Tulum Fashion 2013
Jungle speed and tequila shots. An excellent combination.
I was hired along with 15 other models or so to attend Tulum Fashion 2013 by Runway Management. HMODELS, another well known agency from Cancún also took part. I decided to take my own car so I’d have more options in Tulun. Unfortunately though, my front tire burst within the first 15 minutes. Luckily I wasn’t by myself and within only 10 minutes or so we had already put on the spare and resumed our way.
When we got to Tulum an hour and a half later, the weather suddenly turned sour. It started storming and we were notified that the catwalk for today had been canceled. It was unfortunate, but we tried to make the best of the situation with some tequila shots. I think we did a pretty good job 🙂 We ended up at Papaya Playa where drinks kept flowing freely thanks to sponsorship by Absolut Vodka.
The next morning we had breakfast and soon after headed to Ahua where we waited around for several hours before starting preparations for the catwalk showing off a summer collection for Sears. The clothes looked great but unfortunately the place wasn’t ideal for a catwalk: we had to duck under the roof in order not to hit our heads, which didn’t look very elegant.
In the evening there was another catwalk at the Grand Bahia Principe Tulum. Now that was a hotel. Nothing like Diamante K, the place we were staying at in Tulum, which had a charm of its own but unfortunately didn’t offer much in terms of facilities and installations. These were especially important for the girls since they had to get ready for the catwalks. Unfortunately they had to improvise since they had to do without as much as a mirror or electricity as the generator kept failing.
The second catwalk was far better prepared. The girls showed off a collection by Zamá and jewelry designed by Daniel Espinosa. Music was provided by Samo, Natalia Paris and DJ Marisol Grajales. Although I wouldn’t recognize them since I don’t watch TV, apparently some local celebrities showed up, including Sergio Meyer e Isabela Camil, Leonardo de Lozanne, Erika Honstein and Vanesa Arias.
