I can’t imagine what it’s like to walk a runway—never mind doing it in a
lingerie-inspired look. Now for an added twist, imagine doing it in front of
Prime Minister Stephen Harper. That’s the scenario that faced Silvia Catalina
Lianes when she opened the “Colombia Knows Best” runway show yesterday
with her country’s president, Juan Manuel Santos, in attendance.

My seatmate—a former top modelling agent—turned to me as Lianes walked
by. “It’s not right to see such a skinny Colombian girl!” he said. “Where are
the curves?” But it’s her lack of va-va-voom dimensions that may have led to
her being signed with IMG—the first Colombian girl the agency has
represented. “We’re so proud of her,” says Carlos Rios, the director of her
mother agency, Informa Models. “Not many Colombian girls have a chance to
work abroad because they don’t look like the models who walk the
international runways, but we have big hopes for her.”

Colombian woman?

Lianes is also hoping that her tall, lean looks will land her coveted contracts
and runway shows this season. “People are surprised when they find out I’m
Colombian,” she tells me backstage at Colombia Moda—the country’s largest
fashion show, which is held in Medellín each year. “They think I’m Indian or
Chinese. But I’m Latin, and I’m so proud of that.”

The 19-year-old model recently moved to New York after working the circuit
in Singapore and Indonesia. Since then she’s worked for Carven, Akris,
Topshop and H&M, but walking the Chanel runway is her real dream. “Oh, I
can only imagine what that would be like. One day, I hope,” she says. But
meanwhile, she’s looking forward to her catwalk debut at New York Fashion
Week in September. “I don’t know which shows yet, but I’ve been going to
castings and it looks good. I have dreamed of this since I was 14 and went to
my first casting for a fashion show.” Is she nervous? “No! Not at all! I’m so
happy.” I guess that outlook explains her fearless debut in front of President
Santos.
