Siempre es difícil ser
el primero. Ya sea si somos los primeros en decir la charla en la escuela o el
primero en hacer algo nunca antes hecho;
imagínense ahora ser el desfile que abre la Semana de la Moda en Panamá.
Pero en este caso no
hubo nada de que preocuparse. La marca colombiana Leal Daccarett, fundada por
Karen Daccarett y Francisco Leal en el 2006 fueron los que abrieron los 3 días
más esperados por la industria de la moda de toda la región.
Con una colección que
nos trajo a la mente los sabores coloridos y jugosos de Suramérica mezclando lo
tradicional (bordados, trenzas en los cabellos, etc.) con la sofisticación
(telas estructuras, cinturones semi-escondidos trabajados en piedrería á la Raf
Simons para Dior) y las líneas exactas de vestidos de noche tenemos un buen
comienzo de FWPTY.
Y si ya me conocen saben
que una forma de ganarse mi corazón es con estampados y colores vibrantes, cosa
que fue justamente el statement de la colección y si le agregas que también era
la primera colección de zapatos de la marca terminamos con una ecuación que nos
asegura que ésta será la primera vez de muchas otras que leeremos de esta
pareja diseñadora.

It’s always hard to be the first one. The first one of
your friends to sing at the karaoke, the first one to ask a question at a
conference or the first one to take a chance, we get it, first times creep the
fuck out of people, but if we see it the way Leal Daccarett did we are bound to
a happy ending.
Leal Daccarett is a Colombian Brand founded in 2006 by
Francisco Leal & his wife Karen Daccarett after they returned from Milan,
where they attended Istituto Marangoni. They are now pretty well known designer
back home in Bogotá but it was time to go international.
With a collection that evoked the juicy & colorful
soul of South America they showed why Colombia is so respected in the region
& even though I would have loved a Panamanian designer to open Fashion Week
Panama I was very VERY pleased with the outcome.
Prints & colors are my thing and those were
exactly the statements Leal Daccarett sent down the runway; complemented with a
delicious use of embellishments (very Raf Simons for Dior) & fabrics that
added depth to the contrast of traditional (woven & hand crafted cotton)
and modern (crisp lined coats & jackets and sensual ruffles that gave the
perfect feminine touch to exquisitely hand-painted pencil skirts).
Another “first time” worth mentioning is that this was
also the first time the couple do shoes, which were a nice addition to the
collection since they were paired up with another key item that even I covet,
the earrings, earcuffs & bijoux. One thing we have to have certain is that
this is also the first time we hear from these to but definitely not the last
one ;)
