On a recent trip to Belize (read more here and here), I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the country but also by the indefinite number of colors and textures. And I put my camera to work to capture all of this magic!
It is indeed true that we are deeply altered by the places we live at (or that we visit on our travels). The Belizean people are friendly and almost always had something to laugh about. Their lives are indeed enriched by the natural treasures of their country.
And as my fashion designer eye never sleeps, the photos below show you several wonderful textures and colors I came across on my walks. Look at the intense (almost neon-like) color of a palm tree leaf! And the variety of greys and browns in a pile of banana tree seeds!

The local have a long history of wonderful patterns and rich colors in their fabrics. Here are two examples - photos I took at a local market - of their wonderful sense for color combinations. The fabrics are handmade and truly transmit the workmanship and the creativity of their creators.

Have you gone to a place that charmed you with its colors and how these have been incorporated into local products?
