Julia y Renata Fall/Winter 2006, Mexico City

Fri 07 Apr 2006

First up was Julia y Renata, a sister-sister duo whose show opened with singer Ely Guerra blaring a ballad in the middle of the runway. "Everyone loves her," said Spot Magazine's Enrique Rubio, "but she is not a pop singer; she's like Mexican indie rock." As for the clothes, they were Mexican indie chic—dusty pastel satins bent into ballooning skirts and swishy, sexy bows like the Mad Hatter's cravat gone femme. Models wiped imaginary tears from their faces as they made their runway procession. "But they're beautiful dresses," remarked socialite Barbara Coppel, "so what's there to be sad about?"

I like it! Kind of YSL-ish when Tom Ford was their designer. Thank you for posting!

i don't like how the clothes look on the pics, it looked 1000 times better on the runway than the pics.

i always find a look or two that i like from their collections but overall, their interpretation of trends seems quite childish and a little abusive to me.
however, i have to give them some credit for bringing something refreshing among the disaster Fashion Week Mexico used to be and well...still is.
they played antony & the johnsons last season...which was lovely for a change.
