Fiber Artist | Master Knitter/Crocheter | Fashion Designer | Social Activist Personal and Artistic Journey Milagros Batista is more than a designer; she's a storyteller weaving tales of resilience, cultural vibrancy, and individuality through her wearable art. Born in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, Milagros draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of her childhood—ocean waves, bustling markets, and the aroma of coffee and sugarcane. Growing up during a challenging political era, Milagros found strength in her family and guidance in the form of Doña Maria Luisa, a Freedom Fighter and Master Knitter. This mentorship became the foundation of her journey into the world of fiber arts, knitting, crochet, and social justice. Early Influence and Mentorship At seven, Milagros' meeting with Doña Maria Luisa marked the beginning of a transformative journey. Hindered by financial constraints, Milagros proposed a unique arrangement—she'd work for knitting lessons. Doña Maria Luisa, a fearless advocate against dictatorship, not only agreed but ignited in Milagros a passion for social change. Doña Maria Luisa's passing didn't halt Milagros' growth; instead, she became part of a collective of women mentors, guiding her until her family moved to New York. The vibrant culture of NYC, coupled with the influence of the  Black is Beautiful  movement, shaped Milagros' perspective, fueling her commitment to equity, sustainability, and gender neutrality. The Batista Collections: Brand Bio Milagros Batista - Designing for Equity, Sustainability, and Gender Neutrality A decade ago, Milagros transitioned careers to dedicate herself entirely to knitting and crochet. In 2016, she birthed Batista Collections, challenging preconceptions in high fashion. The resurgence of these crafts during the pandemic amplified her mission, solidifying their presence in the industry. Milagros' designs stand out, incorporating intricate cables reminiscent of braided hair. Pieces like the  Free Spirited  shawl/jacket symbolize freedom and self-expression. As Batista Collections moves forward, it envisions pushing creative boundaries, defining a path where fashion meets individuality. Mission Statement At Batista Collections, we're crafting a fashion revolution beyond gender norms. Fashion should liberate, allowing limitless self-expression. Rooted in inclusivity and authenticity, our gender-neutral garments empower individuals to embrace their unique identities without fear or limitation. Meticulously crafted, our designs blur gender lines, allowing wearers to explore personal style with confidence. We celebrate the beauty of diversity, honoring the rich tapestry of global identities. Committed to sustainability, we prioritize ethical practices and mindful production. Join us in this transformative journey where fashion becomes a tool for self-expression and empowerment. Join us in Redefining Fashion!

The Metropolitan Museum is a world-class art museum in New York City, USA. I have some brief feelings after visiting: 1. Extensive collections: The Metropolitan Museum has a wide range of collections, including artworks from Europe and the Americas, artworks from Africa and Asia, ancient artworks and more. These collections show the development of human art and culture. 2. Fine art: The artworks in the museum, whether they are paintings, sculptures or crafts, have made me feel the talents and innovation of the artists. 3. Interactive: There are many interactive exhibitions in the museum, which can better understand and appreciate the artwork. 4. Educational: The explanations and guided tours in the museum are very detailed, and for me, this is a good opportunity to learn and understand art. 5. Spacious and comfortable: the museum has a reasonable space layout and makes people feel very comfortable. It doesn&rsquo;t feel crowded even with a lot of people. Overall, visiting the Metropolitan Museum was a very pleasant experience and I highly recommend everyone to have the opportunity to visit.

The representative of New York, the United States, there are two lines to go, we are on the ferry, and there are speedboats to sit, but this is the most cost-effective. I went at two o&#39;clock in the afternoon. There were not many people. It was just right to come back. If I went in the morning, there were more tour groups and the queue was very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.

A wonderful Broadway musical, rap-style, about the fate of the legendary Hamilton. The live atmosphere is warm, the music is infectious, the dance design and the lighting are superb, it is worth a visit.
