Inspiration

Anciela’s founder and creative director, Jennifer Droguett was born and raised in the colourful and fun city of Medellin, Colombia. She grew up being surrounded by Latin art, dance and music.
Jennifer grew up surrounded by loud family parties where dancing was mandatory and showing off your most colourful outfit was the highlight of the night. Jennifer is keen to bring the influences of Colombian culture into British Fashion.
After living outside of Colombia for more than a decade, Jennifer’s gone back to her roots. Anciela gets its name from Jennifer’s grandparents, ANgel and GraCIELA. “When I first started out, I used to seek inspiration from things alien to me, and far away. Now I’ve ended up looking within and using the rich experiences of my childhood as an inspiration. I feel that I’ve found my true identity as a designer”.
