A girl

Amanda Sanchez is a model.But only for the Chanel house.A dream work that allows this Brazilian to devote her life to two of her passions: fashion and travel.Mother of a little boy, this great brunette with almond eyes cultivates several other passions - as varied as he was hedroche - to the rhythm of cheerfully contagious joie de vivre.Number 1: The plants, which populate her apartment, and whom she cherishes like friends.Number 2: Gadgets and figurines, with a preference for everything Japanese.

A work

Plean exile in Paris for over 20 years, this globetrotter was born in Sao Paulo but began her career in Spain, when she moved to Barcelona for studies."I started to do a little model on weekends, next to it, to make a little pocket money and allow me to continue traveling.This allowed me to discover a multitude of different countries and cultures. ”

A style

Amanda Sanchez still keeps her little Brazilian accent, especially when she dresses.She embodies with panache the style of a French house, which she twists all -out of colors and accessories.His extra-Slim silhouette allows him to play the chameleons, slipping in style in everything that makes the salt of the brand: tweed jackets, pretty denim, mini shorts, cavalier blouses and flexible and aerial dresses.She tries, tries, makes her style evolve permanently, folding with a single rule: that of the natural.Eclectic, instinctively, a never finished finished for fear of slippage ... and Too Much: "I'm always afraid of being too dressed.I like to mix extremely sophisticated pieces with others more casual.My look must work all day: from the morning when I will buy my bread, in the evening for a dinner with friends.I dress for myself, as I want to see myself. "

Favorite creators

Unsurprisingly Chanel.But also acne studios or friend Alexandre Mattiussi.

Jewelry

The play of her dressing room from which she would not separate for anything in the world?His mother's engagement ring.Its relationship to jewelry is quite spontaneous, like fashion: "I choose them according to my look - but not fundamental in the construction of a look."

Bags

An addiction.Amanda is perhaps the Parisian who has the most bags in the world.In his room, his “bag tree” makes a multitude of scratched and colorful models pushed as if by magic, from the first receipt at the end of his first casting at one of the last born of the house: the 19th, his darlingfrom the moment.

Shoes

His collection of Vans is almost as impressive as that of his Chanel bags: “I am often flat, I like to be comfortable.I also like to mix very sophisticated pieces with sneakers. ”

Last purchase

A pleated printed dress from the last Chanel Spring-Esté 2021 pre-color and yet another plant.

Apartment

"Nothing has been premeditated, I work at the crush." Like its fashion, its interior looks like it and has been "dressed" in instinct. “There are a multitude of small objects that remind me of my family, my friends and my trips.” Atypical, living and warm, the omnipresent plants rub shoulders with manga figurines and collector pieces brought back from Chanel parades to the four corners of the world. Brazil, of course, is omnipresent, by its colors and the summer side: “I come from a country where it is summer all year round, and that's what I wanted to transcribe in my universe Parisian with this accumulation of wicker and plants. ” When she moved, the apartment was already furnished. "My owner restores furniture and I therefore decided to keep some like a coffee table or a light. I like the idea that this apartment already had its own story and to appropriate pieces that have had a life before me and that come to mix with my universe in an organic way. "
