Latinamerican Fall Codes.

Hace unos meses fuimos testigo de la presentación de varias colecciones de otoño-invierno 2016-17 que se crearon en las grandes capitales de la moda, cuando se trata de esta temporada es genial ver las piezas estilizadas en distintas capas, las telas mas acogedoras y generalmente una propuesta de color que se inclina hacia tonos más profundos.

Durante estas semanas de la moda y en meses posteriores también se presentan las lineas de otoño en varios países latinoamericanos, es por eso que decidí realizar una entrada con un preview de algunas de mis colecciones favoritas de varios países latinos ya que como siempre he dicho considero que hay mucho talento por estos lados. 

Lastimosamente en Panamá no tenemos otoño así que solo existe un evento grande al año y suele ser para las colecciones de primavera-verano, aunque algunos panameños invitados al extranjero si realizan lineas para la estación en cuestión. Espero que disfruten mis selecciones y pueden hacer click en el nombre de la marca/diseñador para ver la colección completa.

A few months ago we witnessed the presentation of several collections from the autumn-winter 2016-17 season that were created in the big fashion capitals, now when it comes to this particular season is great to see the pieces stylized in different layers, the more comfortable fabrics and generally a color palette which leans toward deeper richer tones.

During these fashion weeks and the months following fall lines were also presented in several Latin American countries, it is why I decided to make an entry with a preview of some of my favorite collections from several Latin countries because as I always say there is so much talent around here.

Unfortunately we do not have fall or winter in Panama so there is only one big event a year and it is usually for spring-summer collections, although some Panamanian invited as guests in foreign countries do make autum collections if the event calls for it. I hope you enjoy my selections and also you can click on the name of the brand / designer to see the complete collection.
