By Hello guys! I know September was a great month but I bet October will be even better! As you know, I always have a new face for the first day of the month on my dudes fashion section and today is no exception. My special guest is a Nicaraguan actor/producer and lawyer. His name is Gerardo Sanchez and I had the honor to have him for today’s post. Gerardo went to law school and currently works at an ONG as an environmental lawyer, but everyone knows him better for his career as an actor and producer. He started in the T.V. industry with reality shows such as “Aventados” in 2007, and “RutaAlterna” in 2012, then he moved to the big screen with a movie produced by him, named “Mojados” and he just finished his second movie “Beso de Bala” directed by Puerto Rican movie director “Diego de la Texera”. Besides his incredible career track, Gerardo also has a great sense of style and that’s one of the reasons he’ll be giving us some tips on how to follow his fashion! We had so much fun doing this shoot and I hope you get to enjoy this post and the interview we did! Hopefully Gerardo will be back to give us more tips for a relaxed and chill look π
1. ΒΏCΓ³mo describirΓas tu estilo personal?
Dual y no muy complicado. Pero esto tiene que ver con los distintos momentos y situaciones en los que me desarrollo, a veces toca ser el ejecutivo promedio, de tonos oscuros y grisΓ‘ceos. Otras veces (Y el que mΓ‘s prefiero) es el Surfero, relajado..despreocupado.
How would you describe your personal style?
Ambiguous and not complicated. But I think it has to do with the different situations I involve myself into, sometimes I’m the average executive, and then I see myself as the Surfer (which is my favorite) , relaxed and breezy.
