Isabel Junot, known not only for her family ties but also as a participant in popular TV shows and an expert in mindful eating, has launched a new project. The marquesa de Cubas, in collaboration with the children’s brand Minicoton, has released a capsule collection of accessories, inspired by her personal experience after the birth of her daughter Philippa in June 2023.
The project, named after her daughter, brings together the three main areas of Junot’s life: family, fashion, and her work as a healthy lifestyle coach. The collection includes practical and stylish items for parents and babies, such as toiletry kits, stroller bags, swaddles, and bibs. The main idea was to create functional pieces that help maintain order in daily routines, while looking contemporary and original. Isabel personally selected the designs and prints.
According to Junot, motherhood opened up a new world for her and inspired this line. Her personal experience helped determine which items are truly essential amid the everyday chaos of diapers, wipes, and children’s snacks. She wanted to create pieces that are not only useful but also bring aesthetic pleasure to parents.
The design of the collection incorporates Isabel’s professional principles. She emphasizes that she promotes not just “healthy eating,” but healthy “relationships” with food. Some decorative elements, by her intention, symbolize self-care through pleasure, not through strict prohibitions and demands. This is a philosophy of eating for physical and mental well-being, without guilt.
The birth of her child, as Isabel admits, changed her outlook on many things. She reconsidered her approach to self-care, opting for respect, patience, and flexibility. Juno gave up self-criticism and rushing to achieve appearance-related goals. She believes it is important to set a good example for her daughter, showing that the body is not the most important thing about a person.
This experience also influenced her style, which became more practical without losing elegance. Moreover, she says that only after becoming a mother herself was she truly able to appreciate and understand her own mother, admiring her even more. The most valuable lesson she received from her mother and wants to pass on to her daughter is the ability to listen to her own maternal intuition.
Isabel Juno previously detailed her views on self-acceptance and resisting social pressure in her book “Eat Girl: De la obsesión a la ilusión.” She urges women to stop seeing food as the enemy and a source of stress, to compare themselves less to others, and to remember that enjoying food is an important act of self-care.
