Pamela Mota e Cunha was Born in Umtali, Zimbabwe, studied at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada and then pursued a fashion and design career in Paris--where she worked at Ralph Lauren and studied at Parson's School of Art and Design along with her experience as Ambassadress representing the Embassy of Bolivia in Washington, D.C have contributed to the evolution of her personal style. She has taken inspiration from the many extraordinary places she has visited -- from the magnificence of the Chateau of Versailles, a zen styled house built on stilts at the prestigious Pankaur Laut Resort in Malaysia, the traditional plantation houses of the Southern United Sates, the charming blue and white fishing village of Comporta, Portugal or the Spanish Colonial Missions in the Amazon Region of Bolivia. I have discovered colors, countries, cultures and peoples from tribal villages in Mozambique to chateaus and villas in Europe that have been fascinating and inspirational to my taste.
