LA BELLEZA | THE BEAUTY

In 2019, during my second year studying fashion design, I was selected as the winner of Talento Joven (Young Talents), a competition sponsored by Inexmoda, which allowed me to present a fashion performance at Colombiamoda 2019, Colombia’s leading fashion week.

“Art does not pretend to transform the ugly into beautiful, but to represent it faithfully.” UMBERTO ECO

Error, the grotesque, and the costume find in this performance an opportunity to critically analyze fashion as a normative institution of taste, the construction of beauty, and its antagonist. The interest behind this collection is neither aesthetic nor technical — it is philosophical. In this project, I intentionally did everything wrong except for one thing: allowing every aesthetic and technical decision to align with the concept itself — a critique of good taste, inside Colombian Fashion Week.

MAKE UP

CAROLINA BUENO and johannes Uribe, WERE TWO OF THE SEVEN ARTISTS WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE. SHE CREATED THE FX MAKEUP FOR ORGANZA HISTERIA, THE DRAG QUEEN WHO OPENED THE SHOW.

Different silicone prosthetics were used to recreate skin imperfections on the models.

PROCESS

THE FX MAKEUP REQUIRED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME, PRECISION, AND EFFORT TO ACHIEVE A HIGHLY REALISTIC EFFECT.

Juan Cortés, a Colombian contemporary artist, composed the runway music. The soundtrack was designed to challenge the models by continuously altering the tempo throughout the show.

Gallery

This performance did not seek to highlight the garments themselves, but rather the idea behind them

3D Animation

Julián Angarita and Mario Carrascal created the animation that illustrated the different textures presented throughout the event, featuring human figures that continuously disfigured one another.

SCULPTURES

These ceramic pieces referred to good taste as a mutable and subjective construct, while simultaneously establishing a symbolic connection to the beauty found in the unexpected.
