00:03I pinch myself all the time how did you start was it a hobby was it your passion
00:14already I started with beauty actually and then I got into fashion I wanted to
00:19do fashion weeks and be more involved with fashion and talk about fashion on
00:23my blog as well and so that's when I stepped into the fashion world it's not
00:26like today that we know the industry we know that bloggers influencers it is a
00:31career it is a job and then you can be successful and make a lot of money with
00:35it but back then I had no idea and it was also a learning process you know and
00:41then you became a brand before I launched an actual label you know Camila
00:47Quila collection I was already a brand as the years went by I came to understand
00:53how important that was creating your own branding taking care of your image and
00:58your name my followers already know me and how I work and also like being a
01:05hundred percent involved in whatever I do I want my brand to be very me and I want
01:10my followers to know that I'm there managing it and creating it for them
01:14that's the reason why I moved to Los Angeles it was a very big decision for
01:19me and my husband his whole family's in Boston I'm learning every single day the
01:24Camila that started the brand and the Camila now has so much more experience
01:28on creating product has more confidence if each collection that I drop makes me
01:34happier than the previous ones I feel like I'm in the right path how do you
01:37create a blazer I go by trends and things that I like to wear this blazer we
01:43created in black the first one was such a basic piece and I thought to myself it's
01:47not even gonna sell but I want a black ways in my wardrobe and it's the best
01:50selling piece in our collection and now we're creating it in different colors so
01:54I want to have like our basic CCC pieces but also you know always create
01:59different things that I like to wear and that I feel the CCC girl would like to
02:04wear I want women to feel confident number one I want them to always feel sexy
02:10even if they're wearing a suit and also feel like put together at the same time and
02:16when we feel confident while we're wearing it completely changes your mood I
02:21think number one is us finding that light that we have inside of us and like
02:26believing in us knowing that we are beautiful we are all different but we
02:32we all have this gorgeous light inside of us so every little step of my career I
02:36don't take it for granted and I pinch myself almost like you know at least once a
02:41month because I think it's we should all be very grateful to number one do what
02:49we love that is like a gift and you know when you do what you love and you get
02:54support from it you get recognition for me it's priceless
