Whether she’s walking the runway, working the turntables, or shining on set with rihanna, this cerulean-haired creative is making her mark. by simran hans.

Sita Abellan is Skyping me from an elevator. She’s on her way to get her nails done, but they look freshly manicured to me—long, silvery, shiny, and pointed, tipped with a fine glitter that gives them a mirror-like sparkle. When I point this out, she laughs. “My toenails,” she clarifies.

The 23-year-old DJ-model-designer grew up in Murcia, a small town in the south of Spain. She describes being a teenager there as “a little bit tough.” “I always liked to dress up—people looked at me as if I was crazy,” she says. Borrowing her mother’s vintage pieces and “wearing, all the time, black clothes,” she characterizes her younger self as “a bit of a goth.” Judging from the rainbow of sportswear on her Instagram, her wardrobe is less moody these days—but with her signature blue hair, diamanté S&M chokers, and fetish for patent leather, there’s still a trace of the cyberpunk teen she once was. Also, when our connection cuts out for a second, I notice she’s wearing a Slayer T-shirt in her profile picture.
