Movement is key to fitness. Like, you can’t just sit still and expect abs. For SoFlo model Jessyka Castillo, moving is the key to her happy place … which is why she started the workout brand, Fitness + Financial Gains. Jess gave Deco the exclusive on her new summer collection.
Curvy model Jessyka Castillo wants you to…
Jessyka Castillo: “To move like your mental health depends on it. So move like your mental health depends on it.”
Moving is very important to this boss, so she created the Fitness + Financial Gains collection two years ago.
Jessyka Castillo: “So, when you’re a girl that’s a fuller size, it’s usually black designs, a bunch of logos, patterns, and I simply wanted to feel good as I was improving and working towards my mental health. Blue and yellow are the pop of color for the summer. My Summer Essentials collection is the basics. So you’re going to do white, nudes, browns.”
When it comes to Jessyka’s designs, size does matter.
Jessyka Castillo: “That’s what modeling – that’s what this whole journey has taught me, is that when we think inclusive, we also need to think about the petite, mature woman who doesn’t want to be shopping in the kids’ section, who wants the cutout pieces.”
Everyday life is also on her mind.
Jessyka Castillo: “Athleisure is activewear that can be worn leisurely as well. So think airport, shopping, dinner, workout. It was really hard to transition my day and also fit in a good workout, so I made that a point. When I do business events, I just put on a blazer, and you would never even notice.”
As for the material…
Jessyka Castillo: “There’s different material for each purpose. This one is more of an absorbent. The Royal Cobalt Blue is more like a swimwear. So very focused on it being sweat-resistant. I have to do stuff all day, so I’m constantly like, ‘I just need to be functional.'”
Fitness and Financial Gains is now available at MegaLit Studio in Miami.
