Colombian artist, Fernando Botero was born here in Medellin. And his vuluptuous sculptures
were intended to inspire women to embrace their natural curves. And while beauty is
certainly in the eye of the beholder, most women here don't look like Botero's vision.
Especially on the catwalk of Colombia Moda, one of South America's most important fashion
weeks.
Travel is about moments. Big, small and everything in between. I'm Courtney Scott, come on Let's
Roam!
From the runway at the airport to the fashion runway, Medellin is the fashion capital of
Colombia. So to look the part for Colombia Moda, I'm checking out El Tesoro the largest
and most exclusive mall in town, for a little bit of local shopping. Local designers like
Beatriz Camacho are setting the bar for Colombian fashion. There's so much passion and energy
in these clothes, they're just like the country itself. I wonder if I'll see anything like
this on the Colombia Moda runway? You can definitely do some damage here.
Colombia Moda, here we come! You never know who you are going to see at Colombia Moda.
Right behind me is Hernan Zajar.
Isabel Henao is one of the local Colombian designers here, and I can't wait to see the
show. The show is packed, and it's just about to start.
Absolutely exquisite. I think I'll take one of each. Well, that's a wrap on Colombia Moda...now
where's the after party?
