We had the good fortune of connecting with Leonor Charlotte Marie Domecq and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Leonor Charlotte Marie, do you have a budget? How do you make lifestyle and spending decisions?
Well, I am a girl who likes to have everything in order and under control at home, in my life and in what is around me, but Mainly I think that everyone is stressed by the financial field “money” what we spend every day
And when you are young it is even more complicated or stressful considering the expenses of each day always have to be in order. but since I was a girl I have had very good economic stability
But I always try to save money for any mishap. the Faith is being able to have a career where you can have a lifestyle to do the things you want to do because you enjoy the work and you don’t have to worry about the other things. . I like to lead a high and comfortable lifestyle to look good and feel good in all aspects but I like to have a controlled level of expenses
As long as everything is in order, the budget can be unlimited occasionally and not always.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am a young American model, singer-songwriter, producer and DJ with French and Spanish roots. Born from a family of businessmen and lawyers, where my grandparents were in politics abroad at the time. During my childhood I spent a lot of time traveling and got very used to the diversity of styles and cultures. That helped me adjust much easier when
I started my modeling career at the age of 5, doing campaigns for different brands like H&H, GUESS, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein. In my beginning I signed a contract with the Formodel company to work as a child model.
During my career I took a break for my studies, but my grandmother really believed deeply in my talent, she supported me to resume my career, during my time in the modeling industry, I signed with other companies like IMG, elite Model and select Model. I have used modeling as a platform to explore all the edges that fashion offers me in the creative and business part, putting into practice my musical and stylistic fashion talent, thus meeting different connoisseurs of these fields to be able to create my own style and also venture into the music industry
She has been part of various events such as EDC, lollapalooza, Coachella and New York Fashion Week. What makes me different I think I have a versatile aspect and I am a multifaceted young woman I like to learn and test myself in new things like music I think that in the new rites, the lyrics have no end we can combine different sounds thus giving a clean melody and sweet also on the fashion side, fashion is part of everyday life, but there are wardrobe rules, but I think I’m a rule breaker. He developed an easily identifiable style of his own, with my fans and those around me with a strong creative direction that led to other emerging models and designers. My streetstyle looks, I really like tailored pieces, especially long jackets, my blazer style that is worn over the shoulder on occasions or in an oversize style, it is for casual days but it is very comfortable to wear, I like it. The security that I have is instilled in me by my family in my early maturity, I always try to have control and try to be an example for my fans or for the rest of the young people who see me outside my networks to achieve their goals and Dream with discipline, never give up. because since I live in a country in the United States where the majority of young people now have immigrant parents or Latino parents, they think they are not good enough or because of bullying in schools because of racism in their environment in this sense for the natives who now I think are very few leads many young people to take bad paths because of the trafficking of diversity of cultures in the country but I believe that we can all make our lives a better world and if I can bring about a change or inspire others in some group of young people I am always willing to try. I am happy to make a change in this new generation and the next. How did you get to where you are today professionally?
With a lot of time of work and discipline believing in myself and in the path that I am forming, most of the time I am creating new ideas and dreams with goals fulfilled to grow more in my work as a singer and model.
And I know that God puts the right pieces on my board to achieve my goal.
I know that we are all born with a purpose. So I fully trust in God and in my daily effort.
I believe that no dream or job that you want to achieve in your life will be easy and requires a lot of time and effort. And more in the artistic field, since to get them to believe in you or in your work , it is complicated but never impossible. The lessons I have learned on the way to being a model is that we are all different and unique, we are beautiful as we are and we must accept ourselves as we are, since in this job there will always be people who will judge you or tell you that you have no talents to play with your mind and they will try to make you feel bad if you are insecure or very fragile maybe it is not your job but it is always necessary to strengthen your confidence and your goals so that they never cross the barrier of your positive thoughts, I always have confidence in my self.
Being oneself It is the key to everything as long as you feel comfortable with your work and in everything you do since things look better when they come out naturally and you manage more easily on stage so that more agencies or discographies look at you and want work with you. the same happens with music these routes are very difficult but with discipline and believing in yourself you manage to make everything work better and you can knock on big doors so that they see your talent. I like what I do
And that’s what makes me create things that inspire and grow over time.
I want to let the world know that dreams can be created and fulfilled no matter where you come from or who you are, we are all special and talented, we just have to exploit that light that we have in what we want to do.
I’m a dreamer and I believe in what I do
I want the world to be inspired by my route and my music so that they can create their own path of fulfilled dreams.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I think I have some favorite places in New York City. I like the outdoors, I think I’d take my best friend to relax a bit IN BRYANT PARK maybe we’d watch an outdoor movie and visit THE PUBLIC LIBRARY to tour its neoclassical façade and go deeper into the discussion of its history within the present and In the past, we would also go to lunch at one of my favorite restaurants. I am vegan but I like its varied menu of Mediterranean food, il Buco located on Bond Street in Downtown Manhattan. I would order a green tomato salad with a touch of walnuts and cranberry sauce and a green juice infusion for both.
I would take you for a walk to the HUDSON YARDS OBSERVATORY to see its beautiful and spectacular view to take some nice souvenir photos
And why not stroll through DE THE SHOPS & RESTAURANTS to buy something for your visit to the city?
We would also go to spend some time at the LITTLE SPAIN MARKET to try a Spanish dish or dessert since as I have a part of my family that is Spanish, it is always present in my days and I like that my friends can learn more about the culture. also a moment at the MoMa art museum and we would see Van Gogh’s Starry Night or Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon! So you can enjoy the different works of art in the museum
and well there really is a place where I go when I want something sweet and cold I think I would also be on the list to go with my friend is an ice cream parlor called Emack and Bolio
It has different flavors and fun cones it is not the best ice cream but it does have an infinite variety that we can enjoy and try I think you would love to go and to finish the trip we will go to
Le Bain, a place to hang out listening to music and go dancing total distraction with its penthouse nightclub theme overlooking Manhattan and the Hudson River.
But something if it would be necessary for the two of us to just spend some time talking about our friendship only about friends things on the sofa in the living room, I really think that would be the end of everything in this travel itinerary with my best friend.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would recognize the support that my grandparents have given me, but mainly my grandmother, who encourages me every day to go ahead and believe in myself, gives me advice and makes me always feel special, taught me from a young age that there is a path for everyone and It is God who chooses you to work on good things, you just have to trust him and I fully trust him. I thank my grandmother for all the words that encourage me to keep dreaming because she believed in a girl with dancers who had a great dream of being a singer and model and with effort, dedication I am achieving my goals, ¡God’s timing is perfect! And I know that he has worked in my life in a special way and will continue to do so. I will also say that the support and company of my dear Milan, my pug puppy who accompanies me in almost all my trips and when I feel sad or really just want some free time, is my path to happiness and my best company. he is a little four-legged angel who encourages me to keep fighting for both of us and achieve my goals.
