The show has spanned the years, with local models showcasing extravagant dresses and the latest fashion designs from visiting designers. Considered an integral part of the fabric of Laredo, fashion continues to grow, and local fashionistas pay attention to their own work.

Jude Hinojosa, a student at Central Saint Martins Masters Fashion Program in London, has been selected as one of five students whose work will be featured in Dr. Martens’ “All Access Summer” campaign.

And they saw a partnership between Dreamers Photography School and Avanti on the streets of Laredo. According to Avanti director Laura Cervantes, the photo shoot was part of a course where the models created different outfits and costume themes based on the rock concept. The theme is good with the lifestyle of bikers, which came from the cooperation with many motorcycle groups.

Cervantes is the director of both Laredo and Houston Fashion Week, which is important for modeling and fashion in the border area. As New York has strict precedents, local models can showcase the collections of international designers visiting Laredo Fashion Week this August.
