Memoria
The collection is built around the idea of olfactory memory, understood as the capacity of aromas to activate memories and emotions stored in the subconscious.
Smell, one of the senses most directly connected to the amygdala and hippocampus—brain centers associated with emotion and memory—becomes the narrative axis of the project. Each garment incorporates fragrances microencapsulated in its fibers, allowing the aroma to be released gradually with movement and contact with the body.
Fashion killa
I believe in drawing inspiration from my experience and identity. Being Colombian has been one of the greatest pleasures of my life, but living and growing up in Colombia as a woman means experiencing gender-based violence on multiple levels on an ongoing basis. Every year, thousands of cases of physical, psychological, and sexual violence are reported, and the statistics on femicides and gender-based violence reveal an alarming trend. Beyond the numbers, this violence manifests itself in daily experiences: the fear of walking alone at night, the vulnerability on public transportation, or the constant need to carefully monitor one’s movements to avoid becoming a target.
Nighttime—traditionally associated with freedom, leisure, and personal expression—becomes, for many women, a space of constant alert. Going out dancing, returning home after a party, or simply moving around the city involves constantly negotiating with risk. These experiences are not exceptional; they are part of a reality shared by many Colombian women.
This collection is born from that tension: the contradiction between the desire to experience femininity freely and the constant need to protect oneself in an environment that still perpetuates gender violence. Instead of portraying women solely as victims, the project proposes an alternative narrative where femininity becomes a symbol of resistance, reaction, and control over one’s own body and space.
UNDER
UNDER offers a contemporary reinterpretation of The Little Mermaid, shifting the traditional narrative into a more ambiguous and emotionally complex realm. In this version, the mermaid is the one who rescues the prince from the sea, but this act of salvation is neither immediate nor unquestionable. The moment she holds him in her arms, a silent tension arises: to save him or let him sink.
Sagrado corazon
Being born and raised believing in a faith that was violently imposed on my country is one of the issues that most haunts my adult mind. I feel loved and protected by spiritual beings, and I constantly read that the reason they came to me is because my country was conquered. I try to find my culture separate from religion, but my culture as a Colombian is deeply Catholic.
