Designs Inspired by the Tree of Life by AFANADOR at Couture Fashion Week
AFANADOR returns to Couture Fashion Week with a glamorous collection for Spring/Summer 2014. The fashion show will be held at 4:00 pm on Thursday September 5, 2013 in the Grand Ballroom of the New Yorker Hotel, 481 Eighth Avenue, in the heart of the Big Apple's Fashion District. AFANADOR's latest collection is inspired by the Tree of Life, and by work of artist Konstantin Dimopoulos, and his "The Blue Trees" project. Sensational, chic, elegant, exquisite... are some of the adjectives that describe these stunning designs. Colombian designer Jorge Afanador is an experienced architect with a background in industrial and interior design, fashion and arts. Creativity is the hallmark of his AFANADOR brand. In his designs fresh ideas are matched with raw materials, diversity of form and avant-garde concepts are mixed with art to bring an architectural element to clothing and jewelry with an environmental awareness. Jorge Afanador's designs are
inspired by nature and architecture,
and every creation
focuses on flattering a
real woman's body, clothing that can
be worn by every body type. Mr. Afanador's
technical knowledge of a garment’s proper fit and
construction, combined with his innate
creative abilities, result in an effortless and wearable line that
reflects the kind of woman the wearer
is: strong, sexy, fun, fearless and the focus of
attention. AFANADOR's visionary concept
of an inspiring lifestyle is complemented by a defined awareness of
nature and landscape as well as the indigenous sub-cultures of
Colombia. The primary focus of his unique designs is the expression of
what nature offers humanity, while sending a clear message of
environmental social responsibility. AFANADOR has embraced his role as
a versatile, solid designer who is simultaneously a tireless
environmental activist in his country. For many years he has led
important philanthropic initiatives like COOLOMBIACOOL, a well-known
platform for Colombian designers, musicians, artists and professionals
to show the world the beauty of Colombia. SOS Landscape, the
foundation for the preservation of landscapes around the world is the
new initiative of AFANADOR.
