We recently caught up with Maria Sole Cecchi, the co-founder and creative director of Les Petits Joueurs to see how her quarantine is going. Many of us find ourselves scrolling through our photo albums as we day dream of past vacations and future ones to come. For this series we ask some of our favorite designers and fashionistas to share with us where they’d rather be, how they are spending their time, and what’s the first thing they’ll do when this ends.
Where are you currently?
My family house in Florence
Where would you rather be?
Horse riding Wild & free in Argentina
Lost in the jungle in Jamaica
In a cabana in front of the sea in Tulum
What are you currently listening to?
I have recently discovered that different djs are collaborating with you
guys in making some cool playlists on Spotify. I love them!
In particular i am listening the one of Simone De Kunovich meanwhile
meditating/doing some exercises.
Top 10 quarantine essentials?
Fruits & legumes everyday- plus celery juice in the morning. A good
book to read facing the balcony with a cool pair of sunglasses- serums
and essentials oils to take care of my skin plus a good face cleaning
tool to use- workout outfits to Jump the cord everyday and a notebook to
write down all my thoughts. My iPad helps me to stay connected with the
world and follow my dance tutorials.
What is the first thing that you will do when this passes?
I will start working on my collections and new work projects
Favorite pieces from your latest collection?
Some of my favourite new pieces are absolutely the glossy PVC Gemma mules, the sparkly crystal Zahir sandals and, of course all the ultra-marine gems: the Aster Sea & the Shell clutch.
What was the inspiration for your last collection?
The SS20 “Tropical Safari” collection is inspired by the vibrant
spectacles of the ocean and the savage patterns of the wilderness.
How will you be different after this experience? Is there anything you
realized you took for granted?
“I feel that this experience really helped me in understanding my priorities in life and how I want to work on my projects and on my brand in the future.It made me think about how our reality will possibly change and how we can all be ready for that newness.The thing I took most for granted was the importance of time, both for my mind and my heart.”
A special thank you to Maria Sole Cecchi.
