Nixia Varela De LaMar

Panama fashion designer Nixia Varela LaMar (Varela LaMar) designs for women as self-assured as she and all her creations reflect her individuality. Preserving a continuity of traditional style, with subtle acknowledgments of the current, clients find in a Varela LaMar design a vehicle for elegant self-expression.

Nixia's nascent acumen and innovation were evident early. As a child, she sewed secret pockets into the kilts of her school uniforms—a practical alteration that sacrificed nothing of the aesthetic. Nixia continued sketching and outlining concepts for years before formal study of fashion. Professionally, Nixia has done countless runway shows, given interviews in all media forums, dressed contestants in international pageants and been asked to teach seminars.
