00:00Well, we are here with Raúl Peña Aranda, today here from the Fashion Week of New York.
00:06Raúl, we have seen your collection absolutely divine.
00:09Tell us your inspiration and what was this spectacular collection that we have seen.
00:13Look, the inspiration is basically Audrey Hepburn and Coco Chanel,
00:17with a modern twist, a jovial twist.
00:20And always taking into account that Raúl Peña Aranda puts the DNA of my Latinx roots, of Colombia.
00:25Because for me it's important not only to present tendencias de moda,
00:29but to know that this caleño is here in New York,
00:33presenting a collection number 24, and I'm like the name of my collection, imparable.
00:38That's good, that's a nice name for the collection.
00:40Well, based on Chanel, but we have something divine,
00:43and it's that the vestido you can convert in short or long with a very simple fabric.
00:48Tell us a little bit about that.
00:50Look, what's nice is to have the sensibility of Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn,
00:54but to know how you can adjust to a modern woman like you,
00:58that of course the time is valuable.
00:59So, for me, of course, I said, well, what about if an element, a fald,
01:03gives that duality and saves time when she can go from a short dress to a long dress.
01:09So, for me, of course, it's a way to evolve as a designer,
01:13to know that the woman needs everything.
01:16And this latino, this caleño, is here to give her everything they want.
01:19Well, this caleño, that's putting in the name of Colombia,
01:24how much is it here in New York?
01:26I have 20 years in New York, presenting my collection number 24,
01:3010 years with my brand, and 10 years with other greats,
01:33like Oscar de la Renta, Donna Karan, Tommy Helfiger, and Zach Posen.
01:37And, really, I'm proud of being that Latin symbol,
01:41in a world that is, of course, a little bit difficult, but here we go.
01:45Well, it's very difficult to go from here.
01:47Look, it's quite difficult, but not impossible.
01:51Because I think you're the owner of your own journey,
01:55and at the end, you decide if you do it or not.
01:58Raúl Peñaranda, I don't have a plan B,
02:00I don't have a plan B, I don't even have a frenzy,
02:02so I go with everything.
02:04Well, in Colombia, there are many designers that are coming,
02:06that just want this dream of coming here,
02:09to New York, to the great parks of the world.
02:11What advice would you give to those designers
02:13that, through Chromos, you're going to see, what would you say?
02:16Look, for Chromos, first of all, that you have been incredible,
02:19with so much support, when suddenly nobody believed in Raúl Peñaranda,
02:22and you did it, you were one of the first ones.
02:25That no envejezcan with the product,
02:28and that you decide if you continue or not.
02:31And another thing, Raúl Peñaranda is here,
02:33I'm going to go to the order, in order to help and be a patron of any student of design.
02:38Consígueme on Instagram, that I do this with everyone,
02:41because for me, Esperanza, you know what?
02:43What nice of my story is that I have been here,
02:45and I need to be the light for those who come after me.
02:49Well, here we have the collection,
02:52muestranos something of what we are seeing here.
02:53Look, this is one of the clothes Chanel,
02:58with the Chanel Chanel, the collar type bonge,
03:02and the sleeves of seda, all made in Paris.
03:05Also, we have the perfect and beautiful black queen,
03:09that is a brand of Chanel and Audrey Hopper.
03:12And, I will tell you something,
03:16Tops, that as our brand is a brand of sustainability,
03:20this is what remains of the clothes,
03:22and we do it in limited spaces,
03:25because we are a brand of lujo,
03:27of sustainability, with a compasón humilde.
03:31That's wonderful.
03:32And to finish, please,
03:33give us a special shout out to the lecturers of Chromos.
03:37Chromos, director,
03:38Tores, de verdad que los amo.
