my books about the history of fashion, art history and women’s rights.

a fashion designer and human rights defender.
I’m inspired by…
nature (GOD created PURE BEAUTY and I really, really admire that) and art. To me, beauty and art are really important.
The one person who motivates me is…
indigenous women, Iris Apfel, artists, honest people, intelligent people, smart people, wise people.

injustice, discrimination, and poverty.

United Nations in Mexico, in campaigns and women’s rights.
Always…
try to learn, try to be positive. I always try to remember my own goals. I always try to help my company Nahuala help empower women, because we donate part of our profits to indigenous women in Mexico.
Never
give up.
