Traditional clothes women

Mexican clothing is a interesting topic. Mexico's traditional clothing is very colorful. Although Mexican clothes nowadays do not differ much from what we wear here in Europe and North America, their traditional dress is quite different. Traditional Mexican clothes were designed to keep people cool in the hot climate that can be found in the deserts to the north to the jungles in the south.

Traditional clothes men

Typically men´s clothing is not as colorful as women´s. In fact, typical pre-Columbian clothing is hard to find today. This is because men often went with little or no clothing using mainly a sarape in the certain areas of Mexico. When the Spanish arrived in Mexico, one of the first things they did was to clothe men and getting them to wear pants and shirts.

Mexico's Designer clothes

Macario Jiménez

Perhaps one of the biggest names in Mexican design, Jiménez launched his brand in 1994, and soon, women fell in love with his sophisticated creations. By designing ultra-feminine silhouettes and paying close attention to detail, Jiménez has become a favorite among fashionistas both in Mexico and abroad.

Lorena Saravia

After a stint in Macario Jiménez’s workshop and four years in fashion school in Barcelona, this young talent debuted her brand with a fall/winter collection in 2010 and won Vogue Mexico’s Who’s On Next Contest in 2013. Her sophisticated, minimal and modern designs are available at her studio in Colonia Roma, and you can also find her leather accessories in Saks Fifth Avenue Mexico.

Alejandra Quesada

Inspired by her home country, by stories, movies and books, this playful designer creates pieces that explore the girl vs. woman duality that all modern females possess. Her adventurous, colorful designs can be found in stores like 180 Shop and will have their own boutique in 2015.

Carla Fernández

Mexico’s fascinating indigenous cultures have a huge influence in this designer’s modern collections, which usually feature traditional patterns and lively colors. But Fernández doesn’t just look to traditional textiles for inspiration, she actually supports the indigenous communities’ legacy through her Taller Flora workshop, which promotes eco-friendly production and economic development.

Pineda Covalín

Cristina Pineda and Ricardo Covalín have conquered Mexico and beyond with their eclectic, bright, bold and beautiful silk designs. Their ties, scarves and blouses are inspired by the colors and shapes of pre-Hispanic Mexico, as well as its myths and legends. The power duo have also propelled young designers, like Daniel Andrade and Jorge Duque, by inviting them onboard as creative directors for a season.

HOW IS STYLE DIFFERENT HERE THAN IN OTHER CITIES?

Trends get to us a lot later than in New York or Paris or Tokyo. But women now are creating their own style thanks to inspiration from the Internet.

DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE.

I base everything above all else on my emotions. If one day I’m more down and dark, I’ll wear all black. Another day I might want to look more like a ballerina, so I’ll wear roses and flowers in my hair, Gatsby style. And sometimes I’ll be more rustic Mexican and I’ll dress more like Frida Kahlo, with long dresses and flowers in my hair.
