- Pat Calica

She's a well-known actress, a convincing music artist, one of the top models in the country, and a member of the famed ‘It’ Girls. Her beginnings in show business is as a makeup artist to the stars whom she is now at par with. Solenn also dips her toes in fashion designing, painting, and entrepreneurship.

And for all these achievements and longevity in the entertainment industry, this awe-inspiring woman miraculously stays youthful in thinking and passion. She is the perfect cover for Speed’s 14 th anniversary issue because she embodies the magazine’s thirst for reinventing and adapting to change while remaining true to one’s self.

Of course, we can’t miss the chance to probe Solenn about her own style, lifestyle, hobbies, projects, and tech habits. Solenn likes everything straight up—whether in clothes, gadgets, or the things she does in life—but she also knows how to spice things up when it comes to food in her kitchen and paint on her hands.

SIMPLY SAVVY

Solenn likes her tech toys simple and easy to use. She may love it when new gadgets come out and is always amazed with new innovations, but Solenn prefers her everyday gadgets to be easy to use. Solenn loves to doodle on her smartphone during long taping hours. On her tablet, she watches movies, draws, and writes recipes.

How else do you use technology in your work?

Emails. I’m part of the group La Lola (Churros stores), and I’m sometimes the creative director for our ads. Sometimes, they send me a photo and I have an idea; I use my stylus pen to draw on it. I also sign my contracts on my phone. Sometimes, they need [a voice over] for a TV show that we forgot to [put a voice over on], so at the last minute, I record on my phone and email it to them, and they put it on TV.
