STIL: A Xirena style tip for Stil customers?!ĭR: Nothing too ‘perfect’ always works for me. STIL: What’s the best advice you have ever been given?ĭR: Try not to be reactive, and ask questions before reaching a conclusion (this is an ongoing work in progress for me!) “Alone” time regenerates me and one of the benefits of living in Los Angeles is time in my car listening to podcasts and music.ĭR: La Scala chopped salad…the best in LA!ĭR: Anything from Caroline Myss or Brene Brown I try and turn work off when I’m at home but find it difficult. STIL: How do you manage your work/ life balance?ĭR: It’s not easy. STIL: Is there anything that you do or take religiously every day?ĭR : Yes…my coffee, red light therapy and meditation. I love architecture and discovering new neighborhoods that I never knew existed. I spend a lot of time outdoors hiking and walking the streets near my home. STIL: You travel extensively with your collection, and you are not only showing Xirena but also overseeing all the collections that show through your agency Findings (amongst them is Stil favourite Ulla Johnson)– how do you find relaxation and equilibrium after such a trip?ĭR: Exercise and meditation are key to my mental health and laughter is essential for me as a person.

STIL: Which labels other than Xirena would we find in your own wardrobe?ĭR: My closet is filled with Isabel Marant, Ulla Johnson, Forte Forte, Free City and an overabundance of vintage denim.

We have also repurposed our cotton prints to create masks this past year and are continuing to pursue ways to be more sustainable in future seasons. The fabric we use to create our printed lingerie is sourced from upcycled fabric. STIL: How does sustainability feature within Xirena?ĭR: We support our local community and produce 95% of the Xirena collection in Downtown Los Angeles. My favorites are Long Beach Antique Market, The Rose Bowl in Pasadena and more curated shows like Pickwick Vintage and A Current Affair Market Place, both in Los Angeles. I am consistently looking for amazing vintage pieces, textiles, and great finds wherever I’m travelling. STIL: Can you describe for us a little about your creative process?ĭR: My eyes are always open. The idea for the line came to me while on vacation in Formentera and our first pieces had iridescent elements which made me think of mermaids. We set out to make the perfect white shirt and that’s how it all started.ĭR : Xirena is derived from the Spanish word Sirena, meaning mermaid. Once we created the lingerie, I knew we couldn’t stop there. In 2013, I came home with the idea of starting a lingerie line and 3 weeks later Xirena was born. You then founded your own label, Xirena, in 2013, can you tell us what was the inspiration behind Xirena?ĭR: We travel to Spain each summer and I’ve always loved the way (local) girls ride around town on their vespas with white shirts and colorful swim bottoms.
