Puno: Moda andina

La semana que estuve en Puno, tuve la suerte de ver el desfile con los resultados del trabajo que realizaron varias asociaciones de artesanos de la región para la feria "Perú Moda 2014". El objetivo del evento es dar a conocer el desarrollo delas artesanías y promoverlas a nivel internacional. Los artesanos puneños mostraron diseños con telares a base de fibra de alpaca que actualmente son altamente cotizadas y pedidas por el mercado extranjero.

The aim of the event is to present the development of the crafts and promote them internationally. The Puno artisans showed designs based from alpaca fibre which are currently highly valued and sought by the foreign market.
