Alejandra Dominguez: "In a matter of style I look for only my approval and be able to be myself"

RABAT abre las puertas de su nueva boutique en el número 2 del emblemático Paseo Vara del Rey de Ibiza. Un nuevo espacio que refuerza la unión actual de RABAT y la histórica joyería Viñets con la apertura de la boutique ROLEX en Ibiza en 2017. Dos boutiques (RABAT y ROLEX) que cohabitarán en los bajos del icónico Hotel Montesol. Un ambiente de 130 acogedores metros cuadrados que fusionan el estilo de Ibiza con la joyería.Alejandra Dominguez: Alejandra Dominguez:

Rabat is committed to creating a universe where customers can enjoy the beautiful Ibizan inspiration.And it has been the island itself with its beaches, its white architecture, its vegetation and its warm tones the perfect muse for the preparation of this new space.

For the interior design, natural materials have been used artisanally such as the rattan, wicker or wood.Ceramics in white and green tones with a golden touch provides the vegetable and organic detail.A space designed to represent the values of family tradition, commitment and exquisite crafts.

In the same boutique we were lucky to have the presence of the firm's friend, Alejandra Dominguez, who told us about her tricks to have a timeless style, in addition to a tour of her essential garments and accessories.

How would you define your style?

More eclectic of what people can believe, timeless, comfortable, sometimes a little retro and sometimes more classic, nothing sexy and a bit masculine.

What are the pillars of your style?

Feeling comfortable, safe and favored, looking for only my approval and thus being able to be myself.And try to go elegant, not sexy.Paradoxically, what is not seen (and imagines) is more.In addition, the style is eternal, the other is not.Elegance is ... eternal, timeless, mystical, sophisticated while discreet, beauty, ...

Your daily uniform is ...

In summer: Bermuda, preferably linen, with basic t -shirt (if it is better white) or shirt and flat sandals.In winter: jeans with shirt and plain oxford or blucher shoe.I always carry belt, both in winter and in summer.

Current celebrities whose style inspires you

I would not define them as celebrities to use, or as what is understood today, but the style whenever will inspire me is that of Daria Werbowy, Kate Moss and Laura Ponte.I also love Kate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton or Ángela Molina.

5 garments that always work, be the age you have

Alejandra Dominguez:

Cowgirls, black or navy blue, white shirt, high -neck jersey and the coat par excellence: the 101801 icon of Max Mara.

Who is your greatest inspiration in fashion?

Yves Saint Laurent occupies the position of honor, but I also love Julien Dossena (Paco Rabanne), Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Alessandro Michele (Gucci), Tom Ford, Virgine Viard (Chanel), Gabrielle Chanel andKim Jones (Fendi).Eye I speak of designers, not fashion brands!

As a model, how do you apply your taste for fashion to your day to day?

I suppose I will do it unconsciously, but in the day to day I am very basic, I do not complicate anything or pay special attention, what matters most is to be comfortable.

Can a detail not missing at home?

I am passionate about the candles: Fornasetti, Diptyque, Cire Trudon, Le Labo, Jo Malone, Acqua Di Parma, Tom Ford, Frederic Malle, Léon Panckocke ... I have the house full of candles, they go crazy!

What is the garment that cannot be missing in your closet?

A black crossed blazader with width shoulder blades.

Your favorite prints are ...

Me gustan muchísimo los de Liberty, sobre todo los de Art Noveau o los míticos de plumas de pavo reales. También me encantan los de Manuel Canovas, Cole and Son y Matthew Williamson. Aunque estos tres últimos sean principalmente telas de tapicería, me siguen enamorando igual y los utilizaría para cualquier cosa. De hecho en Liberty me he comprado muchas veces telas de tapicería con las que me he hecho mi propia ropa y son estampados más diferentes que los tradicionales de allí que están pensados para ropa. Y, por supuesto, me encantan los estampados paisley de las batas inglesas masculinas. Tengo que hacerme con una de esas batas de hombre, me encantan las de New&Lingwood.

What are seasonal trends for you?

I can make a summary of each season, grouping several styles in which brands agree to talk about 'seasonal trends', but I don't really believe in them.I don't believe in trends.I always say.I think they insist on saying 'This trend takes a lot this season ...' but that will never come out of my mouth.I don't believe in fashions.I think the beautiful is eternal, as in architecture, painting, cinema, ... etc.Fashion, as art that is, if done with quality and with good taste (although there are people who do not understand it, how works of art are sometimes understood) can always be put.

What colors dominate in your closet?

Black, white, gray and camel as basic, and all the shades of the purple, pink and blue.I am more of cold than warm colors.

If you had to choose a single piece as essential and SUV, which one would you stay with?

I think I would stay with jeans, there is no, from my point of view, nothing more versatile.

What is never missing in your suitcase?And in your bag?

The most important thing about my suitcase both in summer and winter is always my bag.As for clothes, it depends on the season, but now in summer you can not miss basic white t -shirts.Regarding the bag ... I usually wear a huge bag whenever it is a bottomless well, in which you can find absolutely everything.I am very of the 'In case ...' and so I go, with a bag that one day will leave me without shoulder.From a black uniqlo all year in case I enter, several glasses, both to see and sun (up to 4 or 5), as a small bag where there are several lipsticks in nude tones, Elizabeth Arden's eight hour, hydroalcoholic gel,Masks and medicines.

What is the perfect look to go to dinner with your friends in summer?

As this year or the past I leave after dinner (for the pandemic) everything is much more relaxed: flat sandals, jeans or shorts and a shirt involved inside with a belt and pending.

How you take care of yourself?

What is most paying attention to my skin.My routine in summer consists of 3 steps:

1. Clean: day and night with Cleansing Complex of Is Clinical or the VIP O2 of Biologique Recherche.

2. Treat: by day I first use the vitamin C serum of is clinical: pro-heal and above the Hydra-cool serum, also of the same brand.At night I use Active Serum followed by Hydra-Cool, both of Is Clinical.

3. Hydrate: In the eye contour I use Eye R Repair Serum de Guerlain and in the rest of the face the marine collagen cream of Biologique Recherche.On the lips I apply the Eight Hour balm of Elizabeth Arden as a final finishing touch.

In addition, I try to use the Unicskin Led Led Mask almost every night: LED Korean Mask.And once a week to make my own beauty session at home with the masks of the Prairie: 3-minute peel and Luxe Sleep Mask.

As for the body;I carry a normal and homemade diet, eating everything, especially a lotIt is the one who makes food.Contrary to what people can think, spoon dishes are very healthy and nutritious and with few fats if legumes predominate.Also like many salads and purés, because the vegetable costs me more and I have to fool it.The same thing that happens to me with the fruit, it is hard for me to eat it.At night, if I have spent the weekends, I try to compensate, having a light, having a light.

I do not go to the gym, nor do I like to run or do a lot of sports, I keep trying 1 hour a day at least 4 or 5 days a week.

What style trick have you learned from your mother/ your grandmother/ a relative?

From my mother and my aunt, who has always passionate about the haute couture and clothing perfectly finished, with unpolluted patterns, which the most important thing to wear clothes is an impeccable ironing.It seems even other clothes.

What is your favorite accessory?

I think the belts and shoes, although we are not going to fool ourselves, I am a glasses collector and they go crazy!

What jewel cannot be missing in your jeweler?

Yellow gold rings and chains.I am always yellow gold.

An essential jewel with which you have to become throughout your life?

I had always wanted to get some vintage jewel with history, mainly with some ring or slopes.However, after this last session with Rabat in Ibiza, I have fallen in love with my chokers in white and bright gold.
