"Don Yuana" celebrates Curaçao’s cultural and natural heritage through vibrant fashion and stunning landscapes. The iguana, or 'yuana' in Papiamentu, symbolizes our island's unique wildlife. By integrating this majestic creature with the human figure, I highlight the harmony between our people and nature. The bold floral patterns in the attire reflect the lush, diverse plant life of our rugged terrain. This piece embodies the beauty, vibrancy, and cultural essence of Curaçao, paying homage to the island that continuously inspires my creativity.
