What is your favorite Hola Baby t-shirt?
It’s a tie I love the Fresona shirt, not only is the design delicioso let’s face it, I’m 100% Fresona myself. For the boys I love El Mero Mero I can just see some cutie pie sporting it on the dance floor at Studio 54, or maybe the nursery school playground, either one.
What was your favorite t-shirt growing up?
“Anything Boys Can Do, Girls Can Do Better” I even remember buying it, my sister and I were with my Mom at this store with a thousand iron-on’s displayed on the wall. I loved picking out my own shirt, it was light green, the iron-on had a boy and a girl fishing on a log, and there was glitter in the background, I wore it all summer, it was so cool and so 70’s.

Vintage, Retro, Mexico (duh,) my Mom, H&M, Zara and Project Runway

Carmen Lomas Garza because a long time ago I was that girl looking up at the moon and the stars wondering and dreaming, and because her art is full of color and vida.

Salma Hayek , I think she is the perfect example of how a woman can be intelligent and beautiful at the same time. Rodo Padilla, mexican sculptor, I love the way he captures the folklore in one piece of art. Shakira , I like her music very much, but what I like the most is her humbleness. Film directors Alfonso Cuarón and Guillermo del Toro, for recreating my favorite movie characters and building fantastic worlds
