ReflejosDelCaribe
Reflejos del Caribe is an original design collection focused on swimwear and formalwear for the spring-summer 2024 season. Inspired by the “sea of seven colors” in San Andrés, the proposal seeks to capture the iconic color transitions of the ocean through the versatility of its garments. The chosen theme, “Beach Gala” merges traditional beachwear with more elegant contexts such as weddings or cocktail events. The textiles were carefully selected to ensure both the functionality required for swimwear and the elegance expected for formal ocasión. In addition, the collection incorporates handcrafted accessories made with crochet techniques and had embroidery using crystals, adding artisanal detail and uniqueness to each piece.

Concept
This collection draws from the rich symbolism and architecture of Wat temples, merging Buddhist architectural elements with the functionality and sophistication of modern officewear, adapted to the urban lifestyle of Bogotá. Design details will highlight *repetition modules, layered silhouettes, and illustrated prints that capture the spiritual iconography of the temples. Golden accents—reminiscent of temple ornamentation-will be used throughout, evoking their opulence and refined aesthetic. The result is a fusion of comfort and elegance that reimagines the classics, offering a perfect balance for a unique, contemporary form of personal expression.

Color transitions
The color transitions of the sea have been taken as a metaphor to express the adaptability and versatility of garments, echoing the fluidity and transformation of marine hues.
Crystal Waters
The textile selection was inspired by the crystal-clear waters and their interaction with sunlight, which creates a distinctive brilliance. Materials such as organza, Chantilly lace, chiffon, and crystal embellishments were chosen to replicate this natural luminosity.
Sand
The use of Chantilly lace was inspired by the texture and patterns of the sand found on the shores of the Sea of Seven Colors. Its flowing yet textured design echoes this signature element of the Caribbean landscape.
