Mar takes in the waters at Los Guayabos, the intentional eco-community where she lives outside Guadalajara, Mexico
Photographed by Santiaga Sierra Soler, Vogue, June/July 2022.
SOMETHING WILD
Los Guayabos was established by six intrepid families just over 40 years ago. “It’s easier to achieve change and to come up with solutions together, collectively,” says Mar—here with her faithful husky, Lana—describing its hardy and principled ethos.

ROCK STEADY
When she began taking modeling seriously two years ago, Mar wasn’t sure what kind of characters she’d meet. Happily, she found that “there are so many people who want to do things differently, so many creatives with so much love to share.” Mara Hoffman briefs; marahoffman.com.
FLORAL NOTES
As a beautifully embroidered Bode jacket (bodenewyork.com for similar styles) proves, nothing cheers the spirit quite like a bit of flower power.
TAKE YOUR PICK
A student of community nutrition, Mar grows her own food in Los Guayabos—naturally. “The iron in our blood, the sulfur in our nails, the calcium in our bones,” she says, “all this is given from the ground.” Chloé dress; chloe.com.
