Fabulous Models and Designs in the Beautiful Outdoors

The Terrace

Given Nixia Varela LaMar's orientation in the natural world, upon which she draws heavily for inspiration, it is not surprising that she would select a home's outdoor areas to photograph her designs.  A recent shoot incorporated terraces, balconies, a pool and garden creating attractive backdrops and providing a natural thematic context to show off her work.

Mystery: Why Aren't These Clutch Bags For Sale in Panama?

 
These are some of the most recent Clutch Bag designs by Nixia Varela LaMar.  As always, she personally designed them and guided her staff in all phases of production.

But these bags will NOT be for sale in Panama.  

Why?

All we can say now is that their unavailability relates to the expansion of the Varela LaMar brand and give one clue:

Misterio: Porque estos bolsos clutch no estan en la venta en Panama?

 
 
Estos son los últimos diseños de bolsos estilo "clutch"  hecho por Nixia Varela LaMar.  Como siempre, ella los diseño personalmente y manejaba su confección hasta el ultimo detalle.

Pero, estos bolsos NO están en la venta en Panamá.

Porque?

El único que podemos revelar en este instante es que su falta de disponibilidad esta relacionado con el crecimiento de la marca Varela LaMar y dejarles con una sola pista:

 

Upcoming Event; International Coverage

At this time, Nixia is finalizing arrangements for her next event.  It will be outside of Panama at the end August and details will follow in the coming days.  There will be new evening pieces, bags and plenty of coverage.

Fashion Nicotine

Yesterday Nixia was happy to see  international coverage of her Fashion Week Panama collection in Fashion Nicotine, from the Netherlands.  She is grateful for the piece, especially because, although she had been in contact with the rapidly emerging blog, yesterday morning's mention was a surprise. 

Having just completed Fashion Week Panama, Nixia resumed her work for private clients and a new collection of Varela LaMar Clutch Bags-- already available at Diablo Rosso and Chika's Collection Panama.

The Bags of the Ball

Over the course of the three-day gala,

Fashion Week Panama introduced spectators  to the latest Latin American fashion trends across a spectrum ranging from the funky and  chic to the elegant and fantastical.  Surrounded by the gorgeous, the glamorous and the outrageous it was overwhelming trying to assimilate so much spectacle, impossible to appreciate single features or individual creations.  It was the sensory overload everyone hoped to savor.

However, as bold evening collections garnered so much audience attention, awing them with exquisite  gown designs in brilliant color schemes,  the contributions of subtler details were easily overlooked and deserve special mention now.  

Having received so much attention for her "Clutch Bags", both within and outside of Panama, Nixia Varela LaMar was determined  her bags would play an integral role in her Fashion Week Panama collection.  

In the gallery below, it  is clear why Nixia made  the creative  choice to include her Varela LaMar clutch bags.  They made a significant thematic contribution to the collection, augmenting the impact of each Varela LaMar piece with which they appeared.  

Each FWP Varela LaMar clutch bag was handmade for the occasion and coordinated to complement attire in color,  fabric and texture as well as in character and personality.
