As always...Villegas editores publishes a tier one book. The quality of the text is first class. Most immediate impressions of "Atavíos Raíces de la Moda Colombiana," is of nakedness. However, the genius of this book must not limited to such simplistic observerations.

This Spanish language text is a masterpiece of light and color. The fact that it includes some bare bodies is secondary to the spectacular display of glimmering Colombian jewelery and colorful traditional costumes. Although this book is sensual in nature and may be a turnoff for bland coffee table collectors I consider it a work of art and a fine contribution to a serious library.

Although the images presented in this book do not show much of contemporary Colombian fashion, they are extremely artistic, with lots of character, and even thought-provoking. Prudes will definitely not like this book, but I highly recommend it to those interested in fashion photography, as well as to any artist in any medium who needs inspiration for human body studies. Excellent book, exceptional images, and fresh approach!
