Colombiamoda 2014 was my fourth year attending Colombia’s Fashion Week, and my first time doing so with a press pass.
Runway shows at Colombiamoda are normally invite-only, but with the press pass, I was allowed to attend whichever I wanted.
Not only that, but the press, photographers and videographers had a separate queue and were given early access to choose seats (if they didn’t have already have one reserved), before the rest of the attendees were allowed in.
I discovered an affinity for attending the shows. Each was different and unique, with music carefully selected to fit the mood of the designs.
It may have been a shoe show, but the colorful dresses were what captured my eyePretty in purplePortuguese Shoes, “Designed by the Future”Men’s shoesLeonisa is a top Colombian lingerie company. Danish model Nina Agdal (seen here) was one of three models featured on the cover of the 2014 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit IssueThe Leonisa show was attended by Señorita Colombia and many top modelsDespite a fourth row center seat, the low lighting made it hard for me to capture the models clearlyMy best shot of the showThis lingerie I find ugly, but I love the feeling of motion in the photoLaura Tobon is a Colombian model and TV presenter. Laura and Nina were the stars of the show.Agua Bendita is a popular Colombian swimwear which has been represented by some of the world’s top modelsIn this show, I learned two things. Unless you’re VIP sitting in the front row, you’re better off in a higher position as it can be difficult to see from the second or third row.The second thing I learned is that swimwear shows have much more lighting than lingerie shows, making them easier to photographStudio F is another Colombian company specializing in women’s fashionKnown for their denim collections, Studio F also produces swimwearIzabel Goulart is a Brazilian supermodel and former Victoria’s Secret AngelIzabel was both the first and last to walk in the Studio F showShe was clearly the star of the show, and received a large round of applause as she walked off the runway
