Fashion is not only about wearing a ‘look’ that speaks of the latest trends. Nor is it all eye catching when making a couture suit. It is more than that. It is ‘weaving dreams’ with ‘laces of hope’ for those who see their greatest desire in this area.

Similarly, they delivered machines to another group in the San Antonio de Guerra municipality where members of Inmoda RD visited the Eugenio de Jesús Marcano Fondeur Polytechnic to surprise five deserving students who dream of being great fashion designers in the country. “They must follow their dreams of venturing into the fashion area. There are no excuses because for this we are providing them with this tool, which is vital for their entrepreneurship and professional growth. It is the one that has to form the foundations for them to become great. designers, and that they may be able to represent us inside and outside the country “, advises Reynoso.
