STEPHANIA YEPES
(STYLIST)

Colombia

Stephania is fashion stylist and creative director born in Colombia and based in Spain.

Stephania Yepes has spent many years developing her discourse and her stories through images, shapes, colors and textures. It is clear that in her work there are certain elements that are constant and, without going any further, we can conclude that they are important to her. Women, diversity, traditions, beauty in everyday life, the natural. They are not strange or foreign topics for the majority, but the way of working with them is very personal.

“I was born in Cali (Colombia), in the golden age of beauty pageants, which were my first sources of inspiration.”

When she was very little she emigrated to Spain, keeping her roots always alive. The nostalgia for that magical realism fueled her creativity, which she now uses as a flag of her identity and as a cure for that same nostalgia.

“I use the privilege that emigration gave me to be part of the change in my territory.”
