Hispanics are taking the fashion world by storm! Designers like Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, multi-billion dollar retailers like Zara (the Spanish brand known for affordable style), and celebrities like Eva Mendes who designs a collection for New York & Company are re-defining and re-imagining our fashion world. In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, I’ve put together a collection of items I’m putting on my shopping list this fall from these Latin fashion powerhouses. Hopefully you will, too.
