The collection explores identity, personal memory, and spirituality through a genderless proposal that questions social and religious norms. Veils, transparencies, and lace contrast with pleats and rigid materials to represent duality and transformation. Developed in collaboration with female artisans from Chiapas, fusing textile tradition and contemporary experimentation.
A collection that explores diverse identities and gender expressions through versatile silhouettes and a disruptive aesthetic. Latex appears as a central element, accompanied by an intense color palette inspired by the expressiveness of artisanal textiles.
Inspired by the Tsotsil concept of an animal guardian spirit, the collection reinterprets symbols from the traditional attire of Chenalhó, such as embroidered circles and snakes. Through elevated embroidery and hand pleating, the garments explore volume, movement, and transformation in collaboration with female artisans from communities in Chiapas.
Meaning "seed" in Tsotsil and Tseltal, it draws inspiration from agriculture and the Mayan textile iconography of the Chiapas Highlands. The rhombus appears as a central symbol, representing the seed, the earth, and fertility cycles. The collection reinterprets these elements through hand pleating, embroidery, and woven textiles in collaboration with female artisans from various communities in Chiapas.
Toloyal, which means "mountain" in Tsotsil, takes inspiration from topography and the relationship between territory, body, and landscape. Through embroidered maps, organic pleats, and raw textiles, the collection explores layers, textures, and contrasts that evoke earthly formations. Developed in collaboration with female artisans from communities in Chiapas using embroidery and loom-weaving techniques.
Inspired by the grana cochinilla (cochineal)-an insect used since pre-Hispanic times to produce natural pigments-the collection explores a palette of intense reds, lilacs, and maroons. Vertical and horizontal lines in the textiles evoke the cartographic planes associated with the origin of this dye. The garments, versatile and genderless, were developed with textiles woven on backstrap and pedal looms by artisans from Chiapas.
Inspired by the traditional rebozo (shawl) of Michoacán, the collection seeks to reinterpret this emblematic garment within a contemporary, versatile, and genderless aesthetic. The characteristic blue tone arises from the pigment used by the reboceras (shawl makers) during their dyeing process. The pieces were developed in collaboration with artisans from Michoacán using backstrap loom techniques and hand-finished details.
The collection explores the tension and harmony between opposing elements, taking the concept of counterpoint as a starting point. Black and royal blue stripes dialogue with a luminous palette dominated by yellow, generating graphic and dynamic contrasts. The garments maintain the brand's versatile and genderless approach, where color, rhythm, and structure build their own visual language.
Caxlan, a Tsotsil term used to refer to people outside indigenous communities, explores the cultural exchange between Mexico and the world. The collection reinterprets traditional clothing patterns and geometric silhouettes present since the colonial period, adapting them to a contemporary aesthetic where textile and form acquire a language of their own.
A project presented as part of the exhibition curated by Ana Elena Mallet, which brought together 50 Mexican designers at the Ex Fábrica de San Pedro in Uruapan, Michoacán. Working exclusively with manta (unbleached cotton cloth), our proposal revisited elements present in different collections of the brand, including a coat constructed with scraps of backstrap loom-woven manta and a hand-pleated dress.
The proposal explores fashion as a tool for social expression and questioning gender norms. Inspired by the Tsotsil pronoun "Li," which designates a person without gender distinction, the collection presents genderless pieces developed with textiles woven on a backstrap loom by female artisans from Chiapas. The project incorporates zero-waste principles and plastic reuse to reflect on consumption, waste, and sustainability.
This look explores maximalism through the layering of textures and traditional textile techniques reinterpreted in a monochromatic palette. The piece integrates embroidery, brocades, featherwork, and textiles woven on a backstrap loom, developed in collaboration with artisans from different regions of Mexico, highlighting the technical richness of traditional attire. It won second place in the competition.
Inspired by lichens-organisms that symbolize symbiosis and adaptation-the collection explores the relationship between technology and craftsmanship. Digital prints reinterpret these organic shapes on traditional textiles, combined with wrap silhouettes and experimental cuts. The project proposes a dialogue between technological innovation and contemporary artisanal techniques. It won an honorable mention for best menswear design, chosen by Jean Paul Gaultier.
