Carla Fernandez is a Mexican Fashion Designer and the founder of Taller Flora.

Taller Flora is Carla Fernandez’s demi couture line, co-designed by and using the delicate craftsmanship of Mexican artisans. By supporting their immense creativity, their handwork as well as their ideas, this line seeks to prevent the extinction of the Mexican textile tradition.

However, some of these beautiful garments take months to complete. This is not exactly following today’s fast-paced fashion world. To be able to work and grow as a fashion label Carla Fernandez created another, a prêt-à-porter line. This line is fabricated industrially using high quality materials, and–of course–inspired by Mexico.

Carla Fernandez takes her inspiration from traditional Mexican garments, which are built up out of squares and rectangles. Following this ‘DNA’ of Mexican tailoring, Carla Fernandez’s labels have a distinct geometric style.

Sebastián Lara is a multidisciplinary Industrial Designer, based in Mexico. He is Co-owner and Co-director of Eos México Studio, one of the most renown design studios in México.

 He is in a constant search for images and formal resources that offer esthetic proposals for objects and inert spaces that yearn for a little bit of “life”.

 When shaping an object, he does not want it to be a pretentious design, he’d rather have the user value and enjoy the benefits of a simple life.

 He has been awarded multiple design awards and his creations have been showcased in various forums of USA, Mexico and Europe.

He infuses his creations with a strong, playful and casual personality.
