Bandidos comes as a salvation & an impactful statement for all young Mexican independent fashion designers. We live in a country that is still lives under conservative views around fashion and clothing in general. Genderless apparel is hardly a reality in our close-minded society, following a different style than what the regionally imposed uniform dictates us to wear is an act of bravery & truly a powerful social statement. Bandidos (Bandits in spanish) explores the gender scope of clothing with the ultimate hope of breaking the barriers we have grown to live with & as a result, dissengage from them completely. Independent local designer Patricio Zorilla introduces his brand which challenges the conventional ideals of clothing. Fashion is self expression & individual liberation, it should never be restrained or limited, censured or prohibited. Throughout 2021-2022 fluidity has flourished in our country & we intend to keep it going.
