask for it.
And yet—
you’re left holding the pieces.
So you pick up a brush.
You trace a lung.
You paint, not just fabric,
but the space between fear and surrender.
This jacket became my way of breathing again.
Art as oxygen.
Creation as survival.
A reminder: we can turn even the unexpected into beauty.

I want to be me.

Unapologetically me.

I don’t want anyone to dictate my life and how I suppose to live, maybe my choices and even what I say don’t “fit“ a lot of people but that’s ( one of ) the points of life, isn’t ?

To live a life in our own essence with no shame.

I ask myself,

Why I would be ashamed of who I am?
Why would anyone ? 🙅🏼‍♀️

I’m whole, perfect just as God created me and so are YOU!

We came to this life with free will, so why we think it’s ok to live a life just as everyone else ?
Following the same rules ?!

Well, I refuse!

I refuse to live like the mainstream.

I will live my life under my own conditions, doing what feels right according to what my intuition tells me.
To do what’s right even when the whole worlds think that what I do it’s wrong, even more now that I see how SICK this world is.

We need more people who dare to live like this.
We need more rebels, more creators.

Living proudly with their true colors, in their own essence, more people who dare, more people who speak up, more people who love instead of hate, more people who accept their own self, more people who help, more people who do the inner work, more people who forgive, more people who live in peace listening what’s inside, listening what God says to us every day.

Are you with me ?

Have a great mid week Fam! 🥹🙏🏻💖

Mario World - Customized Denim 🍄✨♥️ by @notperfect.lab

The most difficult thing but at the same time the most important thing in the world is to accept ourselves, REALLY love ourselves and I say REALLY because we have to do it with all our heart, even when we hurt, accepting every single corner of our precious existence.

To be grateful every day of the person who we are in this life experience.

It took me, literally, all my life to finally see it because I always knew it ( we all know the theory ) but one thing is to know it and another very different thing is to see it, understand it. That’s the first step to start the process of self acceptance.

Until we accept ourselves we can’t never be truly happy.

I always say “ it’s the key for a happy life “ because this affect eveything that we do and it can get pretty dark to live a life where we don’t like ourselves or sometimes even when we hate ourselves.

I lived my life like that. Lacking of self acceptance but today I can say proudly that I love who I am with all my colors and even more the darker ones.

I learned to forgive myself , to understand myself, to know I came to this life as I am.
That this is how God created me.

As a kid I was victim of bullying and that not only made me live in survival mode for a loooong time but that also made it harder for me to get to this point but with inner work and trust everything is possible, I might not be where I want to be in many areas of my life yet but damn I’m working on it and what’s more important: I’m doing it by being true to myself.

That’s one of the reasons why “NOT PERFECT” because is the first time I’m not interested in being perfect, is the first time in my life I’m proud to be imperfect and I want everyone to feel this way so I’ll do my best to take this message with me everywhere I go because:

I see you, I feel you, I am you, you are me 💖

We are in this together !

Once again, thank you for being here

🥹🙏🏻

I’m beautiful in my own way — because God doesn’t make mistakes.
I’m on the right track, baby. I was born this way. 🔥🎶

✨ ALWAYS BE YOURSELF.
✨ ALWAYS DREAM LOUDLY.

Not Perfect takes on Tokyo – Roppongi 🔝
Manifesting the day I’ll sell my creations in Japan 🇯🇵
Because… why the hell not?

This world wasn’t made for boxes — it was made for rebels, for artists, for the ones who color outside the lines.

If you’re here, it means we resonate.
It means you dare to be yourself.
It means you see beauty where others see “too much.”
And for that, I’m proud of you. Deeply.

Thank you for being part of this family.
You’re not just wearing clothes — you’re wearing a revolution.

Cool girls don’t follow trends — they make them.
Cool girls wear what was made with love, not by machines.
Cool girls know fast fashion is killing our planet.
So they wear wearable art.

Handmade with purpose. Designed with heart.
For the ones who care.

Happy weekend Not Perfect family 🩷🌍 by @notperfect.lab

A little recap from the Tokyo photo shoot I did for Not Perfect with future_vizion 📸✨

I’m so happy with how the photos turned out — you can see every single detail on this jacket, from the messages written on it to the glow-in-the-dark effect.

Details matter so much when you’re creating something from the heart. It’s in the little things where you can feel the love poured into the piece.

One of my favorite things about this journey is being able to wear and share what I stand for — through colors, words, and light.

Hope you love it as much as I do 🫶🏻
Have a beautiful weekend, Not Perfect fam 💖 by @notperfect.lab

Walking art in Florence 🪩

When streetwear meets sacred architecture.
Because Not Perfect doesn’t follow rules — it writes its own story, wherever it goes.

These pants were handmade with love, one of one, wearable art made to travel the world.

I still remember the feeling of standing in front of the Duomo wearing something I painted myself… surreal.

⚡ Not Perfect is a statement. A movement. A rebellion against perfection.
