EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH JESSICA GERSTEN
Having worked in the fashion industry for several years, Jessica Gersten grew an awareness for colours, fabrics and proportion. In 2008, Gersten founded her own interior design company and through a modern eclectic style, she manages to masterfully combine the use of neutral base colours, organic shapes as well as ethnic patterns and textures while adding layers of mid-century lighting, bold sculptures and modern furniture designs. She collaborates closely with her clients in order to guarantee that each room evokes an emotion and represents their lifestyle needs. And these are just some of the reasons why her style projects a sense of distinctiveness and versatility. CovetED Magazine: Being in love with our work is always the
key to achieving better results. Are you in love with this job? What do you love most about being an interior designer? GERSTEN: I absolutely LOVE this job. It was a ground-up con-
struction and a huge 100000 square feet. Each room is so special and so well thought out. I love being a designer because I get into the minds of my clients and try to bring joy and comfort into the home. CM: Do you have a favourite project or story about one of your
projects? GERSTEN: Tenafly is hands down my favorite. It’s my largest
and most passion-filled. CM: How important is a perfect chemistry between you and
your clients to achieve the best results? GERSTEN: Chemistry is everything. It’s like dating! If we have
a great rapport and similar minds the results are outstanding. CM: Do you think working with teams in interior design is bet-
ter or worse than working alone? GERSTEN: Working in a team is better. You bounce ideas off of
each other and everybody has something interesting to add to the project. CM: Keep up to date on all the trends is essential for anyone who
wants to conquer this market. In what ways do you keep current with new trends? GERSTEN: Instagram is a major source for trends and staying
current. CM: How would you describe your work style? Do you have any
kind of “signatures” that help to identify your projects? GERSTEN: I always have something with an organic feeling in
all my projects. Free-form, organic shapes and textures are my favorite. Whether a project is earthy or glamorous, I always have organic shapes included.

day? Did your family help to foster this creativity or was it innate? GERSTEN: I was always into fashion and style. Whatever trend
was happening, I was on it. CM: How would you describe your personal decorating style? GERSTEN: It changes. But electric modern is always a constant. CM: What has been your greatest accomplishment as a designer?
What goals do you have for the future? GERSTEN: Building this business from one client to a sustain-
able business with hopes to expand into other avenues of income.

FASHION WEEKS
PORTUGAL FASHION The fashion weeks show us the collections for the next season, the next trends, and have a fundamental priority to communicate and transmit the new trends of the creators, where the new collections are presented and displayed.
FASHION //
The international focus of Portugal Fashion is one of the main lines behind the project and undoubtedly one of the most importants. It’s all about the promotion of the national image, design and trends, affirming itself as a reference of creativity and aesthetic sophistication from Portugal to the exterior. In addition to the internationalization, one of the focus is to communicate the young creators as another of the strategic pillars of Portugal Fashion. By complementing the main, Bloom undercovers the creations on the young designers.
COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 135.
With the Invicta shows, Portugal Fashion finishes presenting the Spring / Summer collections that went through London, New York, Paris, Milan, and Lisbon. The four days of the 42Âş edition achieved thirty-three fashion shows, with proposals from seventeen designers, eight young designers, twelve students from six fashion schools, five clothing brands and six footwear brands. The trends for the hot season were revealed by Diogo Miranda, Miguel Vieira, Nuno Baltazar, Susana Bettencourt, Dielmar, Lion of Porches, LuĂs Buchinho, Micaela Oliveira, Hugo Costa, Julio Torcato, Luis Onofre, Ana Sousa, among others.
FASHION //
Exuberance, sophistication, sensuality and exaggerated proportions, the blend of classic tailoring with the technique of competitive performance materials, oversized sleeves, ruffles, bulky ties and necklines that leave the shoulders exposed are the big bets of the creators for the next season. Pastel pink, curry, orange, pink fuchsia, gray, black caviar, red, raw blue, white, materialize the season trends, assuming the role of a sophisticated, confident, sexy and feminine woman.
