Natalia is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but chose Mexico as her home and her field of research. During her 'Production and Patterns' degree at SENAI/Cetiqt in Rio, much of her studies focused on Mexican arts and costume to complement her research on Frida Kahlo's clothes. In 2014 she officially moved to CDMX after finishing her final project on the Tehuantepec dress. While in Mexico, Natalia has worked with fashion designers and has studied Mexican arts, history and literature. In 2022 she graduated with honors at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) with an MA in Art History presenting a project about the clothing and the creative process of Georgia O'Keeffe. The project was also nominated for the Alfonso Caso Medal. In addition to working as a guide, she is pursuing a PHD in Arts at the Fine Arts Institute (INBAL) studying both Kahlo and O’Keeffe, and is also a member of a Seminar of Studies in Mexican Fashion as an independent researcher.
