Whether it’s Latin Heritage Month or any other time throughout the year, Latin designers and fashion creatives are working to open doors for the next crop of creatives with ties to the region.

“Another thing that gets me excited is to see how companies and brands like Make Up For Ever, Chanel Beauty, Caudalié, Bobbi Brown, Ceremonia and Benefit are starting to support our project more and more because they care about the Latin market,” she added.

“My favorite day is always the photoshoot that we do together. I love seeing their eyes when they see the results on the screen and the ideas that we worked on during the weekend become a reality,” said Tovar, whose work has appeared in Vogue Mexico & Latin America, Harper’s Bazaar and L’Officiel. “I personally enjoy answering all their great questions without filters and sharing as much as I can from this industry that can feel very intimidating when you are on the other side.

“I once read somewhere an analogy saying that the fashion industry is a table with a few seats for the same people to get the best meals and that everyone else will pick up the leftovers from the floor… As cruel as that sounds, that’s how I felt when I moved to New York City 11 years ago,” he said. “Up to January of 2018 the most coveted fashion magazines covers and ad campaigns were photographed by the same circle of top photographers.

“There is not much you can actually read or listen to about how the fashion industry works in the real world so I’m excited to get to know the panelists and listen to their stories and how they got to where they are now,” said the young designer, who ultimately wants to create her own brand.“It’s important to make consumers feel seen and heard, we want to spend money and support brands that are inclusive not exclusive,” Rojo said.
