Tired of people not paying for his mother’s designs, Thiago Pantaleão decided to put on a handmade bikini and show it off on his social media.

We know that parents are there to support their children’s dreams, guide them, and advise them so they can achieve whatever they set out to do. However, children are also there to support their parents when they need a boost to pursue their own dreams.

That is how Thiago Pantaleão, a Brazilian singer, did it with his mother, a woman who loves sewing and design, who went on to work in something else after her work was not valued. The young man decided to wear his mom’s designs and make them known to the world.

Bianca Caitano, Thiago’s mother, worked her whole life cleaning, since her design jobs were not profitable enough to support her family, so she had to set her dreams aside. But as we know, it is never too late to pursue what we want so much, especially when it is your child who supports you.

Thiago, who has 380 thousand followers on Instagram, took one of the handmade bikinis his mother makes and posed on his social media wearing the design, regardless of the criticism or what people might say about a completely “feminine” design.

“I saw her working herself to the bone cleaning, and it was making me anxious. Then I saw her knitting a Felino model and I thought it was amazing. A bikini from the brand costs R$ 400,00, but here no one wanted to pay R$ 40,00. So I said, you know what? I’m going to promote your work, I’ll wear it, I’ll post it, and it has gone viral “, the son says proudly.

After the post, which went viral on the page Razões para Acreditar, Thiago says that many people began placing orders with Bianca, including artists and people from outside the country. So much so that her work reached the ears of Vogue, who offered her the job Bianca had waited for so long.

The invitation to the Vogue ball was the icing on the cake of this story. Bianca spent several nights creating a true work of art that her son wore: “She gave it her all to deliver it. I already wanted to go to this event, people would stop to ask and praise it and I would say, I liked it / it was my mother who made it”, Thiago said.

For her part, Bianca feels proud that it is her son who wears her designs, beyond the professional success she is having: “” It is an honor because my son wore and represented this piece, so I am very satisfied. I am very happy “, Bianca said.

An example of support between mother and son.
