By This weekend was exciting and exhausting lol. One of the major events of the fashion industry in Nicaragua took place this past weekend: Nicaragua Diseña (ND) – a fashion show presenting a group of talented nicaraguan designers and their collections. I told you a little bit about this event on my post about Carlos Aleman – the fashion designer starring on my second edition of the dudes fashion section. His collection Folklora was just as I predicted and even better, in fact, all the designers did an amazing job with every single piece of cloth they worked on.
There were 15 nicaraguan and 2 argentinean fashion designers participating. Among them we have: Shantall Lacayo, Miguel Iriogoyen, Fernando Fuentes, Damaris Nuñez, Erick Bendaña, Conimoda, Vicente Castellon, Renato Javier, Soraya Membreño, Avant Garde and A group of new talents from Nicaragua, Juan Vitto and Maria Ines Sanchez from Argentina. All of them showing us how much talent Nicaragua has on the fashion industry.
Sara Galindo – Creator of Elle Mexico Diseña and considered one of the most important figures in the Latin American fashion Industry- was a special guest at ND 2014, providing a very interesting conference on the six commandments of Digital Fashion Marketing. During the runways, there was also a fair with stores selling nicaraguan products only, and obviously I needed to get my nica souvenirs lol.
For this event, I decided to go with a two-piece polka dot dress. Something that I loved about this dress was the high neck top because it makes the dress look different than other two-piece dresses similar to this style. I wore strappy leather heels that are so IN right now, and the best part is how comfy they are! If you are attending extended events you better go with comfy shoes. And finally, to complete my outfit I used a leather electric blue clutch made in Nicaragua. I thought this color would match better with my outfit and I definitely loved the outcome. I hope you guys liked this look and I invite you to come to ND next year because it gets so much better every year! Have an amazing monday 🙂
