Anciela

Anciela presents its Autumn-Winter 22 womenswear collection with a short film inspired by the famous Colombian flower festival and the history of the “Silletero” the porters who used to carry people, food and flowers since colonial times through the Andes on a chair ('silleta’') on their backs.
The collection will explore this tradition as an analogy for the journey of a migrant and the weight and beauty of being different and adapting to a new environment.
The silhouettes are inspired by depictions and illustrations of 19th-century Colombian women and men’s fashion during colonial times, mixed with the oversized tailoring of the zoot suit and the pachuco aesthetic of the 1940s. Carefully placed frills and voluminous 3d sleeves in a flower-shaped pattern, in contrast with oversized shoulders and a more relaxed fit, create an effortless and adaptable ensemble, showing the intricate cut of the garments. Featuring adjustable leg trousers with side oversized pleats fastened with corozo buttons bring the versatility element that Droguett feels very passionate about, but with a twist of eccentricity in the use of elevated textiles and monochrome proposals contrasting with bold woven stripes, bright blues and yellows.
