Our first movie night of the year was a HUGE success! We loved having our friend Alicia Layfield of Casa Layfield host our selection of latin fashion documentary short films!

If you weren't able to make in in person, don't worry! Here are the links to all the films that we showed, AND scroll to the end because I've included two more selections that I LOVE, but we couldn't include because of time! 

Don't forget, we have our movie nights the third Tuesday of every month, so please join us!

'Dior Metamorphosis:' The Making-of Dior Cruise 2024 | 59:14 minutes

Dior's YouTube game recently is beautiful and gives such a glimpse into the craft and amount of time it takes to make each of their collections. Their collaboration with Mexican artisians for the Cruise 2024 collection carries such meaning and richness. I'm so inspired by how Maria Grazia Chiuri weaves story through her collections and textiles. 

The Day Before: Narciso Rodriguez, Season 2, Ep. 4

I really wanted to show this glimpse into Narciso's world, but we didn't have enough time. I love a good behind the scenes before a fashion show and this one is no exception!
