As movement director and dancer Dance of the Migrant
Anciela presented it’s Autumn-Winter 22 womenswear collection with a short film inspired by the famous Colombian flower festival and the history of the “Silletero” the porters who used to carry people, food and flowers since colonial times through the Andes on a chair ('silleta’') on their backs. The collection will explore this tradition as an analogy for the journey of a migrant and the weight and beauty of being different and adapting to a new environment. Watch Dance of the Migrant.
