Once upon a time, there was a girl who dreamed in bright colors. Her name was Isabella.

Isabella was born in 1996 in Guatemala City, or Guatemala. She lived her home,

surrounded by the bustling city streets filled with music and arts, and a skyline of majestic

mountains and volcanoes. Isabella was the youngest of four children. She was super outgoing

and always on the move. She lived singing, dancing, playing tennis, and her spec writing.

But most of all, Isabella loved fashion.

And the time she was all the love to hold a pencil. Isabella was drawing and designing dresses,

ponchos and jackets. She has 16 rag dolls that she lined up to make a little fashion runway.

She got pieces of colorful cloth and cut them into different shapes, measuring and pinning them

to her dolls, making scooping necklines and full skirts. Isabella found inspiration all around her,

her favorite colors were the pinks and yellows of a new sunrise. Here's amazed by the magnificent

casual birds taking flight in the lazy mist rising over the lakes.

Isabella loved all the hues and patterns in Guatemala and fabrics too. In addition,

its women who lived outside the city were of these fabrics by hand and each community in Guatemala

had different patterns and colors that were important to them. Some women harvested their own cotton

and dided with season plants. Some embroidered flowers and forests, eagles and snakes,

drips and zigzags, hokodots and pom-poms. It all fascinated Isabella. She especially loved

hoopole fabrics because the women who made them told amazing stories with the animals and plants

sewn into the cloth. Each image they created represented ideas of love, nature and strength.
