Summer may have come and gone, but the fashion
industry in Colombia kicked into high gear to bring the
world something new and fresh. Who said venturing
out of your local area wouldn’t be exciting. In one of
my travels this year to Colombia, a place filled with
passion. I’ve taken in one of its most talked about
business & fashion events running over five years
long, “The Ibagué Maquila and Fashion Show”, is one
of the main events of the fashion business in Colombia
each year.
Started back in 2009 to help entrepreneurs in the
industry to not only get started, but build and advance modernization within Colombia. Understanding
the explosive global economic market over the years;
the Ibagué Maquila and Fashion show was created to
showcase Colombia’s passion within the textile and apparel industry, on a local and global level.
