Organized by CONAMYPE, the event offered a wide range of activities that drived creativity and innovation in the industry.
The event provided a platform for new fashion proposals, with catwalks where emerging designers and brands such as Wear lla, Brandon Valencia and Claudia Rodas participated.
The talks were one of the stronger points of the day, including "the art and design business," "brand image, digital marketing and social networks" and "sustainable fashion." Valentina Suárezdirector of Universo MOLA, actively participated in the latter, along with Melissa Melara and Leyla Murillo of Simple Twist, and Krisma Mancia from Krismatica, sharing their perspectives on the present and future of fashion with environmental awareness.
