Mara Hoffman S/S 2012

The moment we walked into Mara Hoffman‘s Mara Mexicana presentation last week, our hearts literally skipped a beat. It honestly doesn’t get any better than custom prints inspired by Otomi embroidery and huipils, knitted Mexican serapes separates, silk crepe fabrics with neon embroidery, and colorful rope jewelry by Holst & Lee. Throw in some live music by a mariachi band and we’re sold. Now, all we’re waiting for is a home line by the master of prints. Mara, are you listening?

    I am half mexican and there is something to be said about the beautiful prints and intricate embroidery (particularly of the region of Oaxaca).

    And I have been wearing custom-made huipiles (courtesy of my mother’s closet) all summer here in London. They are just so magical.

    I’ll go check out the full presentation. Thanks for the heads up!
