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

I did not know carolina carolina lives

in boston we were friends on twitter

Carolina once wrote me I want the

skirt that you have only sell it in

that mall

You can buy it and send me August not

we knew each other we just connected in

social networks

carolina then they go Sunday an end of

week goes shopping in boston and I

I wrote I said see I’m going to go

outlets

If I see something that looks like you,

I buy

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

we tell each other stories from there

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 and is 6 and today today and smile

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

[Applause]
