VERONICA LOPEZ: THE GRANDMA

C: Veronica, what is fashion to you?

V: Fashion, mmm, fashion is what all women dream about all day long thanks to the magnificent designers who give us the option to dress however we want.

C: Describe your style in one word.

V: My style is… I would have liked to be more casual, but now that I'm older, you know I'm older, how awful! I've become more disorganized, but I've always dressed classically. Sometimes I make a mistake and sometimes I don't, but when I realize it, I'm left with my mistake.

C: What is your role in Nicoletta Valentina?

V: My role in Nicoletta Valentina is to be the meanest of them all, hahaha. No, look, my role is to do quality control when it comes to clothes. Sometimes we argue with Nico because she's stuck with the people who sew for her, and I find all their mistakes. I also check and pack everything so it leaves in perfect condition.

C: In your opinion, what is the style of Chilean women in terms of fashion?

V: Chilean women are bolder now. They used to be more timid. Today's women are more seductive, modern, and daring. I absolutely love it when women of all ages are well-dressed.

C: Items that can't be missing from your wardrobe

V: A good blazer, a white shirt, and good trousers. Comfortable shoes and socks—I love them.

C: What you want most for your life

V: What I want most is to be healthy and always be by my granddaughter's side, accompanying her. It's a gift from above.

C: Favorite designer?

V: Dior, Christian Dior.

C: Nicoletta Valentina's favorite item of clothing

V: Oh! She has so many. Some coats we made embroidered with pearls. I couldn't choose because she's made so many beautiful pieces, I just can't choose! And when I don't like a piece, of course I tell her.

C: The best and worst things about working at Nicoletta Valentina

V: The best thing is seeing how much my granddaughter has grown and how amazing her imagination is. She's authentic, she shows her things as they are, she has so much imagination for creating and designing, and I admire that, because I can't even sew on a button, haha.

As for the worst part… I think it's when we argue because we disagree on some things, and that breaks my heart. She defends her ideas, and I'm older than her. Besides, she's very dedicated, so I'm always supporting her.

C: What would you say to the audience that watches you every day? We saw that Nico posts you on her personal Instagram stories @lanona_nv

V: Oh my God! I feel a bit awkward, but I have to thank you all. This is my life, so for people to like me and send me nice things on social media is a huge compliment. It's like we're all friends, all our clients are friends of Nicoletta Valentina. I've always been a little crazy, and I can't help it.
