It spotlights designers from Latin American countries, as well as designers of Latin American heritage living and working in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> who are often referred to as Hispanic, Latino\/Latina, or the gender-neutral term Latinx.<\/p>\n<p>For decades, fashion designers of Latin American descent, such as <span class=\"xn-person\">Carolina Herrera<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-person\">Oscar de la Renta<\/span>, Alexandre Herchcovitch, <span class=\"xn-person\">Edmundo Castillo<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-person\">Victor Alfaro<\/span>, and <span class=\"xn-person\">Haider Ackermann<\/span>, have been central figures of the fashion industry. Their successes have paved the way for new generations of talented designers, including <span class=\"xn-person\">Gabriela Hearst<\/span>, Jonathan Cohen,Romina Cardillo of Nous Etudions, <span class=\"xn-person\">Willy Chavarria<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-person\">Raul Lopez<\/span> of LUAR, and <span class=\"xn-person\">Kika Vargas<\/span>. These represent but a few of the emerging designers who are making their mark on the global scene by helming fashion houses, winning prestigious awards, and dressing celebrity clients.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition is thematically organized into sections that address art, craftsmanship, elegance, gender, Indigenous heritage, politics, popular culture, and sustainability. It seeks to challenge stereotypes about fashion by designers of Latin American heritage, moving away from a notion of a singular Latin American style and drawing attention to the diversity of talent.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition includes brands from more than ten countries including 1\/8 Takamura (M\u00e9xico), Barrag\u00e1n (M\u00e9xico) <span class=\"xn-person\">Suki Cohen<\/span> (<span class=\"xn-location\">Colombia<\/span>), <span class=\"xn-person\">Juan de la Paz<\/span> (<span class=\"xn-location\">Bolivia<\/span>), <span class=\"xn-person\">Jorge Duque<\/span> (<span class=\"xn-location\">Colombia<\/span>), Escvdo (Per\u00fa), Gypsy Sport (<span class=\"xn-location\">United States<\/span>), Julia y Renata (M\u00e9xico), <span class=\"xn-person\">Carlos Miele<\/span> (<span class=\"xn-location\">Brazil<\/span>), <span class=\"xn-person\">Johanna Ortiz<\/span> (<span class=\"xn-location\">Colombia<\/span>), PatBO (<span class=\"xn-location\">Brazil<\/span>), <span class=\"xn-person\">Ricardo Seco<\/span> (M\u00e9xico), <span class=\"xn-person\">Yliana Yepez<\/span> (<span class=\"xn-location\">Venezuela<\/span>) and many more.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>\u00a1Moda Hoy!
