The Anahuacalli Museum is one of the most iconic spots in Mexico City, a place created by Diego Rivera not only to rescue pre-Colombian heritage but also to create a refuge for the arts. It was an ideal venue for Kris Goyri, the Mexican designer well known for his beautiful use of color.
Goyri was one of many creatives who faced challenges through the quarantines, but if he was inside, his mind was outdoors. Eager to take back some of the life we missed during these last months, he designed a rainbow of possibilities; the fashion, music, and dance created a show to remember.
In shades that ranged from soft lime through powerful pink, Goyri showed dresses in silhouettes as light as clouds. Voluminous sleeves and daring V lines were an important part of their construction, as were waistlines defined through a dynamic belt or coil. The collection was about showing off the legs, shoulders, and back, and there was both dynamism and femininity in the clothes.
When the show was finished, the models started dancing, showing that whatever the situation or atmosphere, there’s always an excuse to kick up your heels. It’s one more reason to be excited for next spring.
