Who knows me can tell am not a contest girl. I don´t think you got
to compete with other people to realize that everybody got abilities and potential.
Your highest competition is always yourself.
Well... I got all
that clear in my mind but suddenly I watched this opportunity in the local
newspaper and decided to go for it! I wasn´t searching to win (even when it
wasn´t bad at all win, specially the big prize), but the intention to share my own
perspective in my field, show the way I see fashion and my esthetic.
An avalanche of
resort entered in my mind, I don´t know why or what actually happened but I
decided to do this two designs full of luxurious resort details such a cliché tropical
print detail and pajama silhouette. I enjoyed a lot the whole process and I was
pretty excited to join other designers into a unique show, organized by Prensa
Libre, the magazine “Amiga” and their sponsors.
At the end I was
surprised to be selected as the winner of the Pret-a-porter category. You know
is my favorite one! I love the pieces we can wear every day, something that
makes people look beautiful, comfortable, stylish and stand up as an individual
human. So yes, am very happy and especially thankful to Prensa Libre and “Amiga”
magazine and all the people who made this great experience possible.
I must say, congratulations to all the people
who got involved, especially al the contesters. I saw a lot of pretty things in
there; I think we got a brilliant future. In a country where fashion industry
is growing and is hard for new designers to make a secure place to stay and
show their designs, this is a great push to impulse the talent we got in
fashion as Guatemalans and raise the potential we got.
