Today I read GALIO

Hello everyone, good morning. Today, the day is very cold and rainy, so what better way to start than with a cup of coffee and this blog. I will talk to you about a digital magazine from a publishing house called Galio, which I've been reading recently. Galio is a digital magazine of Chilean origin that covers various areas but is primarily focused on the culture of fashion and the creative industry in Latin America and the world. Personally, I quite like it because as someone who is always looking for references and inspiration, it's easy to find as I can see it on my social media or through Safari.

It began in 2013 with the opening of this magazine, initially focusing solely on fashion, and then gradually introducing other areas such as editorials, photo sessions, editorial tests, music, culture, art, among others. Over the course of these nine years, Galio.cl has received contributions from artists from Chile, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, France, Germany, China, Japan, and the United States.

Today, I also read one of their articles called "METANOIA," a fashion editorial that takes us on a journey of personal transformation with the careful selection of exclusive garments from Peruvian designers by stylist Coraima Valdez and the magnetic presence of model Carol Shiguematsu from the Sumaq agency. I found this photo session very beautiful, especially the styling in it; it looks very sophisticated and in line with what they want to convey, finding your identity through your fears and past experiences.
