OUT – Outdoor atelier of Clothes for Mental Health

Project title

OUT on Horse

Description of initiative

For many years Valeria have been helping her mental health through the creation of “therapeutic clothing”. In the spring of 2022, she left her "serious" business in Eastern Europe and moved to Portugal to realize her dream of creating therapeutic clothing. Now she is learning to allow herself to be a creative person, creating her own small creative business and telling other people about her path.
OUT – Outdoor atelier of Clothes for Mental Health is the project proposed by Valeria in which she creates clothes for other in order to support them to express their feelings and to overcome the negative feelings. The clothes are handcrafted and created in a unique atmosphere: near the ocean, in the mountains, in the forest, on the street, usually OUTdoor places that can make the clothes more inspiring for the people.
