I met Sara Tamà 8 years ago when we were in the same class studying how to translate from Dutch to Italian, French and the other way around. During the years we saw each other quite often, not always planned but every single time it was nice to cross paths. The ‘girls in town’ project was a perfect moment to organise a next gathering.

Sara, now 27, divides her time in being a freelance translator and working at Lila Grace, a cosy womenswear shop in Antwerp. You can already imagine her wardrobe is filled with lots of treasures she found over there, call it professional deformation. Other stores she likes to visit during her time off are Sandro (Hopland), Houben (Maria-Theresialei), Fresh 34 (Volksstraat), APC (Lombardenvest), RA13 (Kloosterstraat) and second-hand heaven Rosier 41 (Rosier). Clothing wise she doesn’t make a secret of the fact that she likes it basic. No wonder Céline, Acne and Lanvin are her all time favourite collections.

 

 

Because of her half Belgian, half Italian origins she has a special connection with the other homeland. Specifically it’s Taormina, a small city at the beautiful Sicilian coast and birthplace of her father, that stole her heart. Next to this sunny southern village Sara also has a slight preference for Barcelona, Paris and of course New York.

One of her resolutions for 2013 is to reinvent goals in life. The timing is right to move on,  find some new and interesting opportunities. During this quest you can always find Sara at her favourite spots in Antwerp such as Café Matic (Vleminckveld), Barnini (Theaterplein), RA13 (Kloosterstraat), Vitrin (Marnixplaats) or A Propos (Schermersstraat). With the simple reason it’s much more productive to start your search somewhere cosy.

 

 

To Sara: thanks a lot for the nice lunch, the even nicer talk & of course your participation! See you soon…
