The pair accepted The Fashion Game Changers Recognition from Carmen Busquets and Sara Sozzani Maino. They stated that a platform was needed to connect Latin talent with the global system. This honor recognizes their efforts in transforming the narrative around Latin American fashion.
Colombian collection on display
The Agua by Agua Bendita house showed its debut collection at the Galería de Cristal del Palacio de Cibeles. Founded by Catalina Álvarez and Mariana Hinestroza, the brand used Colombia's biodiversity and cultural heritage for inspiration. Designs featured hand-embroidered flowers on dresses and blazers alongside watercolor prints and organza petals.
Garments showcase local art
Tulle skirts appeared in tutu-like volumes next to linen and sweeping maxi layers. The collection translated references from literature and art through vivid color and intricate craftsmanship. Each piece reflected a distinctly Colombian sense of fantasy.
