El Bosquejo's midwest stalker

This is one instance I am not queasy about having stalker — a style stalker that is. El Bosquejo is now featured on the We Are Stalking page of Corridor40, the blog of Saint Louis Fashion Week.




Just looking at Google Analytics, you won't really believe that people are reading your blog thousands of miles away. Until they email you or write something about you.

Speaking of which, I'd like to tell you about something exciting in the works, involving an Italian street label, an ad campaign, and an online contest. Watch this page.

Thanks to Corridor40, I stumbled upon Black Sheep and Prodigal Sons, an accessory maker that creates eerie and unsettling jewelry. More on my next post.

Thanks again to Jennifer from Corridor40!

El Bosquejo on The Insider

Well, not exactly. More on In Focus, the online magazine of Runway2Reality, which I figure contributes content to the online page of The Insider.

Why Bosquejo?

As I've said, the blog is about ideas. I feel that anything out there is just a suggestion, a proposition, an interpretation — from runway shows and magazine editorials to personal style on the streets. Change happens so fast in the fashion industry, but I do not feel compelled to go with its pace since things only repeat, are recycled, re-envisioned. I like that in this way the blog is abstract, not fixed. It breathes with me.

When it comes to fashion and style, what inspires you the most?

Sincerity. No matter how gaudy, shocking, or offensive something is, if it suits you and shows that it is your personality — and not some hackneyed image — that you are projecting, then I am impressed. I am hooked. I listen. People like that inspire me the most. Yeah, people inspire me the most.


Thanks again to Dhon for the interview! And thanks to my friend and soon-to-be missus, Cecille, for taking the photo on the cover!
