The first edition of the year of the Mexican fashion week arrives from April 26 to 28 in Jalisco and will be an unmissable event.
Nothing makes more sense than the upcoming return of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week to Guadalajara, Jalisco. A cradle city of writers, artists, architects, chefs and fashion designers who, embraced by the idiosyncrasies of the place, shape the contemporary cultural scene of the capital that has a unique universal look.
Under this premise, it is in the city of Tapatía where the official fashion platform in Mexico –which has stood tall and innovating the local industry since 2007– begins the course of the Mexican fashion calendar, during the days that go from April 26 to 28, in order to celebrate the Fall-Winter 2023 catwalks. This season being the first of two editions planned for this year. The next one will happen in October, where we will see the Spring-Summer 2023 collections in Mexico City.
“This edition is based on a fashion look at the local periphery and the Guadalajara tradition,” declares the platform, and starts with the launch of the campaign, Metropolis, presented with a series of images starring the Ale models . Infante and Ale Aceves, who wear Bulgari jewelry and pieces from the Guadalajara designers that make up the edition.
