Women's liberation in the 1920s to put aside the use of corsets and uncomfortable garments inspired Santander designer Catalina Bayona to present a collection that symbolizes comfort and elegance. This is how she wants the brides and women who wear her dresses to feel, "because I want them to be comfortable and relaxed."

With great pride, he adds, he opened this event on his 'little land'. "It was very special and enriching."

A bride has no need to wear those kinds of pieces that result in a pompous and extravagant dress, says Catalina. For this reason, she evoked that time, where her model has been Coco Chanel, who initially adopted this progressive concept.

It was for this reason that the collection of 13 wedding dresses and 6 party dresses worn by the Santanderean models in the third edition of the Santander BGA Fashion Week was called 'Flapper'. Each dress is a unique piece and was made in about 15 days, for a total of two months of general preparation.

Catalina Bayona points out that this series is the extension of what was presented at last year's Bogotá Fashion Week, which was held virtually during the health emergency. In addition, she points out that it is the first time that she has attended this event in eastern Colombia.

Flapper is an anglicism that was used at that time to refer to a new lifestyle of young women who broke with the traditional fashion of the time: they wore short skirts, did not wear corsets, wore a special haircut (called bob cut) and listened to unconventional music for that time (like jazz).

“It was the beginning of the modern woman, the origin of a new woman. The ultra feminine and submissive housewife adopted a more masculine style, she wore simpler clothes to work; some cut their hair, smoked, wore pants, played "manly" sports and even drove cars," added the designer.
