The power of another person’s story is a unique power. It is one that, in its most powerful form, flows from one person’s experience to another in an almost physical rush. Perhaps a feeling of, if they did it, so can I. Or, a moment of clarity where, all of a sudden, a new idea appears, sprouting from the interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For women, the voice of another woman’s story of perseverance, innovation, motivation, success, and so on can be oh-so-powerful. So, in this new Love Happens series, we celebrate “The Women of…”. It is a series dedicated to the women behind the brand. The women who bring a brand to life. Women who are living, working, and raising families. Through a series of questions, we delve into the minds of these women to share their empowering and uplifting thoughts and stories. First up, The Women of Sublime Hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We first met Sublime Hotels<\/a>, a Portuguese-based hospitality brand with a beautiful coast-side resort in Comporta and a cozy urban hotel in Lisbon, while working with them on a feature for the 6th print edition of Love Happens Mag<\/a>. Our adoration for the brand was instantaneous! The 6th edition is all about Individuality & Authenticity, a theme Sublime radiates with its unique style and quiet luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White Shirt Contest<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you read through the words of each woman of Sublime in this article, you will notice they are all wearing white in their photos. A purposeful choice with its own empowering story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandra Henriques, Director of Marketing & Communication for Sublime Hotels, came up with the white shirt concept. “For me, the white shirt is a symbol of masculinity but also very versatile. Like a symbol of power in the working world,” explains Alexandra. “The idea was to reverse that power and make a feminine version that would fit and empower women of all sizes and shapes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the perfect white shirt design, Sublime partnered with the fashion program at the Lisbon-based school Magestil<\/a>. The Sublime Hotels White Shirt Contest directive was to design a white shirt for women inspired by Sublime’s first location in beautiful Comporta. The winning shirt design was created by 17-year-old Mariana Lucas Martins. And then worn by each woman for the series photo shoot by the talented Ricardo Santos<\/a> and for the hotel’s corresponding upcoming documentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My initial inspiration for this design was the definition of the white shirt by Carolina Herrera,” explains Mariana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They make me feel secure. When I don\u2019t know what to wear, I choose a white shirt.” <\/em>~Carolina Herrera<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

“Carolina Herrera was a famous fashion designer who believed that the white shirt was an essential and amazing garment for women to wear because a white shirt can be used on many occasions and adapt to several daily base realities. This is, a white shirt can be professional, formal, comfortable, relaxed, festive, and chic.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My second main source of inspiration was Sublime Comporta,” Mariana tells us. “This hotel is a little paradise. It is well connected with nature, transmits a relaxing atmosphere, and is very harmonious and inspiring. I really wanted my shirt to transmit the same vibes as this hotel, and I wanted it to adapt to different occasions, different ages, and body types.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With dreams of making the world of fashion a more eco-friendly and sustainable business, especially when it comes to textiles, talents like Mariana Martins make the future look bright!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you come up with the idea for Sublime Comporta?<\/strong> 2001 was the year I fell in love with my husband Gon\u00e7alo and with Comporta; right away, I knew I had to have a house there. In 2003, we got married, and in 2004, in the middle of having our first son, Louren\u00e7o, we bought the property. During the construction of our vacation\/ weekend house, we realized there was a lack of high-end hospitality. That\u2019s when the dream of Sublime Comporta started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When did you know that Sublime could be more than what you had envisioned?<\/strong> We opened in 2004, and a year or two later, we realized there was room to expand, so we went from a country house to a 5-star hotel. In 2016, we opened the new main building and the different villas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Are you happy with the progress of the organization\/group so far?<\/strong> I\u2019m very satisfied. We have managed to professionalize, which helped us start dreaming about the group\u2019s expansion to other destinations in Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What were the hardest moments you had to face at the beginning of Sublime Comporta?<\/strong> Gon\u00e7alo thought it would be best if I stayed in Cascais with our son and daughter, Louren\u00e7o and Madalena (they were 9 and 6 years old), because our home, schools, family, and friends were there. I decided differently. I felt we should be together as a family, so we all started living in the hotel when Sublime opened its doors. The kids went to a new school, and I left my job of almost 20 years as a flight attendant. We had only a couple of staff members, so I did everything from housekeeping, kitchen, reception, reservations, whatever was needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember one of the biggest struggles for me was driving the kids to school, which was 100 km away, returning to the hotel to work, and then driving them back home, just like a regular mother, to baths and dinner and bedtime. Then I would rush to the restaurant and sometimes attend to the guests until 2, 3 am\u2026Then there was the accommodation issue. The hotel got fully booked in that first summer, so we had to transform a shack where we kept the firewood into a suite with three beds and a tiny toilet. We lived there for a few months\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking back, was it all worth it?<\/strong> I would do it all over again without blinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you could have done something different, what would it be?<\/strong> I would have spent more money on good professionals, especially for high placements. If you think a professional costs you a lot of money, wait until you hire an amateur\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the beginning, what helped you to move forward with this project despite the struggles?<\/strong> The feedback we would always get from the guests, to feel their satisfaction and warmth toward us. We are lucky to call a lot of our clients friends. Our very first guests were this lovely couple, Alicia and Stefano, who became one of our most cherished best friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you consider your greatest achievement in Sublime?<\/strong> Besides being able to embrace a lot of new challenges like PR, my greatest achievement was this project. I was able to get to know more about these women and give them an opportunity to be recognized and shine. I love to be able to empower other women; the world is far too difficult for women in every area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project you will never forget.<\/strong> This one for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do you get up in the morning and come to work?<\/strong> Because I love what I do, I really do, and every day is different. I never get bored, not here at Sublime and not at the school where I teach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this situation were to never change, what\u2019s the one quality you need to truly enjoy it?<\/strong> Patience: sometimes, in order to get things done, I tend to be harsh. I want to improve that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s next for The Women of Sublime?<\/strong> New challenges and new career opportunities. The group is growing, and there are endless possibilities to be whatever you want inside the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it worth the effort?<\/strong> Well, this is a hard question. Most of the time, I do think it is worth it. But when I feel down or less empowered, I try to think nothing is worthless. And even the bad moments or bad days are teaching us something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
