Fascinated by the “enchanted” world of fashion, where she acknowledges applying the maxim “all different, all equal,” Celeste Azevedo is currently the manager of Le Frique Concept Store in Lisbon. From publicity, to which she devoted herself previously, to fashion it was a leap and a high heel, she says, “because it always lengthens the female silhouette.” In her spare moments she commits herself to the art of cooking, “as a Michelin star Chef”, and being a sports fanatic, does not miss a daily RPM class. Living in the borough of Lapa, she is a happy woman when she can park the car “at the first attempt”. Nevertheless, she presents Lisbon with disconcerting enthusiasm: “Beautiful, wonderful, disorganized, dirty, but unique.” Celeste recommends a visit to all the boroughs because “each one reveals a different city”. But she believes the city no longer needs any kind of presentation. “Will there still be those who do not know it?”, she questions with irony.
