In the bathroom of Colombe, founder of Call it by your Name
In the bathroom of Colombe, founder of the iconic Call it by your name brand of bandanas (designed, made and embroidered by hand), which we love!
Who are you, Dove?
I'm a designer and I've been working in the fashion industry for over 20 years. I am the founder of Call It By Your Namea brand that revisits craftsmanship through the American bandana and hand embroidery.
What inspires you?
I'm passionate about local craftsmanship, and it's one of the first things I look for when I travel to a new country or city. The bandana is one of them: it was created in India, but arrived in the United States almost a century ago, and since then has survived the decades by still being handcrafted. I also love this accessory because it's timeless, classic and, above all, transgenerational: it looks just as good on a child as it does on an older person! They're also objects that are passed down from mother to daughter.
And what about make-up?
For make-up, I never use a lot of make-up, rarely anyway, and I like to have the most natural effect possible. I use Super Serum Skin Tint SPF30 Ilia and then the Concealer Oh My Cream Skincare which is really the product I'd want to have if I were stranded on a desert island... I use it under the eyes to conceal dark circles, around the nose, where I have a little redness. For blush, I have two that I love. The Bisou Blush Violette_FR in Inès shade, it's a pinkish shade that doesn't suit me so well in winter. The one I use all year round and really like is the At Last shade of the Multi Stick Ilia.
People who know me know that eyebrows are important to me. They're very light, so I only apply the Eyebrow Fixing Gel Oh My Cream Skincare, which is transparent. And the last thing I do that I don't do every day is mascara. I use Limitless Lash Ilia mascara and I only apply it to my upper lashes.
