People feel they know her since she was born. She grew up in the limelight, and since she left her parents home and started living freely, she has always stood out. She grew surrounded by art, animals, and nature and now she is creating her own singer style. Just some month after launching her solo career, Lelé talked with Le Banana:
This year you work hard both with Madness Clothing and with your music career, what did you enjoy the most of all this process?
I really enjoy my job. Both things are amazing and I feel I’m blessed to have the chance of doing what I love. I love my clothing brand, I love playing, creating, and developing different things. Music is beautiful and I am happy with this project; I have enjoyed every single thing I’ve been gone through and I feel overjoyed when find myself writing and singing my own songs -in spite of my fears that of course are always there but that I try to overcome.
Madness could create a solid community through social media, hashtags, and powerful images. What do you like the most of this brand?
In Madness we are all women, it is a group of young powerful women who are eager to create and carry our message. I enjoy everything, since the process of creating the photos and the looks to the moment of IG content creation. We plan and create everything together. It is great.

You have just launched “I”, the first single of your album. How do you feel now that you are showing your music to so many people?
It was a shock because I felt that song like a birth. I gave a lot of my inner self in that process. I was fearful, I was nervous, but above all, I felt sheer happiness. I love this song and I love listening to people singing it and seeing that now it belongs to everyone.
And next year you’ll perform at Lollapalooza Argentina, how do you feel about that? Which are your dreams about the show?
I am still in shock! I am very excited about it! It is something new and it is an honor for me to be there sharing something so personal as my music. We will give everything on stage!
You have always been into creative things: first, painting; then fashion, and now music. Have you thought about gathering together all your passions in one project some time?
Yes. They are all related at some point and it would be great to do something that include them all.

What made you share some weeks ago your anorexia and bulimia issues with your more than 3 million followers?
It was something that came deep from my heart. I think it is good to share this kind of things. Even more if it is something that can help others. After sharing my experience, I saw that other women also shared their stories problems, I think we have to talk about our fears and issues in order to cope with them.
You have a lot of fans and followers that always give you love through social media, but you also have some “haters”. How do you handle that?
I get on really well with my fans, who are now kind of friends. I feel people’s love and care. It’s everything okay with haters -laughters- I am not interested in being liked being liked by everyone.

You also have time for love. How are you when you are in love and what is what you enjoy the most about your relationship?
I fall in love easily. I am passionate and romantic. I love love and I love sharing life with a such a beautiful person as my boyfriend (Luca Bonomi, son of Kosiuko’s founders). I am happy, I have a lot of fun and we are having a great time together.

You have a unique style and you are always adding new trends and innovating with your outfits. What do you like the most about fashion?
I have fun playing, mixing and creating new things. Fashion is versatile and it can even show my mood and how I am feeling. But above all what I prioritize is being comfortable. Everything’s fair, we don’t have to stick to trends.

Your beauty routine?
I love taking care of my skin and my hair. I am a cream and makeup addict. I must always have them with me. I wash my face, I cleanse my skin, and I moisturize it. As for my hair, I have hair treatments done so as to have it healthy.
