Manuela Grum

My name is Manuela Grum, I'm 18 years old, I'm Brazilian and I'm currently studying Fashion Design at PUC-Campinas, where I'm in the first year of graduation. Since then I dreamed of following the fashion area. This dream was born in adolescence, when I began to see fashion as much more than clothes, for me, it has always been a form of expression, identity and communication. Throughout my career, I lived a remarkable period in the hospital, which became a real turning point in my life. It was a delicate moment, but also of a lot of learning and reflection. There, between uncertainties and silences, I had time to look inside myself and understand more clearly who I was and what I really wanted for my future. Fashion, which was already part of me, began to have even more meaning, as a form of new beginning, strength and expression of what words often cannot say. I live in Campinas, but I'm from São Pedro, and I carry with me references that shape my creative look. Today, I am in a phase of construction, learning and discovery, seeking to develop my identity within fashion. I am driven by the desire to create, to transform and to tell stories. I believe that everything I've experienced is part of the professional I'm becoming. My journey is just beginning, but it is already full of purpose, sensitivity and meaning.
