Mexico City's emerging fashion scene is unlike any other, and one of the most exciting independent designers coming out the Mexican capital is Paloma Lira. Founded in 2012, Paloma Lira's fashion draws inspirations from the '60s, '70s and '80s, but it's unmistakably on the pulse of what's trending now. The brand also prides itself in its timeless pieces that boldly embrace gender expression and bold identities. Think of it as coquette sensibilities meeting Bushwick grunge.
Paloma Lira's clothes have been worn by the likes of Avril Lavigne, Lana del Rey and most recently, Reneé Rapp at the All Things Go Festival. Make sure you take the opportunity to shop the brand in person at Tótem Tienda, located on 168 Ludlow St in the Lower East Side. The pop-up is on site from October 3-11.
