“I was thinking of Chinese/Spanish Mestizas of the past and how they would dress up today. The look is Hispanic, elaborated with fine details, which is a rich mixture east and west. And as you can see, they’re totally wearable for big parties and in tune with the global trends today,” Rodriguez reveals.
