A Simple Approach

Every year, during Fashion Week Honduras, there is a special guest, an international designer that usually closes up the entire event. Last Year we got to meet the unique: Agatha Ruiz De La Prada. The bubbly, colourful designer, who dashed us with her vibrant and graphic designs. This year we got another representative from Spain, as you may have guessed by now by the tittle of this post, I am talking of course, about the one and only: "Custo Barcelona" His birth name: Custodio Dalmau Salmon, AKA "Custo Barcelona" as his now global brand goes by, originated in Barcelona, Spain, after a 2 year, self discovery trip around the world with his brother David. Originally from Lleida, Spain, his career of choice was actually architecture, it was only after this journey that the designer started his fashion line as a complete amateur, without any background in fashion or design, only to grow to be one of the most acclaimed designers worldwide.

Kafati took us on a a glamorous, sophisticated, elegant show. Volume, ruffles, comfort fitted garments and elongated details in tailoring, make Kafati's collection a must on every fashionista wardrobe and a statement on the Honduran fashion archives.

"Oversized" has ruled the runways for the past few seasons in all the major design houses, and so has it "catched" over the street style over the world. For the third and final look for Fashion Week Honduras '17, I decided to put this trend to work (as I do must of the time). As I have expressed before, this combination of oversized elements and more fitted garments, has always been a "must" for me, and the fact that it is now a mayor trend is simply a plus.

Every beginning must meet and end sooner or later, and on Friday, September 29th, Fashion Week Honduras '17 meet it's conclusion. This, the most awaited day of all days, brought the finishing climax to this 10th year anniversary edition of BCFWH. On this very day, the audience got captivated by the intricate and colourful designs of non other then international designer "Custo Barcelona". His collection however, I'll be posting in a separate post as it is quite long, the designer had around 77 pieces to showcase, so, be on the lookout for that post. In the mean time the is plenty to review from this the third and final day. The "epilogue" day brought many interesting proposals from local designers like Mary Ann Kafati, Marie Bendeck and the now well known: Tirso Rubio, who opened up the show with his collection "El Color Del Silencio"

For the second day of Fashion Week Honduras '17, I partnered up with Distefano Shop and came up with look. A relaxed look with a statement jacket from their latest collection to put together and over all "clean" minimal outfit.

For the closure of Fashion Week honduras '17, Day two, local designer: Lawin Paz, gave a audience a peek into his personal life. "Villa Xerez" was the tittle for this, his latest collection. The name makes reference to a place from his childhood in his beloved place of origin "Choluteca", a place in the southern part of Honduras.

The first day of Fashion Week Honduras '17 started off with a bang!, and day two was only the continuation of the pyrotechnics. On Thursday September 28th, the shows kept going with great steadiness. The expectations were high and the reception welcoming. This second day was a kaleidoscopical array of fashion, passing on from one designer to the other. There were to segments for this day, one in the afternoon and the main event in the evening.  Let's take a look!

After every fashion show there is always (or almost always) a cocktail party, time to let loose and get some socialising going on. Tuesday, the very first day of Fashion Week Honduras, was no exception to this "rule". After the shows everyone gets to circle around, drink or appetiser in hand (or not) and mingle. Get to know the designers, the models and some other cool peeps. Nicole Corrales, Jerry Carcamo Here's a little photo gallery of this night for your "amusement":
