From his apartment in New York City, Kika spoke by telephone with People magazine Caribbean HERALD.
With a leisurely spoken and almost without rolo accent acknowledges that when it comes to talk of fashion in our country, the coast is possessed of all the talent and inspiration to create trend, which appreciates very well this fashionista Bogota.
His 20 years of experience in major catwalks, red carpets, as an editor and critical fashion and beauty have not been enough to satisfy their Kika learning industry that values, breathes and lives with every fiber of his body, today, their work It is independent and from different areas, one of them his blog heels and, looking to reach them Colombian and Latin American women who welcome their recommendations.
Beginnings. Although Kika studied law, and were pleasant everyday issues which led to write on a variety of items and take their first steps in the project Collection Week, with Lila Ochoa. He confesses that this "jump" opened the doors to work in fashion productions and soak up all that world, which ended trapping. "As a lawyer I wanted to write nice and pleasant things of Colombia, not of hard, dense subjects as politics or economy. However, I never thought that my work would be oriented to fashion, I always saw it as a lifestyle, "he says.
That desire to learn led to the Big Apple, where he served as director of fashion and beauty in People magazine in Spanish.
"In those 13 years I was in the magazine, I was able to connect with that whole universe that exists in the city of New York: with designers, major brands and, well, learned a lot and continue to learn every day" he says.

It also adds that know how to play with colors, prints and accessories are the best keys to be well dressed and among the best.
"The good climate of Barranquilla is that they can go out with a petite sandals, dress or shorts, a white shirt, hair fixed, makeup line, and already, one is presentable."
The coastal designers are another example that highlights Kika and that have served as inspiration for those generations of new artists as well as references in the fashion world.
