Behind the scenes of VOL. 7 | Bogotá Fashion Week 2026
There are moments that last just a few minutes on the runway, but ...CULdeBAL is a project that has been in the works for years, and in the case of this new collection, it took nine months.
VOL. 7 arrived at Bogotá Fashion Week 2026 as an open conversation about celebrating vulnerability as something to be enjoyed, not hidden. However, behind every look, every print, and every gaze, there is a much deeper story.
Because at ...CULdeBAL, collections aren’t born from fleeting trends.
They are born from everyday spaces.
They are born from archives.
They are born from landscapes that evoke the skin.
A photo archive that continues to grow
For more than seventeen years, our creative director, Alejandra Quintero, has been building a personal photographic archive composed of landscapes, bodies, spas, unexpected encounters, and moments of everyday intimacy.
That archive does not remain locked away.
It transforms.
The collection stems from a photographic archive that portrays everyday spaces such as bathrooms, scars, and landscapes that evoke the skin, transforming them into liberating realms.
VOL. 7 continues this exercise in visual translation: transforming experiences into clothing and memories into presence.
The Casting: People Before Models
One of the most important decisions for every ...CULdeBAL fashion show takes place long before the models hit the runway.
Who tells the story?
Since its inception, the brand has sought out people capable of bringing the garments to life through their own identity.
We don’t look for a single body type, age, or standard of beauty.
We look for humanity.
Because at ...CULdeBAL, there’s room for everyone.
Every person who walks the runway for the brand carries their own story, and that diversity is precisely what gives meaning to our collections.
Minutes before taking the stage
The beauty of imperfection
VOL. 7 was born from a simple question:
What if we stopped hiding our marks?
The collection invites us to view scars, memories, and imperfections from a different perspective.
Not as something that needs to be corrected.
But as evidence that we’ve lived.
Every appearance on the runway was an invitation to celebrate what makes us unique.
