In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re highlighting a few of our extraordinary partners to share their unique points of view. Discover how their heritage has made an impact on them.

Our cultural backgrounds inherently shape our perspectives, so we partnered with two of our expert style advisors, Julianna Trujillo and Paola Ramirez, to share what they’re most proud of about their heritage and how it’s influenced their approaches to style.

“What I love most is how warm, lively, and friendly the people of Colombia are. We’re very family-oriented—we care a lot about unconditional love and family traditions, which makes me proud to consider myself a Latina American!”

“I love the liveliness of our cultures, the fun spirit we’re associated with. Being Mexican, bright colors have always been around me, and it’s something I gravitate to in styling.”

“I believe color has the power to make you feel happy or empowered. We all love a good neutral but adding a pop of color gives outfits a different vibe, whether it’s in a piece of jewelry, a handbag, or shoes.”

After fleeing El Salvador as a refugee, he grew up seeing his mom’s strength and perseverance as she worked as a skilled seamstress to support him and his siblings. Watch how her influence has transformed him into the lauded designer he is today.
