What do you like about being Latina?
What I like about being Latina is the culture, it is a feeling of love and passion for our culture and traditions! We are very diverse, Latin America is very large, and we have many values that enrich us.
What does fashion mean to you and how would you define your style?
Fashion is a way of expressing myself, of showing who I am, and what my feelings are. I don't have a specific style, I really like to wear accessories, big earrings! But when it comes to dressing I love to wear elegant but daring outfits at the same time! One day I can have a minimalist look and the next day I can wear something super fancy.
Who is your fashion icon?
My fashion icon is Audrey Hepburn, I absolutely love her, her style, her biography, her makeup and hairstyles fascinate me! She was always distinguished.
How does your culture influence your personal style?
As a Latina, I feel identified every time I dress because I feel like a strong woman, with that spark that we have in nature, also because I am Ecuadorian, my culture identifies me a lot, we have always been elegant and empowered women.
If your life were a movie, what should the title be?
Path to success! I think it fits very well in my present and future!
What actresses or models do you think have the best style?
Well I have many actresses and models that I love their styles, but the ones that I think have the best style are Blake Lively, Olivia Culpo, Jlo, Chiara Ferragni, and Kourtney Kardashian.
