A talented 25-year-old girl from Paraguay has, on Youtube, under her moniker of GiannyL, been enthrawling recession-conscious people from all round the world with her tips on how to make secondhand clothes fashionable, and not using any English or any words of her own language. Her website has attracted 600,000 visitors.

She livens up what could be a dreary 'how to do video' with lively South American music, sensual body language, clearly enjoying her 'passion for fashion' with a natural South American flair.

People are dazzled as she turns a scrap of old rag into something beautiful, and yet is very simple to do.

You should see how she makes a stunning maxi dress in two minutes flat. I hope you enjoy her videos as much as I have.

My name is Giannina Lezcano . I am 25 years old and was born in Encarnacion, Paraguay in a neighborhood known as “Inmaculada Concepcion”. Today, I go by “Giannyl”.

During my childhood years, both of my grandmothers taught me about dressmaking and popular fashion. This sparked an early interest in both fashion and photography. In my hometown of Encarnación, everyone makes their own clothes, dresses, and costumes for the annual Corso festival. This was definitely the influence behind the style you find on my website.

In 2008, I launched www.giannyl.com. It has video blogs for do-it-yourself fashion. I show people how to create original designs from various pieces of materials such as curtains, towels, and sheets. Not only will this save you money, but you’ll help create a greener culture and contribute to improving the environment by recycling these materials.
