"Lidianne Andrade owns an expressive and unpretentiously sophisticated fashion. Ahead of Ostra Brasil, which she created for over 10 years, she has been gaining attention in the national and international market. The reason? The brand, originally from the Cerrado, more precisely from Anapolis , in Goias, is capable of to traditional beachwear brands from Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. She achieves this by making the woman who wears its pieces feel comfortable and, above all, recognizes herself when wearing a bikini or bathing suit. Not everyone wants or likes to show too much, but that doesn't mean they want to wear a boring piece - Ostra does just that, while still being chic, modern and up-to-date. It has rigor in modeling and comfort (we appreciate it!). It represents a free and self-confident woman."
"Feeling comfortable in your own skin and in your own space is a mantra that Lidianne takes to work and to life. In the house she bought two years ago, she made adjustments to make everything look her own - contemporary with organic traits. "One familiar place, where I recognize myself", she summarizes, adding that simplicity is her middle name
"My house is very practical, up-to-date. It has a lot of color and a rustic scent that refers to nature" - the same nature that he evokes when creating Ostra's pieces. "It's all very connected: I'm into textures, shapes, materials like straw, stones and wood, and I make up a point of natural light".
"The taste for fashion and art manifested itself early, around the age of 12, when she drew her first sketches, among her mother's sewing machines, oil paint canvases, colorful fabrics and handicrafts also produced by her mother, a born artist, as Lidianne remembers."
"The colorful canvases that decorate her house were painted by Lidianne herself. As soon as she fell in love with design, fashion was just a consequence of that movement. Today the stylist is one hundred percent involved with Ostra: she signs the design of the pieces stamping, which ties together each of the collections, going through sustainable production processes: the brand works with fabrics with international ecological certificates and with scraps that have been used to promote social activities in Brazil and Africa. This same sustainable footprint can be seen in the details of the house, in objects with minimalist and very handmade organic traits.
"I don't dress with accumulations, but I like artistic information. I'm not basic!". She always likes to innovate. Your favorite corner at home? "I don't have a specific one. I go where the sun is" - and for Lidianne, it always shows up, whether on Ostra beach or on rustic mornings in the Cerrado.
