By I constantly expressed my fascination by October and it was no secret I didn’t want this month to end. But todays post made me want to move on to November as fast as an asteroid. The main reason is todays special guest: Sergio Salmerón. We are not only talking about an incredibly stylish icon but a very talented jewerly designer who is becoming a major hit in Nicaragua and worldwide. Sergio is the creator/founder of Ekoglam – a brand aimed at developing products from recycled materials.
Besides of being a synonym of sustainable fashion, Ekoglam offers high quality, fancy and exclusive jewerly designs for men and women with different product lines such as necklaces, bracelets and ties. What I love the most about this brand is getting glam & personalized products that will make me unique from everyone else’s style. Even though Ekoglam offers the same message from all its amazing products, each design has a characteristic that will fit into different styles. As you will see from the shots, Sergio has a great sense of style, and Ekoglam couldn’t be out of his amazing ootd. I hope you guys enjoy this outfit and its beautiful accesories and you are more than invited to visit and follow Ekoglam on facebook, twitter & instagram and I’ll be revealing the website very soon since it is still under construction. Lets all become Ekoglammers and don’t miss the interview below!
1. ¿Cómo describirías tu estilo personal?
Definir mi estilo es un poco complicado ya que es una búsqueda constante de saber que va con tu cuerpo que colores te quedan que colores no… y saber adaptar las tendencias a tu personalidad… soy una persona extrovertida y trato de vestir a mi ropa no que mi ropa me vista a mi… lo importante es proyectar tu esencia en cada pieza y volverla una extensión de tu personalidad… si tuviera que definir una palabra mi estilo diría que es una mezcla entre “vintage-urbano”
How would you describe your personal style?
Defining my style is a little tricky because it is a constant search of what will fit better with your body, what colors look good on you, and what colors don’t… and it is about adjusting trends to your personality… I’m an outgoing person and I try to wear my clothes and not let my clothes wear me.. I think it is important to scheme you essence in every piece and turn it into an extension of your personality… If I had to define my style in one word I would say it is a mix between “vintage-urban”
2. ¿Qué tendencias te gustaría que se convirtieran en un clásico?
Creo que el sportswear, adoro ver a las personas con outfits bastante ligeros y no con tantas capas de telas en sus cuerpos.. hay que recordar que vivimos en un clima tropical y existen telas que nada que ver con nuestro clima.. así que pues ya es cada cosa de cada persona pero si.. yo opino por algo super ligero.. y el tomboy.. que esta en furor y el tropicalstyle.
What trends would you like to become a classic?
I believe in sportswear, I love watching people with light outfits and not too many layers in their bodies… We need to remember that we live in a tropical country and there are fabrics that have nothing to do with our climate… so it’s really up to every person.. I vote for something light… and tomboy…which is a hit right now as well as tropicalstyle.
3. ¿Qué tendencias te gustaría que desaparecieran?
Las cejas tatuadas… las detesto… me parecen tan corrientes… creo que no hayo nada mas hermoso que ver algo bastante natural y en muy buena armonía…
What trends would you like to see disappear?
Tattooed eyebrows…I hate them…they are so tacky… I think there is nothing more beautiful than natural beauty…
4. ¿Cuál fue tu inspiración para crear Ekoglam?
Ekoglam nació con la necesidad, de crear conciencia sobre el reciclaje creativo en Nicaragua. Enfocado en la moda sostenible porque es algo que muy pocos conocen y que realmente es bello porque nos hace reflexionar sobre lo que usamos y consumimos, valorar que la tierra no es una fuente inagotable de recursos sino nuestro soporte vital… Amo la moda.. pero también mi vida esta muy ligada a la ecología entonces, Ekoglam es la fusión de mis dos pilares vitales: la moda.. y el amor a la naturaleza.
What was your inspiration to create Ekoglam?
Ekoglam was born with the need to create awareness on creative recycling in Nicaragua. My idea was focused on sustainable fashion because it is something that few people know and it’s truly beautiful, and also makes us meditate on what we use and consume, to value earth as a life support instead of an inexhaustible resource… I love fashion… but my life is attached to ecology, and that’s what Ekoglam is, the merger of my two favorite pillars: fashion and love for nature.
5. ¿Qué proyectos has realizado recientemente con tu marca y cuáles piensas desarrollar en un futuro cercano?
Lo mas reciente el Nicaragua Diseña, que la verdad fue todo un éxito… el apoyo que recibí de la organización fue maravilloso, esto consolido mi marca a otro nivel, el hecho de compartir con tantas personas escuchar sugerencias, y muy buenos comentarios sobre la cosificacion y estura de mi marca.. fue bastante llenador.
Proyectos a futuro tengo montones.. me encantaría contártelos todos.. pero la verdad es un proceso… y mientras no estén del todo cocinados no puedo comentártelos.. pero si te adelanto que pronto Ekoglam, estará en Europa 🙂
What projects have you done recently and which ones do you intend to develop in a short term future?
The most recent project is Nicaragua Diseña, which was a complete success… I received a lot of support from the organization, and this helped my brand to get consolidated, it was great to share my experiences and being able to receive advices and helpful comments about my brand..I felt accomplished.
I have a lot projects for the future…I would love to tell them all but I’m still on the process… and for now I can just tell you that Ekoglam will be in Europe very soon 🙂
