About Caravana Americana
Since 2016, Caravana Americana has represented over 300 brands through its fourteen face-to-face events in Mexico City and two virtual events during the pandemic. The event aims to promote Latin American designers toward professionalization, allowing them to compete internationally and expose them to new global markets through a selective call for national and international buyers from North and South America, Europe, and Australia.
Caravana Americana has been globally recognized for its high level of curation and its exclusive selection of fashion and object proposals. Its founders, Gina Barrios and Alessandro Cerutti, were recognized in 2022 by The Business of Fashion BoF500 as the Mexican representatives of those who shape the fashion industry in the world. Additionally, as part of their initiatives, they launched Caravana Destination in 2021, traveling through Mexico to open new business opportunities for brands and bring audiences closer to the cultural wealth of contemporary design in the region. The first editions of Caravana Destination took place in Los Cabos, Baja California. The group also promotes design through physical stores called LAGO and DECO, which feature some of the most important brands in Latin America's fashion and home design industry.
