IN RECOGNITION OF...





5  designers




By Zayra Pelaez


In recognition of the talent in the field of fashion in Colombia, Semana Coleccion magazine chose: Olga Piedrahita, Amelia Toro, John Miranda, Angel Yanez and Silvia Tcherassi, who testify to the creativity that shows the best face of the country, along literature, science, art and architecture. This is a close-up that gives us a vision of their ideas, their image and their achievements.




Everyone who wants to feel casual and well dressed, can wear John Miranda's clothes, because he designs for all ages: he makes suits, sport garments, swimwear and even lingerie. In other words, there is no fashion segment that he has not experienced.

Today he feels mature enough to offer collections that convey "security, impact and comfort", the three pillars of his design. However, this mental clarity also lets him understand that he is still in search of a style and to confess that this search is in process.

Five years ago, his clothes were, very ornate; medium baroque; he admired Ferré, Lacroix and Omar Rayo; Armani bored him, because of his simplicity. Today he likes the vanguard style, because of its rarity, and how broad it can be; Armani fascinates him, he hates the excesses and is a hopeless minimalist. 

Paradoxically, he doesn't have many clothes, her wears jeans and jackets -does not have more than five of them- and can  always be seen in black, gray, blue and white. He prefers not to have much, to not to think so much it disperses energy", he says. His thing are the basics, informality, and cool colors. And obviously, the sandals that remind him of his land, Ayapel in Córdoba.

The fabrics, colors and prints are the inspiration for his collections, especially those that evoke sensuality and movement. He is convinced that there is much more mystery in color than what is thought and that each person prefers some tones more than others for pure chemistry reasons. He personally likes red, white and black, and for swimsuits he prefers warm colors that evoke joyfulness.

Despite the choreography of his shows, and the music that you hear on the runways, John Miranda is rather shy and quiet, but confesses that behind the curtain he is muted and loses all sense of humor.

But shy and all, he loves to teach. It was the first thing he did when he finished his design studies in Istituto secoli from Italy, and is convinced that contact with students requires him to be constantly up to date.
