A couple of years the image of Vesta Lugg (21) filled events and social networks thanks to its style and influence on fashion. The funny thing is that the actress who met in "Bkn" when he was 10, insists almost as a declaration of principles-not identify with the term fashionista because "it is a hat that is too big for me. I have always done and I followed my own rules, and what I wear is a reflection of my personality. it has no end, I just saw what I want to put me. I think the fashionista is someone who is dedicated to creating trends, to inculcate new concepts, and that's not my role. my thing is to show my generation, young girls, who do not have to follow a pattern to be happy about our style. "

The day of this interview and photos buccaneers came with black leather and a fringed kimono of the same color, design author bought in Argentina, a country where he acquired a good deal of his clothes. This outfit is one of 4 that define it as account later. And his figure does not go unnoticed; who circulated stopped to look at it, they watch curiously.

This year for the third time integrates the panel "Damn Moda" (CHV), an experience that weighed when deciding to stay in Chile, his family moved to Canada. His bond with them transcends distance and emotional bond. Together with his father, Charles Fournier, he maintains a company doing from social media campaigns to sell content to television or the Internet, and where she exercises also work producing.

Why do you think so many young people follow you and sums a third season in "Damn Fashion"?

It is rare for me. I've always been grateful affection. "Damn Fashion" has become my family and I am the only young person who fits into that audience. I think if I keep is why, and also for the respect with which to think. I never disqualify anyone with negative adjectives. I never wanted to offend by clothing. I seek only give my opinion. My message is "Get what you want if you feel comfortable." I know it's a bit contradictory worse if I choose to dress(cheap formal dresses), but also feel that people have to understand that what we say in the program is a more independent view that is public. We are panelists and do a job, and tomorrow we will not agree on the time we evaluated, is not the essence of the program is part of. Television is not personal.

But many celebrities have been well "senses" after criticism, and there was even an important resistance to give interviews.

Yes. And I also criticized me. I gave up in the second season and was in the forefront of the criticism of the panelists of the program by my look. I feel it is very good that we generate discussion, it can not be afraid to debate. He has never been afraid to be discussed by my look, either for good or bad. The important thing is that comment so people open mind with regard to fashion.

There is a greater concern for the issue of fashion in general. How do you think today is the "famous" Chile on this issue?

I think that the famous are more cautious about their decisions. At events like breakfast or a red carpet they look good dressed and advised by professionals. Details matter, and I think that is one of the important messages delivered "Damn Fashion". In the section I, jackets Fashion, where we look at women in the street, I have noted that Chilean are worrying more. And I would love to think "Damn Fashion" is an important factor in this equation, we have been a boost for that attitude.

The street is a very accurate radiography. What is your negative and positive assessment you have seen?

I think that Chile lacks daring, without caring what say the side. Many girls come up to me and told me, for example, "Vesta, I saw you with some pompoms moored in the rings and went with my mom to buy several to do the same. Thank never have occurred to me and I do it for you you used ". That in a way is to make way for girls who dare not, and I love being part of that process. On the positive side, I think the Latin woman is extremely sexy and is reflected in the clothes you wear, cuts hair, makeup. But here I touch another negative point: a lack Chilean believe the story. There are many beautiful women and Chilean essence is fierce, but often feel overshadowed by what people will say.

Vesta and its alter ego

What do you think of national designers?

I think there is a lot of talent, and many emerging and consecrated designer, but few practical level that make the dress work. I mean invisible closures of poor quality, bad cuts and terminations, shoddy fabrics ... are very common things and it is unfortunate. Rescue work Sebastian del Real, Paulo Matias Hernan Mendez and designers I work a lot and think they are doing at that school. There is only one way of doing things, and do them well. I love using national design precisely why, for people to see that work.

"Damn Fashion" and has its section Best and Worst Dressed, could also open spaces for national design from a deeper perspective. Do you think the media are a real support for national design industry?

We gradually are generating content in that sense, and I want to get even more. We teach a section to create a dress, from the creation process, design thinking, brainstorming, buy the cloth, tailor it, try it, until you're ready. And my first guest is Sebastian del Real. I think that will also help the guys who maybe think about studying costume design, for example.

What is fashion for you?

A media outlet, an art that has a message behind. Today I wore a black kimono that covers my whole body because he wanted to hide a bit, did not want to go out with all lit with all the fire and the sun lights, he wanted to be more reclusive. If you sit down to watch people on the street, you can hear perfectly on it to watch.

Would you label as "light" or frivolous by this aspect?

Pretty, but fashion has given me food and paid me rent. I'm an actress school, I tired things, and I am businesswoman before anything else: my mission is to create an empire. I think fashion is closely linked to frivolity, and that's unfortunate, because it is a multi-billion industry that employs millions of people worldwide.

But in the same sense the issue of child labor and labor exploitation associated with this industry appears ...

It is a sensitive issue and no one wants to talk about, because we all wear clothes Zara, MNG and other brands that we manufacture their clothes in China. I think spokesmen who stand design author are needed, sustainable. There must be a balance. That is, the design author has a value; you can not pay the same for a shirt of Sebastian del Real who for one store.

Do you wear clothing designers only for national events or shopping for the day?

Of course. A Seba (Real) I always buy a design that takes each collection. I can not afford for the complete collection (laughs). For me what makes, like Paulo or Matthias, they are collector's items.

You imagine your closet packed with clothes ... it Is that so?

I am very practical, I move and travel a lot. Change city every one or two years, then I put all my stuff in boxes and 6 medium every 2 months do "clean". I gift my friends and also work with a foundation to give him clothes.

In an earlier interview you said that in your everyday life were very relaxed, usually baggy jeans or diver, polerones and XL shirts. Still it?

I think I've changed, but I've always said that I have 4 alter ego: the Vesta who dresses(short formal dresses) as a little child of 12 years with jeans or loose sweatshirt, shirt, loose shirt, hat and slippers. It's the Fashion Week with an alternative proposal, some medium and medium rare freak. There is also the hippie and bohemian, using more loose but elegant clothes, and finally the "Kel" version (Calderon, one of his great friends), using pencil skirt, blouse and stiletto heel type.

That last bit is ...

It is the least common. I use it a lot when I have to eat or close contracts with customers. It is more sober.

But in your videos is another version of you with a sexier image.

Is a character. I've always said that when they see me in a video is a story created by a professional team that has meaning to the song. All the songs have to do with a love affair or a man who was present in my life. Perhaps in that sense it is a more intimate Vesta.

Buy clothes in many places. One is the street Bandera, where every six months will used clothing stores to take a "feast" with her best friend, Javiera Sandoval. "We bought 20 lucas in clothes there and left full of stuff, it's a millionaire! I also travel a lot to Argentina and work with many young designers there, as kimono today I'm wearing. They do a lot of crazy things that designers here yet do because they are much more minimalist. When I travel too tired pecking "he says.

What advice would you give to those who do not have much money to spend on clothes?

Be creative. I myself have dressed with very little budget. With my mom passed to Independence and bought laces, buttons, clothing lint and costumizábamos. You can also use used clothing, go to Bandera, buy a jeans jacket and put a patch, for example. I remember spending hours costumizando Converse sneakers and T-shirts to use them once. The he used in the Fashion Week and the look was so "burned" by the exhibition then left stored for two years at least. While doing so becomes a very entertaining picture.

What items can not miss us to look good in the morning, afternoon or evening?

A good leather jacket is indispensable. Buccaneer also good black above the knee, or long boots.

And what are the fundamentals of your closet are?

Leather jackets. I have many colors and designs. For me it is the most basic of all basics.

Who inspires you in fashion?

I have several sources. One is Sarah Jessica Parker, another Anna Dello Russo, because they are a big influence on the younger generation and how they dress in various social institutions. At the national level, Francisca García-Huidobro. It is one of my greatest icons, because it is a very strong, independent and analytical woman, something I think is missing in Chilean television. I have always reference in my decision making.

What Chilean excel by their style?

I love Raquel Argandoña, I think it's one of the women I know more concerned about the details: from hair color to the huincha shoe, something that Chilean fail. She is always impeccable. And I also like Eugenia Lemus, one of the girls of the new generation that proposes different things and dares.

And what media you go for the field of fashion?

My computer always has open the pages of Vogue, Who What Wear and Man Repeller.

PARENTS, THE GREAT SUPPORT

two weeks of Vesta lives alone in Santiago ago. His family moved to Canada, a new context that assumes as part of it touches you, and perhaps a bit longer, can completely change. "The key to everything that has happened to me is because I've had my parents support me 24/7. Stay in Chile was not a decision I had to make was what happened. They went without turning back and I had to take a course. go with them or finish the season 'Damn Fashion' I opted for the latter and closing stages I'm living here, "he says.

That means you're leaving same.

I can never tie me to a place for a long time, it becomes impossible to me.

And Bruno Zaretti was a reason to stay?

(Smiles) That sort of thing I keep them for me.

For weeks it has been linked romantically to former Axe Bahia, with whom he was seen in public spaces such as the TV show "Dancing", where he participated and she accompanied him from the public. While she silent, he acknowledged the relationship.

Your mom is your manager, someone very present in your daily life, like your dad. The you'll miss ...

We are not very miss very emotionally. I am very cold, and therefore I find it hard to have people around me. I do not relate like a normal person.

What is related in "normal" way?

People understand that! I'm not normal because I'm not smiling, giving hugs, I can not publicly show my affection and my partners. I have been criticized a lot for not smile, but it is not natural for me to do. I was raised in a German super-cold form, and relationship with my parents is cold from that aspect: touching, hugging or kissing.

However, people close you note; in fact you said you are loving you on the street. What do you attribute what then?

I am simple and my parents have always taught me that all are equal, that respect is most important. There's something I attribute to Fran García-Huidobro something happens to me on the street stop me and tell me "Vesta, Vesta Diooosa ..." (makes the characteristic gesture join hands and bow) . That makes me laugh and I appreciate that (laughs). It amazes me how people give me their love, it's amazing.

IMAGE, THE BODY

In an interview in 2014 Vesta told us that "when I was in 'Bkn' and passed from child to adult, my body changed, and the channel was told it was more chubby and I had to go down because I looked wider on TV . it is part of the industry, one has to adapt, and I did. "

Although that judgment did not affect her deeply, he took it as a call to care for your body. Currently he is doing a lot of sports: running, boxing, spinning and functional weight training. "I train 5 or 6 times a week, two hours a day. Having that discipline is very important, especially if you work in television, because there are many people looking for a hair to criticize. I left very young taking care of the food, then it became a habit and today the sport is part of my life. If I do not train for two days I become as hyperkinetic. physical activity makes me happy. "

Maintain weight and follow a diet, they remain subject?

Yes, because I love to eat. I go to a restaurant and I am of the cheese, meat, white wine, a rich dessert. So I care a lot, because when I go out I treat myself to eat what you want.

What do you think the news that Angelina Jolie is hospitalized for anorexia?

It is a very sensitive issue, and being someone who always asks for privacy, I think you have to respect the process.(formal dresses Adelaide)

You are a child experiencing pressure to have an impeccable image, do you take the cause of women are fiercely required to be thin and be eternally young?

I think for all women is an issue, and the hardest part is when between us we try to fat, of gilts. Television is by far the denigrating each other. Yesterday I was at a photo shoot with other girls with whom we shall face of a brand, and piropee all. The makeup woman then told me it was very unusual that Chilean do that. I know what I am, why I can not tell the person next to you if I think positive?

In recent times it has been quite questioned the role of "ambassadors" of brands. You are what 4. What do you think?

We all have to earn bread the way we want. I'm not doing anything illegal or removing the paste to anyone.

I imagine choose brands that have to do with your values ...

Brands I do not choose me, I will choose them.
