Over an intimate shoot at The Manner in NYC, Brazilian entrepreneur, model and influencer Camila Coutinho talks sex, love, and fashion with our founder. Listen in…

Francisco Costa: Let’s warm up. Say what comes to mind: the color for sex?

Camila Coutinho: Dark gray. Not black because we want to see a little bit, you know? Smoky.

FC: Favorite thing about being an entrepreneur?
CC: I like not knowing what's going to happen the next day, because that's the life of an entrepreneur. I like it. 

FC: Day or night. 
CC: Mornings.

FC: What’s your routine like? 
CC:  I’m super into wellness. I eat healthy, but I don't do crazy things. Don't take my drinks away and if I feel like having a hamburger, I will do it. 

FC: You created an amazing brand called GE Beauty. What does it stand for? 
CC: I wanted to do something in beauty that changes the market. So this is a hair care brand that customizes products, a different approach. And like Costa Brazil, we think beauty is very natural. The more natural, the more confident, the more sexy. 

FC: How did you discover Costa Brazil?
CC: I've been a big fan of yours for a long time. I've been to your Calvin Klein shows. Costa Brazil’s products are excellent, so good in every way—the way it performs, the way it smells, the packaging. I love everything about it. 

FC: If the world ends tomorrow what would you do today?
CC: I would be with my family the whole day, and my dog. I would eat fries and have sex.

FC: Let’s play word association. Sun.
CC: Happiness.

FC: Car.
CC: No need for me. 

FC: City.
CC: Money.

FC: New York.
CC: Too busy.

FC: Pleasure. 
CC: Essential.

FC: Love.
CC: Divine.

FC: Flower.
CC: I love lilies. 

FC: Hair.
CC: It used to be blowdries. But now it's natural. I love to leave the house with my hair wet. And the way it dries is just free.

FC: Very Costa Brazil!
CC: Mmmhmm.

FC: Music.
CC: Everything. From funk to Bebel Gilberto bossa nova and Brazilian classics. 

FC: Balance.
CC: That's the hardest thing. I try to have offline moments. Plus exercise, for me, is non negotiable. It makes me feel good.

FC: Favorite Brazilian designer.
CC: Ah, Francisco. Who doesn't love Francisco?
