We just came back from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week México defining new cowboy aesthetics, leather craftsmanship, and authentic effortless cool. We rounded up three of our favorite new designers who have already made a name for themselves back at home but are starting to make headlines abroad. These are the ones to know:
Lorena Saravia is considered one of the best Mexican designers internationally with big names like Dua Lipa as fans. Her iconic cowboy boots were spotted on all the it-girls during Fashion Week. Before finding her brand, she worked with Bread and Butter Barcelona, GSTAR-RAW, and the famous Mexican designer Macario Jiménez. Always in search of materials of the highest quality and the development of strategies sustainable, Lorena Saravia also stands out for her collaboration with Mexican artisans such as a recognition of their heritage and support of local communities.
