It's easy to get addicted to the endless energy and infinite creativity that fashion capitals like NYC or London offer, but you'd be remiss to ignore what's happening in other pockets of the world. For instance, the industry would be wise to pay attention to a country located a couple thousand miles due south of the Big Apple: Colombia. It's where talented designer Diana Crump has established her up-and-coming brand, Atelier Crump.

The half-Colombian, half-French designer originally cut her teeth in the menswear department at Hermès in Paris before returning to her native country. "I wanted to learn in France, but I wanted to launch my brand in Colombia because I think there’s a lot of potential here and it’s an unknown," she told Who What Wear. "It’s something more exotic and different." 

To learn more about the designer and her brand, we caught up with Crump at a pop-up shop in Mexico City hosted by Cooperativa Shop, an e-commerce site that stocks only designers from Latin America. Keep reading to find out what we gleaned from our inspiring chat with the designer and shop her stylish wares.
