How did your life as a content creator begin?
Initially, it was a hobby because photography and traveling have always fascinated me. My grandfather was a photographer in the north of Spain, my father always loved photography too, and both my parents also passed on their love of travel to me. I started posting my lifestyle and travel photos on Instagram, where a community of people following my adventures began to grow until, eventually, my hobby turned into a job!

Why a collaboration with Nénés?
I have a strong link with French brands, in fact, I feel very close to the famous “je ne sais quoi”. I liked the idea of working with Nenés as soon as I received their proposal: it is a brand committed to the environment, which highlights the natural body of women, which advocates beautiful values and which, in addition, offers very beautiful pieces. And behind which hides a wonderful female team!

What is the mood of this capsule?
This capsule truly embodies the feeling of the Mediterranean summer: the sun, the heat, the sea, the days and evenings spent swimming, relaxing on the beach, walking or dining al fresco with friends. All the pieces have been designed so that you can be ready to enjoy the best summer has to offer! Basically, it very well represents the connection between Nénés and me but also our common love for the joys of the south.

Nénés is a committed brand, how is this capsule eco-responsible?
All pieces are made in very small quantities in Portugal from recycled European and natural organic fibers. At Nénés, everything is always produced in small quantities in order to avoid overproduction and overconsumption, which I find really great. In addition, everything is transported by truck only in order to reduce CO2 emissions! It was therefore essential for us that the collection, which pays homage to Mediterranean nature, was absolutely respectful of the environment in every way.

Your favorite piece from the capsule?
I love the one-piece swimsuit because it is so feminine and so unique. It has a vintage and modern look at the same time, in particular thanks to its wide straps and its underwire. Its slightly scooped shape is truly ultra-flattering: it lengthens the leg, shapes the chest... it creates a dream silhouette!

A good address in Spain?
Formentera is one of my favorite places to escape in the summer. My best advice is therefore to let yourself be carried away, to open up to the island and to enjoy it.
