Formerly a printmaker at Zara, Natacha Duarte is now working in Lisbon as a freelance print/pattern designer for fashion brands and home accessories with a list of clients that includes Reebok, Mango, ASOS, Sisley, River Island and Ananda Pascual. Duarte’s recent collaboration with CeliaB, a colorful, fun and quirky Spanish fashion house, showcases an exciting take on what the printmaker saw during a visit to the Lisbon Botanical Gardens. “These gardens have all sort of exotic plants brought from old Portuguese colonies in India, Africa and Brazil,” explained Duarte. “The pattern was designed by hand using color felt-tip pens to give it a more naif look.”
