NYC SPRING STREET VISION-2.

The Ruana, is a poncho - style outer garment typical of the Andes of Colombia  particularly in the Boyacá department and Antioquia. The Ruana is a very thick, soft and sleeveless square or rectangular blanket with an opening in the center for the head. The word Ruana, comes from the Chibcha Ruana meaning 'Land of Blankets' used to refer to the woolen fabrics manufactured by the Muisca people. And it is precisely this garment the focal point of this cool Spring  look of  a creative young Puerto Rican who re- interpreted the Ruana using it like as a pareo style. Spring it is here in NYC but came coolest than ever but with refreshing and creative looks.

NYC STREET VISION -1...

Today is Saint Patrick's day and was shopping by 5th Avenue and 14th Street, when this guy caught my attention and I thought by myself: "He has the perfect look to start my first Street Vision on my Faddish blog", and I follow him until he went into the Starbucks coffee on 14 Street, and when he was waiting for its coffee, I reached him and I introduce myself and when I asked:  Where are you from?, I thought that his answer could be: from London, but not, he told me: I am from New York.  He looked stunning with a kilt in black and gold tones. That is what I love from this city the fact that you every day can see on the streets great people with great personality and great fashion sense, that make of this city a unique and fabulous in the world.
