Francisco Leal and Karen Daccarett, the designers behind Colombian brand Leal Daccarett, are in love with lush contradictions: their prints and their flowing yet structured silhouettes are inspired by the contrast between their home country's untouched landscapes and its brick-heavy architecture, between white Sunday dresses against small-town stone churches, between the vibrant colors of their local fruit markets against some of the chillier temperatures found in some of the country's high-altitude regions. Leal Daccarett, therefore, is an ode to the fascinating balance between a tropical sensibility and an urban mindset.

In other words: it's the perfect brand for those who find themselves constantly between two worlds, from the intricate and very specific moods and mores of Latin America to the dizzying versatility required by an increasingly global lifestyle.
