Where are you from, and how does that influence your style?
I was born and raised in Argentina. I definitely feel there has been an influence on my style from time spent in Buenos Aires - the city culture feels like a true mix of that in New York and Paris with one-of-a-kind styles and constantly evolving trends. After moving to NYC and spending time at 5th Avenue fashion house, Burberry, my style shifted with a new appreciation for detail in luxury design.
If you could trade closets with anyone in the world, who would it be?
Nicole Warne of fashion and lifestyle blog Gary Pepper. Her style is mix of trendy, classy, and eclectic with one-of-a-kind combinations that I love!
Where do you usually look to for sartorial inspiration?
Walking the streets of NYC every day, I don't have to look very far for inspiration. Every corner brings another amazing piece of street art, a mural, a corporate professional with a fashionable flair, and street style that's truly original. I keep my eyes open and try to take in as much as I can.
What's your favorite era for fashion?
The 90's. I felt like couture pushed boundaries and I loved the mix of sexy and grunge from the streets to the runways.
Do you have a style philosophy?
Fashion isn't about trends; it's about developing your personal style and wearing what's right for your body. When you listen to what works for you, you don't only look good but feel great too. The issue is that most of us are so busy we don't have to time to scour for products to fit our unique preferences. That's how ModaBox was born – I truly believe every woman deserves to look good, feel great, and still have the time to take care of everything else.
