WHAT SHE’SWEARING:
Co on dress and shawl by
Dosa; jewelry by Mexican
designer Natalia Toledo
ON THE LOCAL STYLE:
Oaxaca is all about inclu-
sion, integration and
collaboration. There is a
love affair with locality and
the poetics of the hand-
made, in everything from
art and architecture to food
and fashion.”
WHERE TO SHOP IN OAXACA:
Go to Los Baúles de Juana
Cata for exquisite local
textiles, and La Bonetera for
contemporary fashion with
a strong Mexican flavor.
And at Tienda Q, where I
bought this outfit, I always
find unique and tasteful
items by artists and design-
ers working locally but
thinking globally.”
PERSONAL AESTHETIC:
I tend toward subtle remind-
ers of the cultural richness
that Oaxaca is famous for.
My jewelry, for instance, is
an important part of my
wardrobe because most
of it was made by fine
local artisans that I’m
very proud of.”
