country, is leaving her footprints and is here to stay. She has represented Nicaragua successfully on fashion runways in Paris, Madrid and New York in addition to other fashion capitals and has styled female leaders outside and in her country. Among her designer responsibilities, Lacayo is currently director of the Nicaragua Design program.

Furthermore, she has been recognized in numerous publications - HOLA, Caras, Vanidades, Siempre Mujer, Telemundo, Univision, CALA, CNN en Español, among others - and has created her own name with her prêt-à-porter style, cocktail and ready-to-wear. She describes her collection as avant-garde, sensually daring and attractive for the modern and sophisticated woman that isn't afraid of 'provocative art' style. 

“The particular cuts of my collection present a sensation of visual art and feroz touch constantly inspired by historical, modern and fine art fusion,” explained Shantall.

Don't miss Lacayo's and other famous Latin designers - Colombian Carlos Arturo Zapata and Peruvian Jose Zafra -  show off all their talent at Miami Food and Fashion 2016.
