In the complex fight against cultural appropriation in the fashion industry, the Secretary of Culture of Mexico, Alejandra Fraustro, is in the front row.In three years since she was named, Fraustro has written protest letters to many international designers accusing them of copying designs of Mexican indigenous peoples: Carolina Herrera, Isabel Marant, Louis Vouitton, Zara, and others.Something is achieving with this strategy: this year Nike asked him to advise them to make a new tennis line in honor of the dead.Fraustro opened a new symbol in the difficult fight: 'Original', a four -day fashion exhibition in the former presidential residence of the capital, Los Pinos, in which those in the center are neither Herrera nor Mara..In the center of the catwalk, this time, there are the artisanal textiles of Mexico.
