A Simple Approach

Jerry Carcamo was the second show during day one of "Estilo Moda" '17. This collection, titled by the designer as: "Lupe", was as I see it, the reinvention of the conventional clothing. With both asymmetrical and symmetrical and oval cuts and shapes and drapery, Carcamo's collection was not one to be missed, the minimal approach from the tailoring, fit and cuts was perfectly contrasted with printed and plush - terrycloth fabrics and the use non conventional fabrics, like neoprene.

For the first day of "Estilo Moda"  '17, I once again partnered up with Distefano Shop. This time I wanted to fully embrace the brand's campaign concept, and apply it to my sense of style. Although still very simple and minimal, like I usually dress, this look was a bit more of a "step out of my comfort zone", I played a little more then usual with details and elements then what I normally do with my outfits.

Hello Sappers! we meet again, this time I have a lot coming your way. This past few days have been very cramped and I hadn't had the time to publish anything on the blog, but I'm catching up, and I really do have lots to tell you about. First and foremost, of course, we'll talk about "Estilo Moda"'17. Estilo Moda '17 took place this past October, two days, where the best of the Honduran fashion was showcased in all it's magnificent splendor. Hosted by "Estilo" Magazine at the "Honduras Maya" Hotel convention center and produced by "Crea Moda", Estilo Moda was a huge success from beginning to end. There is a lot to cover, so I decided to do individual posts about every collection showcased during "Estilo Moda" '17.  This year was the second edition of "Estilo Moda" and the expectations were high, and on every turn, every expectation was surpassed. The organisation was in charge of "Crea...

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"
