Sita Abellán, model: "I didn't want to stop being myself during pregnancy"

S

It is unique and probably unrepeatable.

A model almost always on the margins of the 'mainstream' who defends her own style with the same claw with which she defends the style of music that she has been practicing for years in her DJ sets, techno.

During her pregnancy she has not given up modeling or beats and if at this point, having crossed the barrier of eight months of gestation, she has dropped a little in revolutions, it is because the travel bumps that usually make up her daily life are already quite contraindicated .

But we have seen her climb extreme platforms, naked or wrapped in the most spectacular clothes, in photos that make it very clear, like her penultimate Instagram post, what her perspective on life is: "I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for what I am not.

she makes it very clear throughout our talk.

How are you?

We follow you on Instagram and we see a very advanced pregnancy, but you haven't stopped making fashion productions...I'm eight months old now, more and more tired, but for now I haven't stopped.

I have not wanted to stop.

In fact, from the beginning I decided not to do it until my body told me to 'stop'. We recently talked in Yo Dona about the social impact that Rihanna's pregnancy could have, beyond the anecdote, and how we had gone from hiding the bellies to show pregnant bodies as proud, sexualized bodies, with erotic qualities, among many other things.

And we talked about how your case was very similar. Well, I think what has happened is that I haven't stopped being myself.

I am very thin and the physical change has been enormous,

But from the beginning I was very clear that I was not going to change my way of dressing or my way of being.

It is true that if people already looked at me a lot before, now they have done it much more.

But that's it. I suppose that no matter how much you haven't put your professional life on hold during your pregnancy, there are things that you have had to forcefully put aside... I've said no to things because at a certain point I couldn't travel like I used to, but the The truth is that I've worked a lot during my pregnancy, I've done productions, the cover of 'Numéro' magazine... This year I didn't go to 'fashion week', I didn't want to make it public yet, so I went to Los Angeles in February and March.

So, as far as it goes, you've had a bearable pregnancy... Yes, the first few months were great, after the initial shock.

And as a woman she has been mentally very empowering. On April 24 we saw you shopping with Rihanna in a department store in a very funny photo, both of them equally pregnant, that you posted on your Instagram account.

Was it a casual meeting? No, we met to go shopping.

We hadn't seen each other for a couple of years because of the pandemic and since I went to Los Angeles for a month I called her, told her I was pregnant and said: "Let's go buy baby things together!" Did you buy something interesting? Well, the truth is that no.

Your pregnancy has been a non-stop, how do you plan the postpartum? From the outset I have not postponed anything.

I don't know the due date, but the second week of June I already have a job.

I didn't want to cancel anything.

I always have in mind one thing that my mother told me...: "Three days after giving birth, she was already working."

Well, more or less.

I have a festival in Madrid, and on June 18, coinciding with Sónar, I throw a party in Barcelona, ​​I also have a collaboration underway on a theme of jewelry and more projects that I still can't talk about... You come back eagerly your facet of dj. In reality I have not left it.

Or at least not because of the pregnancy.

I was affected, like the entire clubbing world, by the pandemic, but as soon as the topic was reactivated, I went back to DJing.

Without going any further, last week I played in Rome.

This year I'm not playing at Sónar,

but I organize the 'Outopía' party at the Input club in Barcelona.

All women DJing.

I feel like it very much. And regarding work, you who don't stop traveling, have you considered how you are going to face the new situation with the baby? I want the baby to come with me everywhere for the first three years.

That's my idea one hundred percent.

You have lived in Barcelona for three years.

Why did you come? I lived in Milan for four years and then I went to London for another four.

Although the truth is that living what is said to be living did not live long, because I spent all my time traveling.

Until the lockdown.

I like London for the cultural atmosphere, for everything that happens there... but the truth is that it is a very dark city, the food is not very good (and both things, light and food, are important to me) ,

It took an hour and a half from my house to the airport... The truth is that it is a very uncomfortable city.

I had been fantasizing about coming to Spain for a while and finally I did.

I chose Barcelona because I am close to the sea and the mountains.

In fact, I don't live downtown at all.

It is a place that mentally makes me feel very good.
