Set in 1980s Colombia, and named after the wife of Pablo Escobar the pieces tell a tale of love, romance, feminine strength, eternal loyalty and Catholicism.

Where there is fragmentation, there is growth. In the face of uncertainty, often times we find strength and confidence.

The HON woman’s strength and confidence are paramount to her outward appearance hence the modern yet classic silhouettes, which are the designer’s true aesthetic were paired beautifully with handmade headpieces. Through the sassy uneven helms, voluminous peasant sleeves, form-fitting and show of skin, feminine strength shown through the collection. 60% of the collection was handmade and the focus was to create a visual but subtle experience of luxurious apparel that looks and feels personalized for the consumer.
