We are delighted to introduce you to the founder of the clothing brand Maria de la Orden . A designer with a keen eye, she takes you into her world and shares her best Parisian addresses, her well-being tips and her vision of fashion.
Can you describe the concept of your brand Maria de la Orden?
We are a DNVB (Digital Native Vertical Brand) that offers timeless women's clothing at reasonable prices. They are made with 100% natural materials and manufactured in Europe according to local know-how. Our particularity is that we release mini capsules very regularly with new products! Our customers love it!
How would you define the spirit of the woman Maria de la Orden?
Independent, traveling, free and feminine women.
What key pieces can we find in your collections?
In summer, kaftans, pareos, high-waisted pants are essential in our collection. We launched the Alerie series, smocked dresses and shirts in lots of colors and prints that were very successful. I think it will remain a flagship line in future collections. In winter, our cashmeres are a hit! Classic cuts with daring and modern colors.
How did you get started on your entrepreneurial adventure?
I think I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit... I can't help but have 3000 ideas for projects and want to implement everything! Mariadela Orders started after a trip with my family to Peru where I fell in love with the country and its crafts. I brought back some fabrics and started selling my creations to my friends... Then Instagram appeared and helped me a lot to make myself known.
What are your wellness tips for living life in the fast lane?
A good breakfast every day: avocado toast with tomato and olive oil! With that I have energy all morning!
What is your relationship with food supplements and how has D+ for care revolutionized it?
DAY+ was my first food supplement and I am not disappointed! For 3 months now, it is the first thing I take when I wake up!
Between us… do you recommend D+ for care to your girlfriends or is it your best kept beauty secret?
I share of course!
Your favorite addresses?
Komatsubaki , for me the best Japanese in Paris. I love the shop THANKS and its café/library and the Saint Ouen flea market to hunt for vintage furniture.
Your essentials that accompany you everywhere at the beach?
A small wicker basket and a hat from From Estree (the brand of one of my best friends).
Editor's note: Find the interview from D'Estrëe founder Géraldine Guyot, online on our site.
Your favorite outfit this summer?
A one-piece swimsuit Eres with our Miramar pareo in natural linen and our small Juju sandals in raffia!
Your favorite beauty gestures?
No real beauty routine developed but I never forget to remove my makeup with Bioderma micellar water. For my hair, I use Christophe Robin products, especially the regenerating range with prickly pear oil.
Your fashion and beauty icons/inspirations?
I take a lot of inspiration from the 70s/80s, I love the outfits of Jackie Kennedy, Jane Birkin, Romy Schneider, Grace Kelly...
What makes you feel beautiful?
Slip into one of our Aleria dresses which sculpt your figure wonderfully.
Which category of D+ for care women do you identify with?
The cheeky one: compensating for my busy schedule for a clear conscience and beautiful skin.
What is your mantra to stay motivated no matter what happens in your life as an entrepreneur?
Nothing is impossible!
And finally… “Less is more” or “More the better”?
It depends on my state of mind!
