Chapter I
Fashion Mother’s Day
Natalia López & Co
Two young children, a still very busy modelling career, her successful firm “Vajillas de Ultramar” and a highly popular personal Instagram account with more and more followers every day forces Natalia López to keep up a non-stop schedule. A super, top model, she talks to us today about her favorite “job”: that of being a mother.
The day your child is born is brutal. The intensity of the pain, the joy and the fear are comparable to few experiences in life” That is how Natalia López starts the conversation, in the company of her two children: Pedro, seven years old, and Matilde, six. “What I most value in our relationship is sincerity and that is what I try to convey to them, together with my unconditional support,” confesses the model . “A perfect day for me is when we wake up, we make pancakes and have breakfast together. Then we go to visit some place in the city, eat in a Mexican restaurant, hang out in the park and then go back home to watch a movie”, says Natalia . “For Mother’s Day, they usually give me a picture and write a letter filled with love.”

Summer musts

Fashion Mother’s Day
Blanca Unzueta & Julia
This highly respected, veteran fashion stylist shares today her prized wardrobe with her daughter Julia, an attractive adolescent, who is just eighteen years old. They form a perfect tandem, closely bonded, not only through their mutual love, sense of humor and complicity, but by their common passion for fashion. Discover their fashion secrets.
FaceTime brings together now this mother and daughter who are currently living apart. “Julia studies Politics and International Studies in England, but we speak so often on the phone that it seems like she has never left”, says Unzueta. “Ever since she was born, I have always felt extremely close to her in an extraordinary way, which I cannot explain”, says Blanca. “We are very much alike, we both love art and travelling and, of course, fashion is another of our shared passions,” says our stylist. “I like to share almost everything with her. Our perfect plan would be to go to an art show or wander through a flea market in search of some special ‘treasure’ and then go to eat at an Italian restaurant”, confesses Unzueta. “We do not usually celebrate Mother’s Day, but I think the tailored suit I am wearing in our photo session would be a fantastic gift”. This comes directly from an expert.
“Top Mother” Style
“I am totally loyal to ‘jeans’ and running shoes and, in general, I favor a slightly masculine look. Although every once and a while, I switch to a very ultra-feminine dress that I have probably picked up in a street market”.
Summer musts
“This season, I have already chosen: blue corduroy pants, a Madras-checked shirt, a top with an Indian design and flat minimalist sandals”
Flechazos
“I am in love with the white linen men’s suit I am wearing in the photos. It has perfect lines. I am also a big fan of the “See Now Buy Now” collections.
About Verino
“Roberto Verino is one of the most important and consolidated companies in Spain. I can still recall his 1990s campaigns featuring the top models at the time: Christy Turlington and Helena Christensen, photographed by Mikael Jansson. They were on an equal standing with the leading international firms”.
