WFK was all about MOD Swim Week in the middle of July. Producing a fashion show for Betsey Johnson and styling and coordinating shows for Mariana London from West Palm Beach, and We Are Handsome from Australia –which by the way, is our new obsession! But while we were busy, excited and running up and down The Sagamore making sure everything was bomb, in Panama, something similar was happening: Panama Fashion Week. On the 15th, 16th & 17th of July, Varela Lamar, a Panama native designer label, showcased her latest collection on the runways of her town.
Take a look to some of the designs.

“Through her label, Varela LaMar, Nixia has established a line of clothing that has been enthusiastically received in Panama City’s exclusive boutiques. Her work is exhibited at select events where designers collaborate to promote Panama as an emerging influence in the fashion world. She works by appointment for a private clientele of women who seek unique, elegant expression in their apparel. However, the passion and talent that place her among top Latin American designers has origins in simple instinct and creativity.” Bio from www.varelalamar.com
