Antonio’s childhood dream was to be a star. Growing up in the ‘70s, Antonio loved listening to the music of Donna Summer and Barry White. “I used to imagine arriving in a sleek, black limousine at Studio 54 clad in Halston, Pierre Cardin, or Yves Saint Laurent, where I’d dance the night away and mingle with Andy Warhol, Liza Minelli, and all the glamorous individuals,” he reminisces. Born and raised in Mexico City, Antonio pursued Arts at La Esmeralda School of the Arts where Frida Kahlo once studied. He migrated to America and settled in San Francisco during the ‘90s. The minute he stepped on US soil, Antonio felt that this was the place he could call home. “San Francisco pulsated with energy and creativity, shaping me as an artist…

Seeking an outlet for her creative impulses after long days immersed in technology, PK transformed her extensive collection of…
I pressed the elevator button to the 14th floor. Unlike other designers’ showrooms, whose work samples are seen in the display window, Ehrran Montoya’s atelier only accepts appointments to see his gowns. The room was only 20 square meters, with the mannequins and big gowns on the side. Our primary source of light would be the transparent half-body window. After our short talk, he sat down and prepared to work on his table. He pulled out his sketch pad and opened a blank page. He then adjusted his table and chair to make room for the camera.
