Colombian designer makes fashion business bulletproof

June 25, 2016 By creative

By Luis Jaime Acosta BOGOTA (Reuters) – Miguel Caballero's designs are not just chic, they could save your life. The Colombian fashion designer, who makes lightweight, bulletproof clothing for dignitaries including the King of Jordan, says he has a 'survivors club' of 20 customers who owe their lives to wearing his garments. “My greatest satisfaction is not earning business, it's saving lives,” Caballero, who founded the company bearing his name 21 years ago, told Reuters following a fashion show on Friday with models strutting down the runway as at any other.
