SANTÍSIMAS Presents ‘ALTARES’ at Milan Fashion Week: A Manifesto of Feminine Power and Art
Quick Article Summary: Colombian fashion brand Santísimas debuted at Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026, presenting its "ALTARES" collection at Palazzo Serbelloni from September 23-29. Founded by creative director Kely Velásquez in Medellín, the brand transformed the runway into a performative experience celebrating Latin femininity and reinterpreting sensuality as cultural and artistic statement. The collection drew inspiration from iconic Latin figures like María Félix, Selena Quintanilla, and Sofía Vergara, featuring lace, sheer fabrics, and tulle designs that challenge stigmas around intimate fashion. Special guests Luisa Fernanda W and Pipe Bueno joined the show, alongside models from diverse countries including Japan, France, Ukraine, and Sweden, demonstrating the global resonance of the brand's vision. Beyond fashion, Santísimas generates around 150 jobs—primarily for women—through over 20 women-led workshops in Medellín, and is now planning to open its first European store in Milan. The brand positions itself as a symbol of feminine empowerment that elevates sensuality to sophisticated art, connecting intimate fashion with craftsmanship and cultural legacy.
