Camila Coelho has big news to share. The Brazilian fashion influencer-turned-designer is adding swimwear to her already popular namesake collection exclusively sold on Revolve. Though the Latina entrepreneur didn’t envision launching her new baby this way –from the comforts of her California home—it is still very much exciting, and we are counting down until the temperature is hot enough to wear them. As she remains home with her husband Icaro, we checked in to see how she is handling the coronavirus pandemic. “This experience has taught me to really appreciate the simpler things I have in life,” she tells HOLA! USA. “I’ve realized that I am happy just being home with my husband.”
As the entire world navigates through the current crisis, it’s important for Camila to also give back. For every purchase of her line on Revolve, $10 will go directly toward the site’s REVOLVE around our heroes GoFundMe initiative that is to help the procurement and donations of one million masks to healthcare workers and hospitals around the country. Camila Coelho Collection with other REVOLVE in-house designers are contributing an additional 10,000 FDA-approved surgical masks.

Message of hope for the future: My hope is that everyone can take this time to reflect on life, yourself as a human being and anything you would like to improve on and take those positive experiences with you into the future when this is all done.
