Inside Gabriela Berlingeri Diciembre Veintinueve Brand

Berlingeri’s fear of exposure has slowly faded as she’s taken a front-facing role in her business, especially on social media, where she’s regularly seen in videos making jewelry, playing with her dog Sansa, and modeling the brand’s designs. She has also collaborated with other designers like Puerto Rico-based womenswear label Eclípitica, which brought her in as a “muse” for a capsule collection, and Carolina Herrera, which invited Berlingeri to its latest resort show in Brazil. When I ask her if becoming more of an influencer-designer hybrid interests her, she pauses: “I do it more to get eyes on my brand,” she explains. “I like being more behind the scenes, but if I can be there and can participate, that’s great.”
