English

Burying your head under the covers until spring comes?

Not quite.

While hibernation is a means of energy conservation, yes, we’ll be off to enjoy the beginning of winter only for a few weeks. Hibernation is not only for animals to go to sleep for weeks at a time, but like them, we humans do too like to find a safe place to get cosy for the winter.

Time to pause.

See you all here next year in January!

Spanish

¿A esconder la cabeza bajo las sábanas hasta que llegue la primavera?

No exactamente.

Aunque la hibernación es una forma de conservar energía, sí, nos vamos a disfrutar del comienzo del invierno solo durante unas semanas. La hibernación no es solo para que los animales duerman durante semanas, sino que, al igual que ellos, a los humanos también nos gusta encontrar un lugar seguro donde estar cómodos durante el invierno.

Es hora de hacer una pausa.

¡Nos vemos aquí el año que viene en enero!

Dutch

Je hoofd onder de dekens begraven tot de lente komt?

Niet helemaal.

Hoewel winterslaap een manier is om energie te besparen, gaan we slechts een paar weken genieten van het begin van de winter. Winterslaap is niet alleen voor dieren om wekenlang te slapen, maar net als zij zoeken ook wij mensen graag een veilige plek om ons comfortabel te nestelen voor de winter.

Tijd om even te pauzeren.

Tot volgend jaar januari!

​Culture, people, fashion and places where the traditional meets the modern. Viviana takes a great deal of inspiration from her life abroad and travels – in Mexico, to North Africa or Norway, for instance.
​

Viviana is a former educator with a masters degree in screenwriting, but her storytelling doesn’t stop with her audiovisual productions on culture, art and design. She has developed her own visual language by combining her bilingual writing and a playful drawing style in her pastel and watercolour sketches. This versatility is what clients love about her. Viviana’s style is feminine in tone and content.

Based in the Netherlands, Viviana’s sketches and lifestyle stories are dropping in 2026.

Sand dunes that inspire our creative process. Learning the wisdom from the nature, plants and flowers that survive the strength of the coastal wind, salt, and sand.

WE AT MODEFABRIEK

WE AT MODEFABRIEK 2025

In 2025, we, at Viviana M. C. De La Barca mark five years in the movement and collective advocacy of textile reuse and recycling.

To celebrate this milestone and continue raising awareness, on 6 & 7 July we visit ModeFabriek 2025 — Amsterdam’s fashion trade event happening every year in the Netherlands. For this year’s edition, fashion labels mash up in an impressive dynamic new location spreading out across multiple buildings in the town of Zaandam.

Our Besties

We LOVE seeing more conscious and pre-loved vintage resellers with stunning garments from mid-priced brands to high-end designers, vintage treasures, and collector's items.

We were thrilled with MODEFABRIEK X RESHARE space:
​a niche giving surplus stock a second life and a spot to reshare textile reuse.

The RESPONSIBLE ROUTE is another highlight:
​a guide along brands that take responsibility and commit to reducing negative impact.

Watch our clip featuring young talent in the SPOTLIGHT
​featuring Alegra Collective, Where’Els and Freja Studio.
