July Recap: Colombian designers showcase their latest collections
The Etsy Mexican designer and other news.
A little late, but here’s July’s recap of some Latin fashion news.
Firstly, let’s talk about Colombiamoda by Inexmoda, held at the end of July – a highly important and massive fashion fair in Colombia. This event includes several runway shows and had a staggering attendance of 70,000 people this edition.
While Bogotá Fashion Week takes place in the capital, Colombiamoda is hosted in Medellín.
I will be showcasing some designers that caught my eye and found interesting. However, this is not a comprehensive rundown of everything, since I was not physically there to cover it.
At the bottom, I’ll share a couple of Latin fashion news highlights from last month.
