What is your relationship with nature?
Nature is what places me in the world and in myself, what connects me and calms me in moments of vital tides. As a child I grew up surrounded by it in the mountains and now that I live in the city, I fill my house with plants and flowers to continue to have a calm, lively and green environment.
Favourite flower?
All yellow flowers will always be welcome in my life: daisies, mimosa, ginestra... now I have dried crasspedia and limonium in my house!
If you want to make me happy, give me a plant or preserved flowers that have something yellow in them.
How do you prepare your characters?
I prepare them as we would prepare a bouquet of flowers I suppose: depending on what it is for, format, direction, script... in theatre I look more for physicality and voice, on camera on the other hand I start from myself because the characters I have had the honour of playing have been very similar to my essence. I play with the natural elements, the animals, the looks, the breathing?
Depending on the project, I investigate more on one side or the other. I hope that one day I will be able to compose a character more distant from me for a series or film!
What colours or patterns do you identify with?
Yellow, blue and tile are always in my wardrobe and in some corner of my house. I like the natural colours and the calmness they transmit to me. Although I also combine them a lot with black and white, depending on the occasion.
In my family, each one has a colour: I am yellow, my mother is green and my sister is blue. Any of these colours make me feel that we are close.
How would you define your style?
For everyday wear, I love comfort, being warm in winter, and the colours that brighten up my skin tone and bring life to my skin. I look for more and more natural fabrics and surround myself with local products (although I have to confess that I often end up in big chains), and if I wear a delicate garment I suffer a lot because I'm quite clumsy. I'm crazy about jackets and blazers and of course, don't miss out on glitter and skirts for dancing nights.
Favourite garment from our collection?
From this latest collection, I'm definitely going to go for the russet cardigan. It makes you feel fantastic, light, stylish, comfortable, and full of life, how wonderful!
What points do you find in common between your profession and fashion?
To build characters there always comes the point of looking for the costumes. Sometimes we look for it from the beginning and sometimes it's one of the last things. And that's where fashion comes in and all its importance.
A garment can describe a character 100% and it helps the actresses and actors a lot to make it more rounded and give it more nuances and more life. Who doesn't remember the wardrobe of "A Clockwork Orange" or the yellow dress of "Lalaland"? Emma Watson when she played the character of "Beauty" (in Beauty and the Beast) asked for her dress to have pockets the size of a book, because that was her character's main hobby.
In my case, in the project I'm shooting now, I've asked for very earthy, comfortable costumes and even used shirts from my character's husband to tell the story of their relationship and her toxic attachment to him. It's wonderful that the costume team listens to you and together we build something bigger and more powerful!
What would your perfect Sunday look like?
It's the beginning of summer and we start the day paddle surfing while the sun rises with some friends. We have a good breakfast together, go for a hike in a pine forest or forest by the sea, go swimming, and eat paella on the beach.
In the afternoon, after a well-deserved siesta, we sing songs on the guitar with more friends who join the group and play on the sand. Obviously we have a drink while we say goodbye to the sun and in petit comité we have dinner in the llaut of some Mallorcan friends in the moonlight. Amidst laughter and hugs we continue to live new adventures together. If only all our friends lived close enough to spend Sundays together!
