148 brands are going to participate Bogotá Fashion Week 2020
For the 2020 edition of the BFW, a new category called New Talent (Upcoming Pioneers) was created, which invited those designers with innovative proposals that project the local design of the future.
This selection of talents resulted from a call in which 360 designers participated, which were evaluated by a select group of 13 curators, among which are internationally renowned figures in the fashion industry such as Fabian Hirose Management Consulting, London, Ian Scott Kettle, Donatella Zappierie, Serena Cancellier, Rocío Martínez Saldaña, Matteo Menotto, Adrien Yakimov Roberts, Yuan Ren, Si Young KIM, Ana María Londoño, Johanna Isaac, Paula Mendoza and Carolina Agudelo. The curators took into account the development of collections under international standards, which responded to the local identity as a key factor to promote new businesses in the fashion design offer in Bogotá - Region.
The 148 selected will participate in the parades and in the Fashion Experience ─area of business and commercial activation through showrooms and pop up stores─ of Bogotá Fashion Week. Likewise, before the activation of the platform, they receive 1360 hours of technical advice from the team of international experts and specialized consultants of the CCB, which began on October 21, 2019 and will culminate at the moment when the designers exhibit their creations on the catwalks of the Bogota Fashion Week 2020 (from May 5 to 7, 2020).
The sessions of strengthening the business of the participants are inaugurated with an acceleration stage in which the selected ones will be able to reinforce topics such as the definition of the DNA of their brands, their identity and style. At a later stage, the workshops will focus on the definition of identity for international markets, which includes the prototyping of sales campaigns, price structure and promotion in global markets, among other aspects; and, finally, they will focus on the generation of a digital, marketing and communication strategy, as well as sales and promotion.
