On September 8th, hundreds of notable attendees will gather at Manhattan’s landmark Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum to witness the incredible platform along with Estefan Enterprises, Inc. present the thrilling work of designers Alvin Valley, Laura Garcia, Nabys Vielman, and Cesar Galindo.

Laura Garcia’s designs will come to life

The collections will hit the runway in the hallow halls of the art institute with featured performances from Los Rabanes and DJ Hex Hector.

Cesar Galindo will showcase his latest collection

The grand talents of all involved will showcase a movement that highlights the work of some of the most prolific Latino artisans in the world today. And, to add to the profound experience, the producers will take nearly unheard-of measures to appropriately make sure that each worker – not just designers and models, but also behind the scenes hair and make-up artists are financially compensated for the show. Highlighting a deep appreciation for the art world and fashion industry, Estefan and Consuelo are making waves during NYFW that will be positively felt around the planet that dazzle with much-needed levels of inclusivity.
