About

Monarca Collection brings a restless mind in activity, although sometimes silent.

As the Monarca Butterfly is the result of a transformation, of the metamorphosis, our today’s self is the result of the path we travelled on our past. And, our future, is the consequence of the choices and actions that we take today.

Sometimes we must enclose ourselves, comprehend ourselves, so we can then launch ourselves in this world, bringing our voices, showing our values, searching for our purpose of life.

We must use our sorrows, losses, disappointments, our feelings of emptiness, to construct and transmute ourselves in our better versions.

I wish my project can go as far as the Monarcas flight. But not as in the distance they can make, but as for which purpose they make it. The idea of survival, continuation of their species, this is what rocks their wings, and not the distance they must make. This is the message I want to bring through my work. More purpose, more belonging, and more care with what we have today, so we can have a better future.

Humanity always evolved through revolutions. We are facing another one now. Although, this is different from the other ones. This is a mind revolution. Our own evolution depends of a revolution on our life styles. Our future is at risk. And we must choose now.

About Marlova

I am a person in love with the nature and the energy that it transmit to us.

Is very hard to talk about ourselves, but I will use words from people that know me and are familiar with me, and how they define me. People say I am creative, authentic, truthful, sometimes too sincere, a good character, in love with the nature and the animals, good hearted, emotive and sensitive. And that I believe too much on people. It is not always easy to believe in people, but I like to believe in mankind or part of it, that together we can transform our world and our society. And through this project, I really want to find people that still believe on that. I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t believe this is possible. And as the Brazilian singer Raul Seixas says, “I would rather be this wandering metamorphosis instead of having that old opinion formed about everything”.

My name is quite peculiar, Marlova Mariele Martin, and now I bring another M with me, from Monarca. This is the project I present you. I am Brazilian, journalist, and was used to work for many years with politics advising in my country. Maybe because I believe and know that this is an area where we can make the difference for the society, but unfortunately people alone cannot move mountains. We must be into this together, as a society. As the dreamer I am, I still believe that through words, knowledge, and specially through actions, we can make a whole difference on this world.

And what fashion and décor have to do with that?

Always heard from friends that I should work with one or the other. So, I decided to bring both together, and I hope that I can bring that to you too. And together, change the world and the way we think about the things we consume.
