Beyond being just a brand, Anciela could be seen as a platform or an artistic collective. It is also a creative and social project since, through her recognisable designs, she reflects on the times we live in, making fashion a catharsis with which she vindicates her roots and pays tribute to the Colombian spirit. Having worked for world-renowned brands such as Viktor & Rolf and emerging projects in London, her current vision of fashion rests on intuition and emotion, having built a team with which she shares a common viewpoint. A much-needed sense of community in a city like London, where competitiveness in the fashion scene is a near-inevitable fact of life.
Having turned her fashion brand into a safe space based on mutual support and collaboration between Latin creatives, the designer questions preconceptions through fashion. She was inspired by Colombian funerary traditions in her latest collection, Nueve. We can't wait to see her new Spring Summer collection on September 20 at London Fashion Week.
