In 2019, the quickest way to get fashion ~inspo~ is by douple tapping your way through an Instagram feed. There are hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of fashion accounts to follow, but here at HOLA! USA we like to shed a spotlight on up-and-coming Latinx designers.
Together with Miami fashion incubator Stitch Lab, HOLA! USA threw a swanky soirée in the 305 to help promote these Latinx designers that not only have an eye for what's en vogue, but also practice sustainable fashion.
"Hola! USA is proud to be the official media partner of Stitchlab Miami. We share the common mission of supporting Latinx talent and raising awareness of all the many and remarkable contributions our community is making from fashion to business," Publisher of HOLA! USA Sylvia Banderas says.
"The best part is that not only are these designers incredibly talented, they are also committed to sustainability and their compensation to the artisans they partner with in creating these unique and beautiful pieces."
From beachwear and everyday wear to accessories, the following designers are a must-follow on Instagram because they are the future trend.
Maygel Coronel

It's one thing to wear a swimsuit; it's another thing to wear a swimsuit designed by Maygel Coronel. The Colombian stunner has the usual two-piece bikinis, but it's her unique shoulder-poofed and eclectically-designed designs that look more like water-proof gala gowns than they do swimsuits.

Simplicity is key, especially when it comes to accessorizing an outfit. Andrea Camacho's luxury handbag brand Camellét is actual proof that less is more. With a background in Italian leather goods, each piece is made with authentic Italian leather and then handcrafted in Colombia. You can style them as crossbody bags or clutches, and whatever you choose, trust that it will look mega stylish.

@amodomiostore
A Modo Mio translates to "My Way" or "My Style" and that's exactly what each piece subtly embodies. Colombian designer Francesca Sesana has a variety of items to choose from. There are intricately-patterned camo trenchs, bejeweled denim and of course, statement tees, because nothing says "My Way" than a simple jeans and t-shirt combo.

Some people like bracelets and others love earrings. If you're in the latter group, then revamp your earring collection with Natali Hoyos' jewelry line. She takes hoops to another level, adding striking embellishments that come in one size only: oversized.
