A Brief Introduction about Latin Fashion Week
Sobeidy Vidal, Founder of Latin Fashion Week had a dream to share the style, creativity, and
brilliance of Latin fashion designers in order to demonstrate and generate Latin pride.
Due to many Fashion Historians credit Italian and French designers as being the most influential
and innovative designers but they often forget the impact that Latin Designers have had on
fashion. Pioneer Fashion Designers like Cristobal Balenciaga (1895-1972) who was born in
Guetaria, Spain; Carolina Herrera who was born in Venezuela, Mariano Fortuny (1871) born in
Grenada, Spain, and Oscar de la Renta who was born in the Dominican Republic, all had a
tremendous impact on fashion.
Additionally, contemporary Latin Designers like Narciso Rodriguez who was born in Cuba, Custo
Dalmau who was born in Castalan, Spain, Isabel Toledo born in Havana, Cuba, and Paco
Rabanne born in San Sebastian, Spain are also making a phenomenal impact on fashion in the
current market. These designers show at major international fashion events like New York and
Paris, and their designs are worn by premier cultural influencers like, actresses, models, singers,
and even the current First Lady of US, Michelle Obama.
In essence, Sobeidy created Latin Fashion Week to not only make her dream come true but to
uplift the Latin community and the world through fashion.
Latin Fashion Week was created in the spirit of these illustrious designers. Latin Fashion Week
is a platform that is completely dedicated to excelling the work of Latin and multicultural
inspired designers. The Latin Fashion Week “Boutique Style” event helps designers meet and
interact with influential industry leaders who can help propel their work.
Most important we empower the Latin Fashion World to take pride in itself and share its
treasures (people, culture, unique style) with each other and the world. We celebrate
everything that is “Latin Fashion.”
