In honor of Fashion Week in Mexico City (again), the above image is from the personal archive of artist and academic Mariana Botey, a native of Mexico City and a graduate of St. Martins, from her fall 1997 collection "The Invisible College," as presented in London. The collection is one of the earliest in contemporary couture that utilized indigenous Mexican motifs on the runway.
Here in D.F. in fall 2008, Marvin y Quetzal presents on Wednesday the last collection that the late Quetzal Rangel collaborated on with partner Marvin Duran. Fashion Week is at Campo Marte, in Chapultepec.
