PROCESS TALK “ LIVE” - NATALIA BAQUERO

When Natalia moved from Colombia to Montreal, she specialized in costume design for circus and special events. Shortly afterward, she joined the Cirque du Soleil team in the hat and headpieces department. It was there that she fell in love with creating luxury accessories and working with beautiful materials.

With determination, hard work and constant learning, Natalia became recognized for her inventiveness and high level of technical expertise. That experience was coupled with rigorous training with well-known and respected milliners to perfect the concept, designs and quality behind her creations.  After years of effort and dedication, her creative dreams became a reality when, in addition to her known Costume Design creations, she launched her Natalia Baquero Millinery brand of high-end refined hats and headpieces.

Her creative process is based on experiment and innovation, exploring new forms of craftsmanship that can transform traditional Millinery to new grounds of innovation through a multi-disciplinary approach of collaborations with artists, photographers and performing artists.

On Oct 3rd, 2018, I hosted the sixth session of the PROCESS TALKS live.  At this time I had the pleasure to sit and chat with Natalia about her creative process, and artistic journey past, present and future. Enjoy this recorded interview, that took place in front of a live audience, at the Project Vivant studio. My name is Jennifer Cloutier and this is the process talks.
