Ritual De lo Habitual

To date, my opinion of Colombian fashion has been less than desirable. Talented designers, beautiful fabrics, and intricate work without a doubt. But styles get lost in translation. The general public seems to have a palette for the exotic look-exhibitionist to say the least. However, a fashion samaritan arrives to save the flashing masses.

Colombian native, Esteban Cortazar is a noted fashion designer, loved by the fashion elite. Cortarzar joins with Colombian superstore Exito, to bring a collection that is edgy, solid, and beyond tasteful. Pieces that make statements and a campaign that will elevate the current status quo to higher grounds. Bravo.

Truly creating a ritual from the habitual. 

Chained to the earth

When the superficial wearies me, it wearies me so much that I need an abyss in order to rest. ~Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943


Earth hour. Just me, a candle and my thoughts. No distractions, except my own mind (fml). Enjoying this dark and solitude hour, more than I had expected. There should be more hours like this. Forced reflection while preserving the place I barely consider.

New ritual? I think so.
