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 2021 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. Alongside being an expert guide, she currently works with Alejandra de Coss, a Mexican fashion designer.
