Miami, FL – November 20, 2018 – Istituto Marangoni Miami hosted “In Conversation With” series of talks hosted at the Miami Campus of Istituto Marangoni with designer Johanna Ortiz. The Colombian born designer will talk about women in leadership and embracing your roots while running a successful company. Today, Ortiz’s designs are sold at some of the world’s top retailers and over 73 doors globally. Behind her signature ruffles and off-the-shoulder silhouettes, worn by Amal Clooney and Sandra Bullock among many other celebrities, is a unique point of view that goes to the core of her Latin roots with the objective to create a lifestyle brand beyond clothes and based on heritage. “We are delighted to welcome Johanna Ortiz to Istituto Marangoni Miami. She has managed to become one of the most talked about brands in the world capturing the eye of consumers and industry insiders. Ortiz is the embodiment of hard work and her story of success and authenticity will be inspiring to the younger generations and students,” said Hakan Baykam, President of Istituto Marangoni Miami.
