Here’s a boy who loves little cars, and can spend a lot of time playing with his huge collection. But Lautaro is also curious about what’s going on in his environment. He recently passed his first English exam; he was standard-bearer and won a history contest in school.
Two years younger than her brother, Madison is an artist, and also a very feminine girl. She spend hours painting with different materials over different surfaces (including furniture and walls!). She loves dressing up alone, choosing her own outfits and using many accessories.
Marcela, mother of the two, is a children’s fashion stylist and the director + audiovisual producer of Bajitos Magazine . Lucas, their father, is a photographer, a university teacher (he teaches History of Video Games; so cool) and a free lance translator for StyleSight.
