Fashion takes center stage in Bogota at BCapital

Medellin, Colombia - home to Colombiatex de las Americas and ColombiaModa, the largest textile and fashion trade fair and fashion week in South America respectively - is widely thought of as the fashion capital of the country. With the 2014 edition of ColombiaModa generating a record amount of 308 million dollars in business orders, Medellin's textile and fashion industry accounting for 60 percent of the department's economy and generating 53 percent of the region's industrial employment, it comes as little surprise that the city revolves around fashion.
