Carla Fernández is a Mexico City-based fashion house with global influence. Through collaborations with indigenous and mestizo communities, the work has led to the Western re-education of artisan techniques as luxury fashion and shifted public policy to better serve and protect these talented artists and designers. Meet Carla herself and hear why she believes fashion is not ephemeral, but rather a language we use to communicate across time, cultures and experiences

HERITAGE | CARLA FERNÁNDEZ: Influencing policy & perception through fashion

Who are we? Some of us look to our past as well as our present to answer that question. We spoke to four brands (UnoEth, Nazzal Studios, House of Aama, and Dendezeiro) who are adding to the public archives with creations rooted in history, heritage, identity, and most of all, power. If fashion is a language (and we believe it is), their output is expanding our lexicon of self-expression and our collective understanding of the experiences that ripple across generations and make us who we are. Join us to see how stories are spun into style.

ANCESTRY | Reflections with Lola and Frankie

ANCESTRY | Dendezeiro: Bahia-born brand shows brega is beautiful

Akua Shabaka, along with her mother, Rebecca Henry, established House of Aama in 2015. Akua and her mother are world builders and weavers of visual stories. They create stunning, often ethereal collections like Salt Water, that introduced a fictional Black resort called Camp Aama, and like Sun Records, inspired by Akua’s father’s life. House of Aama is the output of Akua digging into her past (culture, identity, heritage) and sitting in her present. The brand and the pieces become a form of spiritual expression that add to the public archive. Hear how Akua and her mother quickly grew their personal project into an in-demand business. You’ll be as in awe as we were.
