POPSUGAR: What's your work-from-home routine like?
Camila Coelho: The first days of quarantine, I had no routine at all and worked from my sofa — but that didn't give me any motivation. I get ready as if I'm leaving the house every day, and I work from my office table. I'm wearing a lot of my comfortable Camila Coelho Collection pieces right now, especially the silk pajama set and then the silk slip dress for when I want to feel a bit more dressed up but still comfortable. That motivates me. I write down my to-do list, what I want to accomplish each day. Then after work, I practice self-care. I still might not get it all done in one day, but as long as you are staying in a routine and being productive, then you will continue to think positively.
PS: How are you staying inspired to design right now?
CC: While I'm finalizing fall 2020 design plans now (via Zoom), I am definitely inspired by chic loungewear, and you will be seeing that reflected in my upcoming collections. I've been not only been watching [how] my fellow designers, like Prabal Gurung and Christian Siriano, use this time for creativity and philanthropy, but I'm also telling them how much I love what they're doing and how it inspires me every day.
