Gloria Saldarriaga

Gloria Saldarriaga is a celebrated Colombian style icon, collector, and cultural connector whose influence spans fashion, art, and folk tradition. A tireless champion of Latin American design, Gloria is muse and mentor to many. Her practice is rooted not in possession but in curiosity—the search itself, the layered meanings behind objects, and the joy of sharing discoveries. For Gloria, fashion, art, and craft form one continuum of aesthetic expression. She finds poetry in everyday materials—like the humble sisal coffee sack—and meaning in greenhouses, memory, and conversation around the table. Her connection to Noir lies in their shared reverence for timeless objects, cultural storytelling, and the beauty of the handmade.
