Mexican Designers Shine at New York Fashion Week with ‘Mexican Pink’ Collection

Mexico was present this Sunday at Fashion Week in New York with a group of designers, led by Benito Santos, who presented a collection inspired by their country, characterized by elegance and femininity.

“Mexican Pink”, which has become an emblem of national identity, is the name of the proposal that he brought to the New York catwalk, as part of the presentation of ONxSET, a platform to bring together designers, which is coming for the fourth year. to the city with the group, mostly Mexicans.

Santos is celebrating the 15 years of his eponymous brand, and dedicates them to Mexico, to highlight its culture, which he has taken to the catwalk on several occasions this year, including a proposal inspired by the charrería.

Her extensive proposal – all pink – is made up of sensual and elegant long dresses that accentuate the waist, very characteristic of her work, most with capes, short ruffled skirts, sets of pants with a jacket or bra, “to empower a woman” who likes to be the center of attention, the famous designer told Efe.

“I like to empower women and that they can continue fighting for that place that we have not given them for a long time due to culture, due to idiosyncrasy, but I think that today they are already occupying the place that they should always have,” she commented.

Santos decanted for tulle, silk, chiffon, lamé, metalized fabric, stonework, feathers, drapery and brocade for his collection in which features a large handcrafted flower, either on the waist or shoulders, and there was no shortage of transparencies.

“With this collection I culminate the celebration of my 15 years. For Mexicans this color has great meaning,” commented the couturier and highlights that it is a color that is in Mexican folklore clothing.

“It is very common for someone in Mexico to tell us I want a pink Mexican dress,” she said prior to her presentation.

For the couturier, this event today opens doors for Latin American designers and shows “all that cultural wealth that allows us to express our folklore, which is so rich. We Latinos are people who vibrate.”

Other Mexicans who brought elegance and their talent to Fashion Week were Iván Gallegos and Davis Márquez, the talent behind the Iann Dey brand, who in just 11 years have managed to make a name for themselves and bring their proposals to the important catwalks in New York, London and Paris.

Her collection inspired by nymphs was characterized by rich rhinestones, draping and transparencies “to highlight that mystical issue of nymphs” and some pieces simulated fins and scales, in a mix of fabrics and there was no lack of a futuristic touch.

The collection consisted of short and long dresses in light gray, indigo blue, gold, deep violet, and among them the combination of leather, handmade, and textile bodices stood out.

“The Iann Dey woman is a woman who does not like to go unnoticed,” said the creatives who say they always want to show the talent of their country “and put its name high” and who have dressed figures such as Naomi Campbell and Paris Hilton.

Also on the ONxSet catwalk was Manuel Tiscareno, who has stood out in particular for his wedding dresses, with which he closed his presentation today with a modern version of that very special piece, which consisted of a white jacket at the waist and a wide skirt with train.

There were also pieces made of leather and many transparencies in the variety of proposals, youthful, fresh and always elegant.

According to Denise Carranza, creator behind ONxSET, the objective of the event is to give the opportunity to Mexican and Latin American designers to have a platform where they can stand out internationally, as well as connect them with buyers from department stores and important fashion magazines and international media. .
