Nothing seems to make sense and everything around me screams so loudly that my body shivers in fright. We’ve poured our identity into things that don’t really belong to us, they become us, our breathing, our heart. When you lose it there’s no ground, there’s no you, there’s nothing apart from specks of broken glass. Deeply a flush whispers “who am I?”, is there a chance to return to self? To reinvent the self? To know the self? I feel like the night, black and ominous and my heart is the moon, small in the middle of all the darkness pulling through the silver lining.”

Bengala is a Creative Director and Fashion Stylist. Once held the title of Fashion Editor for one of the biggest printed magazines in his country, GQ Portugal. This experience allowed him to develop his eye for commerciality and be able to translate it in an elevated editorial way. Working as Deputy Styling Editor for London’s favourite, Brownsfashion.com made him expand his knowledge of customer profiles and luxury retail. He played a big part in the conceptualization of the e-com, setting up the tone of voice for prime imagery and styling. Alongside this, he’s been producing and styling numerous campaigns, editorials and lookbooks as a freelancer. He’s definitely a reference for the contemporary world.
