At 24 years old, Yomalix Gissel Herrera, born in the United States but currently living in Madrid, Spain, has a Bachelor’s in Human Communications and a Master’s in Corporate Communication. Still, her passion for fashion was born when she was a child.
“I used to draw clothes, and I also used to love my Barbie’s style. As I got older, I watched all the cool movies and replicated the actresses’ styles by adding my touch of elegance,” she recalls.
Moda Ahora talked to this Girl to Watch and told us more about her style.
Why do you like fashion so much?
I have been captivated by the fashion industry since I was a little girl. I never thought that social media or a blog would become a creative outlet for fashion lovers. I was always shy about exposing myself on social media. I decided to create my blog and search for blogs on Instagram because a few girls in my area were starting a blog. So, they inspired me to do the same.
How would you define your look?
I have a very versatile look. I don’t think I have a specific style that defines me. I love to rock the sleek style and the effortless Dirty Chic. I wear what I think looks good and makes me feel good.
What do you want to project with this one?
I’m a curvy girl. I’m not the typical blogger who is skinny. I want girls to feel comfortable with what they wear and use fashion to be artistic and accessible. Style has no rules, so it should be fun! I want girls to feel motivated and empowered and feel like they can do anything they want.
What is the must-have accessory in the fashion lover’s closet of choice?
A simple black and white tee are two essential statement pieces that can be dressed up or down. Plus, I like black heels.
