Vogue's Images
By surfing the web, sometimes you find suprising details published way after they've been done.
Some people close to me had mentioned that they had seen images from Miami Fashion Week in Europe but then I never got to see the magazine.
All of a sudden, last weekend, I got to see some of the images published in Vogue (Spanish). Amazingly enough, there were some of my favorite pieces there and this is when I decided to add this comment to my blog.
Thanks Vogue!

Artist at Heart
Cecilia Perez is an avant-garde Colombian designer in the Fashion World. Her career started twenty-two (22) years ago as an Haute Couture Designer.
Her mother impregnated her with the love for seam since she was a little girl growing an interest towards French couture in diverse areas such as patronage, textures and finishes. However; her licentiate studies were with a Plastic Arts Major where she shared vital remembrances with known professors in the field.
Art is the thriving blood that expands in her veins thanks to her father. Thus, Fashion Design emerged naturally and today, each of her Haute Couture pieces are unique with harmony and balance embellishments with the use of embroideries and muslin.
Even though she has maintained a low profile, Cecilia’s clientele has grown abroad due to its aloof and chic demand. Celebrities from Colombia and neighboring countries have fell in love with the impeccable taste of this Designer.
She has participated in several Fashion Shows in the last year. Miami Fashion Week 2006 launched her international exposure. The event took place on opening night and 48 pieces captivated audiences from around the world and the press.
On September, 2006, Cecilia Perez participated in Dubai, Arab Emirates leaving a strong footprint in this market.
Fort D’France (Martinique Fashion Week) was the next runway where she shared designs with colleagues such as Lorenzo Merlino, J’Doucet and Mohammed Daugher among others. She was awarded the recognition of “Best Designer”.
For the current year, 2007, she will participate in several events. Miami Fashion Week in April is a runway she wants to repeat. Other catwalk that will show off Cecilia Perez glamour will take place in Coral Gables, FL. New York will be an additional scenario visited by the Designer with her Haute Couture pieces.
“I don’t consider myself a designer but an artist with a muse playing a harp within my soul allowing me to share with others their most beautiful moments transformed into an exclusive and unforgettable design. I want to thank each and every one of the people that have given me the opportunity to be an active part of their dreams positively impacting my life.” Cecilia Perez

Cecilia Perez va al Miami Fashion Week en el 2006
En Mayo del 2006, Cecilia Perez hizo su aparicion por primera vez en el Miami Fashion Week. A pesar de llevar 22 anos en esta labor, no se habia internacionalizado hasta el ano pasado.
El titulo de su coleccion: "My Heritage" lo cual traduce Mi Herencia. La razon para dicho titulo es que la coleccion es una cadena de herencias. El arte y el gusto por lo fino heredado de su padre y la labor manual de costura aprendida de su madre. Siempre sus padres supieron fomentar la creatividad y tuvo la oportunidad de asistir a clases de arte desde pequena.
El Miami Fashion Week la lanzo internacionalmente y repetira este evento en el 2007.

Trends
To talk about fashion trends is a difficult subject, you could say these depend more on the woman that wears it than of a season.
Simplicity is always in! Simplicity is a leader, elegance becomes the follower.
When would you wear this dress? Can you define a season for it? Probably not.
It can be well worn everyday or every night, depending on the occassion and how the woman carries on with it.

Cecilia Perez - Biografia
Cecilia Pérez, es una diseñadora Colombiana, que ha marcado pauta en el mundo de la moda. Veintidos (22) años atrás inicio su carrera en diseño de “Alta Costura”.
Su madre, amante a la costura, le inculco la importancia de esta guiando a Cecilia desde niña a conocer de corte, patronaje, tejidos y terminados de alta costura francesa. Sin embargo, sus estudios primaron como artista plástico, ya que es licenciada en Bellas Artes y estudio con profesores destacados en este campo dentro de su país de origen.
El arte lo lleva en la venas heredado de su padre.
Lo anterior la llevo a diseñar sus propios trajes, combinando estos dos elementos, asi nació la iniciativa de diseñar para otros.
Hoy por hoy, sus piezas son de" Alta Costura" únicas y exclusivas. No se permite repetir modelo alguno, cada pieza combina: equilibrio, armonía, texturas, haciendo de ellas un diseño exclusivo, donde su enfoque y pasiones son delicadamente transmitido a traves de estos, combinando diferentes tipos de telas y texturas, destacándose como su preferencia encajes y muselinas".
“No me considero una diseñadora, sino una artista con un arpa cuyas cuerdas entonan una musa en mi alma, necesarias de plasmar que me permiten compartir con los demás sus mas hermosos momentos, haciendo cada diseño exclusivo e inolvidable, entregando en ellos consagración y amor”. Quiero agradecer a todas y cada una de las personas que me han elevado con sus sueños y eventos significativos pues han sido tan importantes para cada uno de ellos como para mí. Espero continuar cumpliendo a carta cabal con dichas personas ya que me han entregado su corazón".Pienso que sin amor, no hay nada". Cecilia Pérez.
La moda para Cecilia Pérez ha sido una vena que se ha desprendido del mundo artístico en el cual ha vivido sumida en su mente y espíritu desde que tiene uso de razón. Cecilia Pérez, una diseñadora de bajo perfil que ha desarrollado su carrera en Colombia, no ha pasado indiferente ante los ojos más exigentes cuando de lucir impecable se trata. Famosos y personalidades de la elite Colombiana y países vecinos y extranjeros, han confiado en el gusto y profesionalismo de la diseñadora.
Gracias a este reconocimiento fue invitada a participar en el Miami Fashion Week en Mayo del 2006 con una pasarela individual de 48 prendas , todas de Alta Costura que cautivaron a los comentaristas, prensa y comerciantes, de diferentes partes del mundo, obteniendo invitaciones a diferentes e importantes pasarelas.
Participo en el mes de Spbre en Dubai, Emiratos Arabes , dejando alli un gran reconocimiento y dando sus primeros pasos en dicho mercado,recibiendo propuestas para posesionarse alli con un perfil V.I.P. en dicha ciudad y sus alrededores.
Luego sin descanso alguno fue invitada a Fort D´France departiendo con otros diseñadores tales como Lorenzo Merlino, J´Doucet, Mohamed Daugher; entre otros , obteniendo el unico galardon alli otorgado:"Mejor Diseñador".
No dejare la parte artística, pues hace parte de mi vida, desde que nací: comenta ella.
En su agenda del año 2007,cuenta con proyectos tales como: participar en el Miami Fashion Week nuevamente, presentar una coleccion en Nueva York y hacer un desfile en Coral Gables , Florida.

Artistic Fashion
Haute Couture is an art. Haute Couture is a French phrase for high fashion. Couture means dressmaking, sewing, or needlework and haute means elegant or high, so the two combined imply excellent artistry with the fashioning of garments.
The fabrics available to a couture house are very luxurious and include novelty fabrics and expensive silks, fine wools, cashmeres, cottons, linens, leather, suede, other skins or furs. In the case of a famous design house the design and color of a cloth, can be exclusively reserved for that couture house.
Cecilia Perez says: "Fashion has been a vein that has branched off from the artistic world I've been submerged to in my mind and spirit since I have use of reasoning."
