Holy Cutarras



Esta semana celebramos la Semana Mayor, o mejor dicho Semana Santa –estaba tratando de no escribir tanto “Semana” en la misma oración pero al final creo que no lo logré. Mucho van a ir a la playa (cuidado que se convierten en pescado), otros al campo/montaña (no se suban en árboles que se convierten en mono), y otros, como yo, nos quedaremos en la ciudad a disfrutar de las calles libres de tranque y de todos los episodios de las series de televisión que nos quedan pendientes (Empire, I’m talking ‘bout you).

Pero antes que se desconecten quería compartirles un regalito que me llegó a la oficina esta semana (alguien por favor me mande un sinónimo de esta palabra) de parte de Santé Cutarras, una iniciativa de una querida amiga, Nayleen Quintero. Para los que no saben, las cutarras son el calzado de cuero tradicional de los panameños, es muy utilizado en el interior del país pero también es aplicable para cualquier lugar del mundo, son comodísimas y hechas a la medida, llamémoslas Panamanian Haute Couture.

Aquí les va un look bien descomplicado para estos días de descanso, y si les da calor simplemente quítense el pullover. No se olviden de seguir a las Santé Cutarras en Instagram (@san7eCutarras), y únanse a este movimiento de traer la tradición a la evolución :D




Holy Week is for calming, soothing and laid back style. Whether you’re going to the beach, the countryside or you’re gonna stay in the city, try to keep it simple and with no fuzz. That’s why I want to share with you an I’m-just-gonna-lay-in-the-couch-and-binge-watch-all-my-shows look (Empire, I’m talking about you honey), featuring a very special gift I was given this past week: a pair of cutarras. For those of you who do not know, a cutarra is the Panamanian leather sandal of excellence, very traditional, it is often seen being worn by the people in who live in the Central Provinces (Veraguas, Coclé, Herrera, etc.), made to measure I think it’s safe to call it Panamanian Haute Couture. They are incredibly comfortable and easy to put on, just in case something bumpy happens.

The great thing is that Santé Cutarras, a little company started by a dear friend, has started an initiative to re-invent these traditional sandals and bring them to the young folks.


With that being said, have a happy Holy Week, try to rest and renew yourself, just as the outfit, with “no fuzz”. Oh, and don’t forget to follow Santé Cutarras on Instagram (@San7eCutarras).

There’s probable just one way to know if you are a heavyweight in the world of fashion. An invitation to the Met Gala it is. Last year we celebrated the Savage Beauty of the work of one of the biggest geniuses we’ve had in fashion, Lee McQueen.

2012 was a year of the female power. The queens of the exhibition are Elsa Schiaparelli & Miuccia Prada, two individuals that shared two obsessions, beauty & how it impacted the lives of women.

As you may know, the Met Gala is like the best night in all of the fashion calendar, here you HAVE to dare to really have fun with the clothes since it’s such a magical night.

So, I decided to organize a boxing match between two trends that were seen last night, it’s up to you to choose the winner! In the left corner we have The Golden Girls, leaded by the woman of the night, Miuccia Prada, followed by Carey Mulligan in custom made Prada, Mad Men’s new gal pal Jessica Pare, Bianca Brandolini, Donatella “va-va-voom” Versace, BG’s Linda Fargo in personalized Naeen Khan, Leighton Meester in Marchesa, DRee Hemingway in Topshop & whole battalion of golden sirens.

On the other corner we have The Exhibitionists Black Dahlias whose leader is none other than Uncle Marc, Marion Cotillard & The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara, followed by Beyonce, Renee Zelllweger in Emilio Pucci, Chloe Sevigny in Miu Miu, Vogue’s former fashion news editor Sally Singer in Nina Ricci.

There were also girls that were in the audience, watching the match but obviously in synch with some ongoing trends. Peplum Gals: Elizabeth Banks in Mary Katrantzou (do not try that at home), Eva Mendes in Prada, Diana Agron in Carolina Herrera, Solange Knowles in Rachel Roy, Emma Roberts in Escada, January Jones in Atelier Versace, Sofia Vergara in Marchesa & last but not least, Jessica Stam in Dior.


Finally, there is the 5KM Legs Team. While Angelina is busy arranging her wedding these girls are disrupting public order by showing those impressive legs (& in one case, much more). Anja Rubik took the thing to the extreme in Anthony Vaccarello, one of the Clarins girls in Mugler, Jenna Courtin-Clarins, Liv Tyler in Givenchy, Lea Michele in DVF, Elettra Wiedemann in Sophie Theallet, Carine Roitfeld in Givenchy Couture & last but def not least, red carper queen, Gisele Bundchen.


So, in your opinion, which team was really feeling the Met Gala?
