I'm the Editorial Director of Vogue Latin America—7 Brands I'm Excited About RN

As a fashion editor of Paraguayan descent, one of my favorite parts of the job is discovering fashion brands and designers from Latin America that really excite me. Whether they're emerging or established, I love to learn about the backstory, the techniques, and the creative ideas behind a designer's unique work and then share my discoveries with you, our dear readers!
I'm thankfully always getting plenty of brand recommendations from friends, colleagues, and Instagram, of course. In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, I reached out to Karla Martinez de Salas, the head of editorial content at Vogue Mexico and Latin America, for inspiration and asked her to share the Latin American brands she's loving right now. I mean, who better to share their insight on the subject? After all, Martinez de Salas is immersed in the Latin fashion world. She was honored by Mexico's Fashion Digital Awards for best editorial content and was recently included in the Business of Fashion U.S.'s list of the top 500 international fashion leaders.
