Kristen should be so lucky!

GiSHUEM + ESCARLATA
Kristen should be so lucky!


Me pregunto si esa sensación de orgullo por ver el logro de uno de tus amigos, es lo mismo que siente un padre al ver a sus hijos alcanzar el éxito.Y es que, la primera reacción al ver la nueva colaboración de los chicos de Escarlata junto a GUISHEM fue exactamente esa, orgullo por verlo mucho que han ido creciendo, mejorando y sobre todo experimentando mientras su carrera como diseñadores de joyas va viendo en popa.
José, Cristina y Edgar... una vez más ¡Felicitaciones!

A toast for Guille!

A TOAST FOR GUILLE!
GUISHEM by Guillermo Jop



My dear friend Carmela Enriquez, invited me to celebrate the career of Guillermo Jop, head designer of  GUISHEM Couture at the very new Design Center Gallery (Guatemala City). Of course, I couldn't miss such a special toast dedicated to one of our most successful guatemalan designers/ friends.


Mi queridísima amiga Carmela Enriquez me invitó a la inauguración y vino de honor de la expo de Guillermo Jop, director creativo de GUISHEM Couture, para celebrar su carrera como diseñador de moda en la nueva galería de Design Center. Por supuesto, no podía faltar a este evento dedicado a uno de nuestros más grandes y mejores diseñadores guatemaltecos/amigo.



A very cool display, featuring some of his more memorable designs, which I recognized specially because of the last editorial I worked with Merce Molina for Look Magazine summer edition (To chek the post click here). 

Un display bastante cool de los diseños más destacados de Guillermo formaban parte de la expo, de los cuales reconocí algunos porque formaron parte del styling que estuve trabajando junto a Merce Molina para la edición de verano de Look Magazine (Para ver el post click  here )



All in all, the dress everybody was talking about was the one worn by Kristen Stewart in the british Glamour Mag. Beautiful... simply beautiful! (sorry for the bad quality of the photo... blame the wine!)


El gran protagonista de la noche, fue el vestido usado por Kristen Stewart para la portada y editorial de la revista británica Glamour... simplemente espectacular! (perdón por la mala resolución de la foto, la culpa la tiene el vino!)



Also, the expo was a great oportunity to catch up with old friends... specially with my beloved Ana Karen Bathen, it girl/designer of Esperanza NYC, who is now living in México DF working as PR & Stylist... which means: mexican fellows, beware of this fantastic girl! 
So... in other news, I'm having a cool interview for FASH Gt Magazine next week, also I'm coaching the CMGT Models School... which gets me completely anxious! I'm definitely keeping you guys updated with all that!


También, la expo fué una oportunidad para ponerme al día con viejos amigos... especialmente con mi queridísima Ana Karen Bathen, it girl/diseñadora de Esperanza NYC, que por ahora se mudó a vivir México DF, ya que está trabajando como PR y Stylist con algunas firmas, lo que significa... amigos mexicanos, cuídense de esta chava fenomenal!
En otras noticias, les comento que la próxima semana tendré una entrevista y colaboración para Fash Gt Magazine, también estaré supervisando la escuela de modelos CMGT, que me tiene super ansioso! Definitivamente les voy a tener al tanto de lo que este pasando!

Let them eat Tate!

LET THEM EAT TATE!
From Manchester: Kris Tate


Sometimes when I feel a little bit down... I think about my friends and feel proud of them. In this case, Kris Tate came to my mind, not just because of the party animals we are, but because of the hard work she has been doing in Manchester, reporting the coolest underground parties for the blog (click here), and her very well know and recognized work as an illustrator and designer, getting juicy contracts with Urban Outfitters, Ohhdeer.com, MödernNaked from Spain and stores from Brazil  to sell her work.
A couple of months ago, I interviewd her (which was more like a Facebook chat) for Estilosaul.com (to read the note click here, its in spanish) and honestly, she is kicking some asses in the UK! Since she was featured in the very exclusive site Stylesight as a graphic trend for juniors... I'm so proud of my girl more than ever!

 Kris... come ASAP! We have some Supervixen parties to plan!

Kristen Stewart wearing GUISHEM

Last thursday I had a meeting with hmm... lets say, some of the top designers, bloggers, fashion editors, media people and PR's from Guatemala city. BIG NEWS ARE COMING... Stay tuned!!!
After the meeting, I had a little chat with Guillermo Jop, GUISHEM Designer, who presented his last S/S 2012 RTW collection during the New Yok Fashion Week.
I get really exited everytime I heard some of my people get into the NYFW, the more guatemalan designers present overseas, I get close to meet Andre Leon or Anna Wintour... in a manner of speak haha! The thing is that Guillermo is going up, Glamour Magazine UK is featuring Kristen Stewart wearing GUISHEM on the cover of the december issue.... how cool is that?

ANELLI RODRIGUEZ @ PASARELLA 100% GUATE

Recently...Anelli Rodriguez presented her last collection for women at the anual UNIS fashion show. At the runway... known faces like Stefanía de Ros were modeling the garments for Anelli, making the show quite vivacious... not to mentions the palette of colours, very tropical tones unified with neutral colors and beautiful details. I'm happy to call her my friend... I'm feeling lucky to have a such creative girl friend! Bravo Anelli!

Shine Quetzal!... and Fly above the Sky



Related to the previous post.. I'm proud to say that Luis Quintana, Estilo Quetzal's designer has achieved a well deserved fame for his innovation mixing fashion with high handcrafted products.
He was invited by "Amiga", to show his collection, not only for being good, but for being great!
Shine Quetzal... and fly above the Sky!

HAPPY BDAY AMIGA MAGAZINE

If guatemalan women (why not to say latin women too) have been influenced and developed an identity... It has been by Amiga Magazine, by Prensa Libre.
Displaying the most important and influential women around the country and the world, the magazine is a window to see what the women's world is like...
Fashion, as they say, is the most readed section of the magazine... creating a big change in women's wardrobe....
Celebrating the 20 years bringing to the world the most talented women... the magazine made a casting of fashion designers, to show some of their work... displaying 40 new young talented designers... the first thing i thought was.. WOW!
I'm so happy for it, that proves there is so much talent around...
Here a sample:





Great!...
