Inside Colombiamoda: Colombia’s Fashion Week in Medellin

The Davalos twins are two of Colombia’s most famous fashion models

Colombiamoda, Colombia’s annual fashion week, kicks off in Medellin next week.

Once again, the event will be held at Plaza Mayor, a short walk from the Alpujarra metro station. The 3-day event runs from July 24 – 26, and features designers from around Latin America, and the world.

Together with my friend Troy, I’ve attended Colombiamoda the last two years in order to bring you photos of the hottest Colombian models the country has to offer.

In this post, I’d like to share a little more about what you can expect to see if you pay the 80,000 COP ($45) for a 3-day pass to the public* exhibitions. For the fashionistas reading, or the curious tourists who’ve never attended a country’s fashion week, it’s an interesting event to consider.

OK, who am I kidding, I went to see the pretty girls both years. And I’m sure 99% of the men reading would be going for the same reason. Whatever your motivation, let’s take a look inside Colombiamoda.

* Most of the runway shows and after parties are invitation-only.
