What trends are big in your city?

New York is the city of fashion. Everyone loves black, jeans and black boots with a shirt is perfect for being trendy in this beautiful city. In Puerto Rico we have beautiful beaches, so the perfect trend is something more tropical and chic.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?

I think what people would be surprised to know about me is that I am very simple, people who do not know me would love me, I am a very authentic, humble and loving girl ... Sometimes social media makes other people have a wrong reflection of you. Sometimes we judge because of what we see in social media, but often the people we judge are the people with more feelings, humility, and charisma than many others. I am very simple, people who do not know me would love me, I am a very authentic, humble and loving girl.

What are your favorite colors and outfits that make up most of your closet?

If you see my closet, everything is black. So definitely my favorite color is black.

Latinas have that "chispa" that no other person has... We have that "swing" on our hips that makes us feel sexy. Latinas are very nice, we make friends fairly easy. Studies show that Latinos are the friendliest people in the world. Latinos are hard working people, entrepreneurs and we fight for what we want. That is one of the things that I admire most, the desire to work, and offer the best to your family. We take the risk, we leave our countries, to go and search for a better life in another country, many times we do not even know the language, and that makes us strong, determined, confident and independent. Of course Latin food is the best in world!

What is your favorite brand/designer? What do you like about that brand?

Michael Costello because it's sexy, chic, confident and elegant. Versace because it's sexy and awesome. Chanel because it is classic and elegant. I love Dolce&Gabbana, it's chic, sexual, exotic and sophisticated. All in one.

Which actresses or models do you believe have the best style?

Joan Smalls
Kendall Jenner
Rocky Barnes
Emrata
Elsa Hosk

Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what are your goals?

This year I have a great project and it's one of my big dreams. I am preparing myself to compete in Miss Puerto Rico Universe, if God allows it and I can win, then I will go for everything and with all my energy bring the 6th Crown to Puerto Rico which since 2006 we have not been able to bring it back. I am very sure of myself, and of the plan that God has for me. In 5 years I will definitely have my own agency to scout Latin models and send them to the American market, just as how I achieved my dream of being signed by international agencies, I would be happy to help other Latina girls achieve that dream...

Featured Fashionista: Claudia Camargo

What do you like about being Latina?

Too many things to count but the main thing is that we are built as fearless women. We are not afraid to speak up and have drive to be leaders.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?

That I am the only Latina at my job!

What are your favorite colors that make up most of your closet?

Currently into a lot of nudes, grays, creams and dusty pink.

What trends are big in your city?

Minneapolis is a very Scandinavian city and you can definitely see the influence in the design around the city, the architecture and of course the clothing. And I am totally into it because it is so minimalistic and clean.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I just started the Minneapolis Blogger Union and it has been such a great thing in the Twin Cities, so I want to keep nourishing it. I’m the kind of woman that wants it all, so I see myself with a baby, running my businesses (blog and blogger union) and excelling at my full time job at Target. .

What is your favorite brand/designer? What do you like about that brand?

I love Target, not only because I work there but I truly love what the brands stands for and the affordable price point.

What do you like about being Latino?

I love that Latina’s are known as the epitome of sexy & fierce. While I believe that each woman poses something special of their own, Latinas are immediately connected to overcoming any obstacles & their strength. In a nutshell, being Latina is the luchadora (warrior) cutthroat attitude but we also nurture like no other.
Latinas are the perfect blend of everything & that reflects a lot in our different cultures within Latin America. I am Mexican but even within Mexico we have different takes on our culture, there is so much to be appreciated within the Latino culture.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?

Something about me that people will be very surprised to know about me is that I was a huge tomboy growing up. I grew up with my brother who is 3 years older than me so I would always ruin my clothes playing with the boys & mix my Barbie dolls with his action figures.

What are your favorite colors and outfits that make up most of your closet?

My favorite color to wear is red but if you take a look into my closet you’ll see a lot of Olive & a lot of Black. People think black is easy to work with but I think its elegant & sexy. When in doubt, turn some heads in black.

What is your favorite brand/designer? What do you like about that brand?

I don’t think I have a favorite brand. I will seriously wear anything from anyone because I like it & its affordable. Dream designer to wear would have to be Carolina Herrera because she dressed Jackie Kennedy & Michelle Obama.

Which actresses or models do you believe have the best style?

I love the way Zendaya dresses. You can really see her creativity & personality though her style & the woman can make anything look good.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years and what are your goals?

In 5 years I see my self (above all) to be happy. I am a broadcast journalist so I see myself working to the top of my field & interviewing. I also see myself taking over my family business 100% so my mother can retire & maybe finally allowing marriage & kids in my life lol.

HERMOSAZ Featured Model: Antonella Nakfour

What do you like about being Latina?

What I love about being Latina, is that we have sabor. Although, I have mixed cultures because my dad is Lebanese being Latina is what makes us stand out, being Latina makes us I think a little bit more passionate about everything we love. It’s always in me and it’s what gives me an edge.

What are your favorite colors?

My favorite color is yellow, nice and bright, although I don’t really wear it.

What are your favorite brand of clothes?

My favorite brand is Zara, a Spanish brand. I’m in love with everything they sell. My mother owns a clothing store so that would be my second favorite.

What's your favorite style?

My style varies depending on my mood and the day. One thing is consistent, I love to dress to impress. I think the way we look says a lot about who we are so I like to look my best always (at least I try to!) I think my style is a combination of classic with a trendy/dramatic look.

What are the items you always carry in your purse?

The five items always in my purse are hand lotion, lip balm (I can’t stand dry lips), mints, iPhone (because I need to take pictures!) and sunglasses.

Which actor/actress or model has the best style according to your taste?

Mmmm, this is a tough question. I tend to create my own style based on what I like, what’s trending and what accentuates my features. I don’t really have a specific someone to name. Yes, there’s a few actress and models I enjoy how they dress but they don’t really define my style.

Who was your role model growing up and how does that influence who you are today?

My role model growing up was my mom, she still is! I have learned from her sacrifices and experiences. She has taught me to be the woman I am today and I am proud of how she raised my brothers and I. She is also my go-to fashion consultant. I have learned my great taste in style from her.

What is your favorite Latino Dish?

Although, I’m not Peruvian my favorite Latino Dish is ceviche. It’s so yummy; I could eat it for days.

What is your favorite thing to do?

My most favorite thing to do is read, travel, travel, travel and do runway modeling. Did I mention I love to travel?
