    BCAPITAL 2018 Fashion trends, forms of expression and setting – ups.

    Fashion trends, freshly produced ideas and creation methods merge with traditional aesthetic and crafting techniques on garment pieces.

    In Bogotá, the Colombian capital, a great diversity of fashion philosophies gathered on the occasion of BCapital 2018, event in which spectacular collections with autochthonous core and elaboration were displayed through handcrafted elements, striking patterns, unique crafted pieces and elements and the most recent fashion trends.

    This year, the Faenza theater, stage for film screenings, theatrical performances, concerts, recitals and social gatherings since 1924, was the place where the fashion runway shows took place, a significant location change from last year’s BCapital edition. By changing their location, both the fair and the fashion trends presented during the three–day event, gained greater visibility at a national and international level. The trend of rethinking and completely reinventing the catwalk staging as it has been done so far, exercise fostered and promoted by this new theatrical space, was clearly depicted in brands like Monse and Alexander Wang.

    Also, the initiative Mapa Teatro, – an ‘’artists laboratory dedicated to trans-disciplinary creation, based in Bogota since 1986 and a propitious space for transgressing geographic, linguistic and artistic boundaries, and for staging local and global issues through various “thought-montage” operations”-, was the space where the Chevignon brand, the Colombian multibrand store St.Dom and the three fashion trends accessories collections by Makis Medina, Lina Osorio Hats and Ana Laverde handbags, respectively (the three latter part of the Maestros Ancestrales project hand in hand with the fashion trends magazine, Fucsia) created more authentic connections with their customers.

    JORGE DUQUE

    ”Fashion is a manifesto of current events, it is a voice of everything you have learned and gathered during your life,” so each fashion collection has a narrative. Both inspiration outputs and fashion trends during the creative process come together into a unique perspective on design, and also influences the narrative behind the user. Colombian fashion designer Jorge Duque’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection, Misturas, was Bcapital 2018 opening catwalk inspired by the phenomenon of losing your DNA, where the focal elements such as graphics, fabric printing and the union of different genres gave life to innovative outfits.

    A NEW CROSS

    A New Cross, ”Colombian fashion brand driven by the idea of merging South American heritage through designs based on minimalism, fashion trends and functionalism. That’s why a constant research on local crafts is essential for the inspiration and materials for each collection.” During the second day of BCapital 2018 Nicolás Rivero, designer of the brand presented his collection ”What I did not knit ”, which was constructed on looks with elongated and loose silhouettes paying tribute to the weaves of artisans.
