According to local media reports, Cristina, the daughter of former Spanish soccer player Nacho Pérez, was found deceased at her home in Málaga on February 3rd. The cause of death is believed to be natural, a fact that has sparked debate and speculation.

From there, she went on to conquer catwalks in major fashion capitals like Madrid, Milan, Paris, London, and even China. Her talent and presence were recognized and celebrated by industry professionals and fans alike.
"Her sweetness, professionalism, and unique ability to bring designs to life will be sorely missed," renowned Spanish hairdresser Manuel Mon wrote in an Instagram tribute. "Cristina's energy and humanity will forever be etched in our memories."
And this is the part most people miss: Cristina's impact extended beyond the runway. She was a beloved member of the fashion community, leaving a lasting impression on those she worked with. The organizers of the Campoamor Fashion Show paid their respects on social media, sharing a heartfelt tribute and a video of Cristina in action.
