DEVENIR
SS27
Presenting DEVENIR, the macro collection by undergraduate students from the Fashion and Sustainable Textile Design program at Universidad Iberoamericana CDMX, IBERO. Comprising eighteen distinct yet interconnected looks, the collection explores the idea of constant transformation through themes of identity, fear, memory, nature, and resilience. Using sculptural forms, rich textures, and unconventional materials, DEVENIR reveals that change is not an end, but a continuous process of becoming.
Look 1. Maria Pena - Coexistir
Inspired by the acceptance of living between two cultures, this look represents the moment when contrast no longer feels like division and transforms into identity; crafted from market bags, it incorporates an everyday element of Mexican culture to reflect how different origins can coexist within a single identity.
Look 2. Miranda Colín Vázquez - Parálisis
Inspired by sleep paralysis, this look transforms fantasy into nightmare through dramatic volumes, cyanotype-printed lace textures, and a hand-painted latex bodice that blurs the line between comfort, familiarity, and unsettling surrealism.
Look 3. Sofia Meszaros Cervantes - Entre Raíces y Mareas
Inspired by the connection between the human body and the natural world, this handcrafted look uses glass beads and fluid textures to reflect the idea that nature mirrors our own anatomy, celebrating growth, resilience, and interconnectedness.
Look 4. Lorena Méndez González - La piel del diablo
Inspired by humanity's evolving image of the devil, this look explores how fear and collective imagination shape our perception of evil through sculptural molded leather and slashed textures.
Look 5. Lorenza Grajales Anzaldúa - Morfosis
Inspired by the emotional tension between freedom and confinement before marriage, this look uses translucent volumes and layered earthy tones to explore the balance between personal identity, commitment, and the uncertainty of a new beginning.
Look 6. Naia Ramírez - Marea
Inspired by life's continuous rhythms, Marea combines a sculptural hand-dyed rope bodice with a printed organza skirt to express how movement continuously gathers, transforms, and unfolds, embodying the ever-changing nature of life's cycles.
Look 7 Karla Barreiro - Distorsión
Inspired by the deformation and putrefaction of the body after death, this look embodies the most visceral stage of decomposition through handcrafted macramé, hand-dyed wool, and crochet techniques that evoke the transformation of matter.
Look 8. Ginna Castro - Vacio
Vacío is inspired by the emotional exhaustion that transforms a person when everything feels wrong, using reclaimed bicycle rubber as the main material to create a collapsed, protective silhouette that reflects inner emptiness, tension, and psychological wear.
Look 9 Maria Pena - Intersección
Inspired by the personal experience of arriving in a country that is not your own, this look combines a skirt made from “chile de árbol” (dried chili peppers) and a corset crafted from a shawl inherited from my grandmother, representing the encounter between Mexico and Spain.
Look 10. Karla Fernanda Cervantes - Latencia
Inspired by biodynamic philosophy, specifically root days, this design explores the invisible connections between matter, time, and energy, expressed through hand-dyed textiles and over 50 individually woven pieces, interlaced to form an organic structure
.
Look 11. Ricardo Herrera Vázquez - Estabilidad
The Estabilidad suit embodies the illusion of permanence before the fall, combining architectural tailoring, hand-sewn feathers, tweed, and earthy tones to express security, tradition, and the quiet desire to remain grounded before everything changes.
Look 12. Emilio Ballesteros Sánchez - Machina
Exploring the dichotomy between fragility and strength, this look combines silk organza, faux leather, steel cables, and rust-dyed denim with a sculptural metal structure that cradles the monsters humanity has left behind.
Look 13. Michelle Bensusan Neri - Suspensión
Inspired by the suspended moment before impact, Suspensión explores the tension between protection and vulnerability through seat belts and a translucent organza dress, symbolizing interrupted futures and unrealized possibilities.
Look 14. Lorena Méndez González - Ideas muertas
Inspired by the transformation of dark thoughts into creativity, this look combines a 3D-printed mask inspired by classical marble sculptures with sculptural droplets, reflecting the coexistence of ideas and the ever-changing nature of the human mind.
Look 15. Alexis Gonzalez Castillo - QUIEBRE
QUIEBRE explores the visual noise that overflows the streets of Iztapalapa, showing the hostility and discomfort caused by these elements from a silhouette that warns of danger, while a network of tires supports the weight of inhabiting a city where chaos and noise become landscapes.
Look 16. Paola Colín Quiroz - Psique
Inspired by fear as a psychological barrier, this look uses an inflated silhouette and projective test-inspired prints to explore how personal experiences, traumas, and attachments shape our perception of reality.
Look 17. Daniela Olivares Galván - Amatista
Inspired by the organic shapes of blown glass, this look captures its fluidity through sculptural silhouettes, creating a wearable work of art while celebrating the power of color as a source of emotion, joy, and life.
Look 18. Juan Octavio Domínguez Torres - Perdoname Madre
Inspired by the street altars of Eastern Mexico City, this look reimagines the silhouette of the Virgin through handcrafted plastic, transforming an ordinary material into a tribute to contemporary Mexican and Latin American faith.
