El segundo día de Pasarela Latinoamericana tuvo lugar en el Instituto Europeo de Diseño. El desfile en elIED ha significado el broche final a una Pasarela que, en su primera edición, ha demostrado una indudable capacidad de convocatoria de público y diseñadores. Chile, Colombia, Nicaragua, España, Panamá, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Paraguay… un total de ocho países han estado representados en un encuentro que aspira a tener su continuidad en los próximos años.

Los diseñadores mostraron con un sentido artesanal sus creaciones, mostrando la cultura del diseño que muestra cada uno de los países participantes.

Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada, quien es la madrina de Pasarela Latinoamericana mostró todo su talento en el primer día de Pasarela Latinoamericana en Casa de América donde la cultura latina se expuso por primera vez en una pasarela en Madrid.

El cierre de Pasarela Latinoamericana mostró como la industria de la moda esta creciendo y abriendo nuevos espacios a nuevos referentes como los diseñadores latinoamericanos.

IT WAS AN AVERAGE WEDNESDAY and my husband said, “I think we should bid on Tract 1 of the Klackle property” (full disclosure, I said no thank you).That was the beginning of our adventure. By 6:30 that night we were the new owners of a 40-acre orchard, a 20-acre pumpkin patch and in total 75 acres of agri-tainment property. Prior to that day we hadn’t even discussed purchasing it. But from that moment on we knew we were the right people to reinvent a beloved fall tradition in the West Michigan area.

Generations of families have picked apples, eaten donuts, taken wagon rides, smiled for photos and made proposals on this land. We knew we had to reopen this gathering space for generations to come.In the days that followed our impulsive purchase we googled things like “how to grow apples”.We began dreaming about what our new “boutique orchard” would become.We found a barn restoration expert and contracted him to bring our 120-year old barn back to life as an event venue. We met with a local coffee roaster and were sold on their commitment to excellence in taste and process. We hired the perfect marketing team to bring our vision into reality with mood boards, color schemes and logos. We even tested out the donut machines to make sure the recipe tasted just right (mission accomplished, by the way).

Before the ink was dry on the property sale we had to get to work in the apple orchard. We needed a tractor. And equipment. And someone experienced with these things (thank heaven for Roberto). We’re doing the work and are anticipating our first crop this fall. We don’t claim to be apple growers yet but if all goes well, this fall we are officially changing our titles.

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD for Frügthaven Farm? This year we will be open from August 15 until Halloween. We’ll offer MADCAP coffee, locally grown flowers, gifts & home décor, cider, donuts, mums, pumpkins and, of course, fresh apples.We’ll feature food trucks on the weekends and casual lawn games so you can spend a day at the farm with friends and family. Take a wagon ride through the orchard or call ahead for a quick donut run; either way we hope to offer just what you love about the orchard experience.

At the end of the season we’ll close down to begin our renovation projects. The front of the market building will become our Kaffebar  (coffee shop). It will have it’s own entrance so you can get your coffee before work or meet a friend for a cup and conversation. The back section of the market will become our Cidery and we look forward to brewing hard cider, distilling apple spirits and developing recipes for things like “Uncle Paul’s Pumpkin Ale.”

Around our grounds you’ll be able to enjoy concerts and open-air movies in the lawn, shop large markets featuring vintage finds and hand made goods, celebrate weddings, host parties, eat great food… yes, we have big dreams.But it starts small, this fall, and we can’t wait to bring you along for the ride. Welcome back to the orchard. It’s time to fall in love all over again.AP

I know what you are thinking, how are you kind of a division 1 college athlete? Well I am currently a sophomore at the University of the Pacific and I also attended Eastern Washington University last year, both where I was recruited to be on their college volleyball team. Throughout these last 2 years though, I have probably played in a months worth of practices. Not normal, right?

So my first year of college at Eastern Washington University in Cheney, Washington, I decided to have surgery on my right ankle a few weeks prior to the date we had to report on. I broke my ankle a few months before, and was still having nagging pain so the surgery was just a normal scope to clean up any scar tissue that I had built up from the initial injury. Post surgery, my rehab was going amazing, and I went home for my post-op where they said the exact same thing. I started playing for a little while I was home, and I was preparing to hopefully be playing in the season opener in the week following. I came back to Eastern for a little bit, where my trainer FINALLY said I was able to play some volleyball again. 

So that Monday. September 17th 2018, I got ready and started to practice for the first time in just over a month. I wasn’t getting a lot of touches on the ball throughout practice as my coach just threw me into a position that I don’t play. Practice went by for another hour where I didn’t do much, and I spent a lot of the time reffing which was not what I wanted to do at all. Finally we started to play some more and I finally was allowed to jump and swing at balls. My first swing I jump, and sadly come back down hard and I mean hard. I layed there in shock unable to move, while my athletic trainer and coaches surrounded me and moved me to the side of the court. 

I couldn’t tell you exactly what happened honestly but I didn’t think much of the injury, it just kinda felt like I hyperextended my knee which I have done before so I was not worrying at all! The practice went by as I layed on the sideline, and the pain in my knee absolutely skyrocketed. I eventually had to crutch back to the training room, which you should know was SO FAR and DOWN a hill. Not my best time. Time goes by of my icing and all  
the trainers looking at my knee, when they eventually tell me that they
think my ACL is torn. That’s the last thing I thought and the absolute last
thing I wanted to hear. I ended up immediately going to the doctor, where he said the same thing and I have truly never felt more heartbreak. I felt even more heart break when I realized that the recovery time for an ACL was 8-9 months. Not exactly what I wanted to hear when I just started playing college volleyball, and also just recovered
from a previous injury and surgery. I got an MRI in the next few weeks where I was then told my ACL and my MCL were torn. Devastating.

 I’ll save you the many details but I ended up getting surgery a few weeks later, and man I would never wish an ACL injury on anyone. I ended up leaving Eastern Washington after the first semester because of the negative place it was, especially with a knee injury like this. It became hard to be positive and there was no help in the school or athletics either.

Flash forward to the summer of 2019, where I was committed to play volleyball at the University of the Pacific. New school, new team, new ACL and MCL and all seemed good again. But almost a year later and I was still having TERRIBLE pain when trying to straighten my knee, and doing simple things like just walking around. I finally had enough and I went to the doctor for probably the 100th time that year. I have been with this ortho for 4 years so he knows me and knows how my body deals with injuries, so I was super comfortable talking to him and asking him why my knee still feels absolutely terrible. We decided on another MRI to see what everything looked like and to rule out any big injuries, and luckily everything in my knee looked great; which at the same time sucks. I decided to get a second surgery though, just a scope to clean up any possible scar tissue or anything else that could be causing my pain. The surgery went really well and they ended up taking out scar tissue that was keeping me from straightening my knee. So finally after almost a year, I could straighten my knee! A miracle! I ended up finishing my rehab fast and started to slowly get back into volleyball activities. And wow was that the scariest thing ever. You think you are mentally tough until you go through an injury like that and return to the sport you love that at the same time absolutely ripped you apart. I played to the best that I could through pain, then winter break happened, and in January we came back to start the beach season. And who would
have thought that I got hurt… AGAIN! This time brand new pain, and they thought I tore my meniscus until the MRI said otherwise. My MRI came out clear, and the mysteries began as to what the heck is wrong with my knee and even will I step on the court ever in a college game?

Here I am today, waiting on more doctor’s appointments, more PT, maybe more surgery’s but just hoping… that my knee can MAYBE give me a few more years of volleyball. I know it sounds sad and it was probably one of the worst things life has put me through yet, but it has continued to teach me lessons and taught me how to be strong in these tough situations and thankful for everything I have; including perfectly good ACLS.
