Distinctive silhouettes, ruffled skirts, chic prints and off-shoulder necklines. These have all come to define the art that this fashion designer creates, representative of her salsa roots.

Her solid hues and clean lines provide a feast for the eyes, and each of her pieces is handmade by local artisans in her hometown of Cartagena from eco-friendly materials.
