As a team we escaped with Lua to have adventures and make Medellín’s center our own. This fashion editorial is a collective abstraction of the Latin American aesthetics, specifically, is a fashion world’s abstraction of the of a city like Medellín where kitsch and folklore mixes together to create a very unique scene. This shoot allowed us to explore our own spaces in order to feel proud of what we are as Latinos and as Colombians.
