Cande

I got to meet «Cande» (that’s how her manager and her fans call her) in London last week, where Swatch launched their newest watch collection called «SKIN». Cande’s full name sounds even more beautiful – Candelaria Molfese. I got to meet the actress in front of her hotel the morning after the event and asked her a couple of questions about her style – keep on reading!

This girl from Buenos Aires is only one year younger than me and super famous in Argentina, where she’s working as an actress, singer and tv presenter. Her role in the tv series «Violetta» on Disney Channel Latin America skyrocketed her success – which explains the 2.7 million Instagram followers.

One could think that such a young, beautiful celebrity has allures. But not this one. She was the most adorable person I met that night, she took her time for the shoot in the morning, arrived early, kissed and hugged me, and never stopped smiling. So refreshing! It was a pleasure to meet you Cande!

I love your outfit! Do you usually dress yourself?
No, I work with my sister Josephine, she’s my stylist. We both love fashion, and she always tells me what I should wear – I trust her completely.

Where do you get your inspiration from?
It depends. The fashion scene in Europe is amazing, I buy a lot of things here and I mix it with the pieces I got from Argentina. I wouldn’t say that I have one particular style – I love wearing girly and floral stuff. I just enjoy being a girl!

What’s your favorite piece of clothing?
I have a tiny little red bag, I got it in Argentina. It’s so small that not even my mobile phone fits in it! But I love it, I’d never give it away.

What helps you feeling comfortable in your SKIN?
My family! The people that I love. I’m comfortable when I eat healthy, when I workout, when I go running, and I love the gym. Exercise is a big thing for me.

What does «quality time» mean to you?
I love going to the cinema! La La Land was the last movie I saw, I didn’t like it that much though. It’s so basic. I mean, I like the movie, but my expectations were higher. What you might not expect: I love cleaning and cooking! I do a lot of these things in my free time.

Current project?
I’m working for a TV series from Argentina, as a TV presenter for another program, and in June I start with a program on Disney Channel.

You’re already super successful, but what’s your dream job?
I’d love to work for a TV series in Spain one day. I’d also love to be in a movie – something like «The Hunger Games», I love that kind of style!

Travel Tip for London?
Go to Topshop! (laughs) No, I love London – but I will have to come back. I still want to see a theater play. I love the time management here, eating early and going to sleep early, that’s my world. Now I’m about to go to Notting Hill, I’ve never been there, so I’m very excited.

RJ Puno für Swatch

Photo: Andrea Monica Hug

RJ Puno ist nicht nur hyperaktiv, fit wie ein Turnschuh und der Erfinder des Hashtags #FreezeOfTheDay (hier seht ihr mehr auf seinem Instagram-Account), sondern gleichzeitig das neuste Aushängeschild von Swatch. Ich durfte ihn auf einer Pressereise letzte Woche in München kennenlernen, und mich von seinen Superman-Qualitäten in der Luft überzeugen. Seht selbst!

Woher die Idee?
Spiderman! Ich wollte schon immer Spiderman sein. Ich begann damit vor drei Jahren. Früher war ich Tänzer, daher habe ich gelernt wie mein Körper und die Schwerkraft funktionieren.

Wie gefallen dir die neuen Swatch Uhren?
Sie fallen auf jeden Fall auf! Genau wie ich. Das mag ich.

Was gefällt dir an der Uhr am Besten?
Sie ist sehr simpel was das Design betrifft, und wenn man sie fallen lässt, geht sie nicht kaputt – das ist bei meinem Lifestyle und meinen Tricks sehr wichtig.

Wie beschreibst du deinen Stil?
Ich bin aus Kalifornien! Das sagt eigentlich alles, das ist mein Stil! Ich trage immer Vans, ich bin ein Skater, aber mein Stil wechselt eigentlich immer.

Was macht deine Zeit wertvoll?
Ich versuche immer produktiv zu sein, nicht zu Hause rumzusitzen. Wenn ich zu Hause bin, putze ich. Wenn ich Hunger habe, gehe ich mit Freunden essen. Make it count! Don’t waste your time! Because you can never get it back.

Die neuen Swatch POP Uhren kann man übrigens überall befestigen, wo man sie gerade haben möchte: Ob am Handgelenk, an einer Halskette oder als Tischuhr – diese Uhr ist auf jeden Fall ein Hingucker! Mehr dazu hier.
