Atavíos: The Roots of Colombian Fashion

Unusual, bold, provocative. Such could be the definition of this book that Villegas Editores chose to mark its first hundred productions. By means of uniquely dressed models, the artist Nacho Marín takes up here ancient cultural manifestations of Colombia and, based on them, proposes a fresh and imaginative ethnic form of adornment and dress, a fashion made of those garments and ornaments that bear the stamp of our rich cultural repertoire, including daring contemporary creations that are also inspired by those common origins.

Ultimately, the sumptuous vision of race offered here alludes to the strength of pre-Columbian identity, the delicacy of indigenous elements, the enriching phenomenon of miscegenation and the inspired creativity of the contemporary.
