Stella del Carmen Banderas, the modeling debut of her daughter of art

Considering her confidentiality, it is almost strange to see her so casual in front of a camera lens. But yet, Stella del Carmen Banderas seems to be perfectly at home in what is his official debut as model for a semi-unknown Mexican sustainable fashion brand. Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith’s daughter posed in Los Angeles without makeup or filters for photographer Joaquín Castillo, wearing different 101%, a brand based in Mexico City that makes clothes on demand using a antibacterial technology and Econyl fabric.

His is a clear message, on a way of understanding fashion and the world more generally, which silently echoes the slogans with which many of his peers take sides in defense of the planet: There is no planet B. At the age of 25, she chooses for her debut as a model a brand that recovers nylon waste from all over the world, such as fishing nets, fabric scraps, used carpets, industrial plastic, regenerates them until they return to their initial qualities and then re-uses them within the production cycle, giving them new life.

Whether it’s just a parenthesis or the beginning of one career in fashion, we cannot know. What is certain is that Stella is experimenting with different fields to find her way. He had initially chosen to study History of Art but soon succumbed to the family geniuses. «My daughter Stella is studying Dramatic art», Banderas had revealed some time ago,« He surprised us all because he never wanted to stand in front of the cameras and then suddenly he made the leap ».

In the meantime, the world of fashion and beauty seems to fascinate her: another sign is her project – still “coming soon” on Instagram – from the name Lightbound, which produces “handcrafted creations for the soul, body and earth”. The first of these is The soul, fragrance that contains memories and aromas of the Holy Week in Malaga, where the father lives, particularly famous in Spain. He seems to have worked on it for the past two years, with the aim of creating a handmade perfume. And guess what? Sustainable. We’ll see what his next step is.
