when they ask me why I like the
Fashion because I dedicated myself to fashion
I started to ask myself what to
look for an answer because it will be because
I am a journalist because I covered fairs of
fashion because I love dresses
because I love the colors and I started
to look in my story then
I found this picture of me one year old
only woman among five children four
brothers men of course I was the
perfect territory to play doll
to choose dresses and other
maybe it could have started and could
have started
here when I said that color
that sad face despite being smiling at
is wearing a jacket that
it seemed divine I did not look good not me
I looked happy but it really started here
with a mom who married pencil skirt
of stilettos and a divine blouse of
lace and he used a hairnet in the
expensive and today I still regret that already
I have not saved these pieces because I
I would be wearing the very proud
that’s where this story started
50 years
I also have another answer for that
besides the image of my parents when
they founded our family and it’s the
passions
one can give up everything in life –
to the passions and well said Juan Jose
campanela in the movie the secret of
his eyes
one can change everything but
passion
then in that process in that becoming
of my profession and my life
there was a lot of the question that I put
see see what I wear see I’ll go to
a special event and it was becoming
in a kind of personal brand and in
a kind of responsibility of
to be able to respond to those people who
I put and do it right
in that course we return to the cinema I
felt like the drummer of the
movie we term
I was 18 years old
work in a company worked 13 to 14
daily hours few weekends
free
Christmas did not know her as a family
in a newsroom and I felt
just as it is the drummer depends on me
that this is still so I follow
playing that battery and receiving those
answers or that I decide to build a
bridge and go out to source e
built for one year
I spoke to myself speaks to my
family and when I was ready
I decided to create a purpose I decided to make
of my life
a purpose and this is me today that’s my
smile
that’s my face today that’s what I do
that’s why I repeat so much I do what I
like
that’s why I repeat, I always chose myself
because this smile and that shine in the
eyes that I have today was for that
construction and for that decision that I
I wanted to take you here in this picture
You can see a portfolio of shoes
someone who likes fashion can
turn out to be natural in that blue portfolio
big
I see my pisces sign that I feel
very proud but I see carolina
carvajal

she found that wallet with my sign and
I brought her look at the size of the portfolio
He brought it from the United States packed
with filling and in the bag itself
store
you see there some leather stilettos
of leopard
I see some shoes that I bought myself
ever on a trip you public them in
social networks and started a lot of
leaves like me to say I want it what
I want what I want where he bought it
friend intervened the published publication
a leather picture of a body and said I
I have the skin
today he has sold more than 200 pairs of
shoes from that image that is
published on social networks is here in a
pair of beautiful long pretty boots
will reach to warn a few letters about
the leather
I see the story of a brand that
designed and created the colonel’s boots
when García Marquez turned 80
I wrote several brands to them
I was practicing as a journalist and I
I asked that we build allusive pieces
to García Marquez and his universe
she said the colonel’s boots do not have
who writes to you and on those boots is
written a love letter
I’m always looking for that
connection of that identity and without giving me
account
I was creating bridges I am a person to the
who loves to get laid off
love to get color and that sometimes
Believe Carrie Bradshow when you put a
tutu
then I have that little alter ego
inside me what happens when I get
a tutu I smile to me I shine
eyes
I feel different and it’s just one
garment an article of clothing
that was born with a utilitarian sense that
You can refer me to that first photo of the
one year old girl because it is a very
associated with the child universe but for
me a tutu is everything
jenni jenni is a psychologist company in
an advice at the beginning of the year
jenni is a plus size girl and
She came dressed as a boy jean tennis
shirt
that was his everyday wardrobe
because she did not feel safe with her figure
and he said this is what I find us
we went to a store
we are looking again for lines
to please your style and not
assault his personality
today I thank in this store not
we had guinness the likes of james
as I am so craving and as I am a
tutu girl
I went to the ground that skirt of pepes I
he wanted it for me then one starts to
try to translate the dreams and I that
jenny skirt tells you what if you
the tests are carried
in the locker room with that skirt and with a
shirt dress I retired from
dressing room to leave the one
already approved it quiet for
be serene because women
when we have doubts with our body
when we are insecure we want to be
calm go discovering solitates
if that goes well if it does not fit if we
it feels good when I thought about it
I started to hear some cries that came
of the bestial but some cries that each
time they were increasing the volume I left
running towards good it would be something happened
or he fell or did not like it or this is
awful you have to start over was
jenny that jumped that jumped
laps because I was happy with what
had discovered with her skirt type tube
she screamed and said I look like a
pretty girl
I never imagined that my figure
I could see well
I never thought I could wear a dress
that I could discover to explode
when we use for the final photo look
that he could not stand the urge to do
is deixi decided and is my friend we are
facebook friends we like

wrote one day per instagram and told me
I had two children very often
I’m overweight and my husband already
He gave a warning voice and told me
I want to see the cute old YSL
it is taken care of that it is vain
I want him to know and if he ‘s back
look at daisy’s face for peacock in
these images like when we were
trying to find your beige style and
He smiles please no way
be dressed in flowers
smile today is at 6 and until 6 and that
it was the message he wrote to me through
of the instagram account thanking me
look at the light in the eyes look at the
Smiles and look at Daisy when her
husband says beatriz 2 today daisy is
aware of his personal arrangement of
everything you can express through
the ones that it gets of all the light that already
has inside how happy it feels
that you are taking time to
She is 6 and today she is smiling.
one night
from Sunday to Sunday night they usually
be still calm sometimes half
bored trying to put a little
of encouragement to this Monday already imminent is
on twitter going on and on and we were
in the times of the peace process of
peace agreement and we all think of
different knowledge the political scientists the
analysts and others and we all wanted
do something and I asked myself and I threw it to
question way in a trill and I said
what can be done from the fashion that
we could do since fashion was a
simple question that came out on a Sunday
the night and in the course of those of
the following weeks it became
the meeting of different experts in
design in art in gastronomy and
it turned meeting that appeared a
work of art called love letters in
wartime a shirt that says
the world needs more love some shoes
whites a peace ring and it appeared
this piece with a trill of Sunday with
a question that was left to the air
appeared this piece you see a necklace a
three laps necklace
you are seeing bullets that do not
used in the Colombian armed conflict
and bullets that are joined through
pearls the pearls are happiness are
romantic are eternal and there those bullets
they join the pearls to tell us that
that is the fashion for peace and finally
ko this year is one hundred years of solitude
celebrated its 50th anniversary edition
like the 50 years of marriage of my
potatoes
there another project was born as a way
to pay tribute to a work
literary gio as a way to help
to create accessories but accessories that
they will talk about magic telling us that the
magic can not be lost tell us that the
smile can not leave us and that’s how
how my story started in that photo of
a marriage 50 years ago the same year
and the same month in which one hundred
years of loneliness
that leads me to say today 50 years later
that I do what I like
that there is always the right to live from the
magic those flowers are for me for daisy
for Jenny and for all the people who
we decided to say do what I
like
