BLANCA MIRÓ SKOUDY
BLANCA MIRÓ SKOUDY

Blanca is the face to our last campaign (Atlantida) shot by Wai Lin Tse in Sitges, Barcelona. A part from her natural beauty, charm and elegance, Blanca is one of Spain's most original and upcoming artists. Coming from a very artistic background, Blanca creates a one of a kind universe where her illustrations, comics, sculptures, videos and installations become rare psychic worlds combined with tangible objects both from nature and the digital world; plants, fruits, pottery, ice creams, aliens, computers, phones and the internet ... all synchronize together in perfect harmony. Her work is fun, colorful and kitsch but in depth communicates social concerns regarding sexism, consumer culture and the effects of globalization.The colors, textures and shapes She has been influenced by the post modernism era and admires artists like: David Hockney, Picasso, Miró and other Outsider art Worldwide.

WAI LIN TSE
WAI LIN TSE

Our latest Atlantida Campaign was shot by previously fashion designer, now photographer; Wai Lin Tse in Sitges, Barcelona. Her photography is a special one capturing light and presence with a delicate but strong; feminity. Lin has a great cultural mix, her blood splits between Cantonese and Catalonian, born in the UK and raised between England and Spain, she now lives in Barcelona. Her previous work as a fashion designer has educated her eye to capture details in texture and feel of our fabrics and pieces. We love that retouching is not her favorite as it gave every picture the raw and natural beauty Datura is all about. Her portfolio is extensive, our favorite of her collaborations are with Apartamento Magazine, Lula Magazine and brands like Eyty's, Castañer, Oysho, Urban Outfitters

We chose a minimalist aesthetic to help us exude feelings of reassurance, comfort and joy innate to the woman of today.
