What’s the latest fashion style in Colombia ? The « narcos » look is much appreciated – expensive and flashy – and it influences what rich Colombians wear.

We’ll learn why motor-cyclists have to wear a fluorescent vest with their licence plate number printed large on their backs. And we see the mothers of those who have disappeared – they wear day and night a t-shirt with the picture of their loved one.

We meet beautiful young native Indian women wear white robes that represent the clouds. And we see how Indian traditions are being turned into fashion accessories.
We finally discover why the ponchos of the peasants are not ponchos at all. And we get to see the first collection of elegant and bullet-proof clothing, coming ‘chic’ with protection and very guarded bodies.
