The Dying Cultural Mexican Fashion

Fashion Week in Mexico is always spirited with designers and collections approaching from all over Latin America. Latinas and Latinos relish the runway with the collections that are always based on the modern touch of the rest of the world's fashion market. Before the onset of modern fashion, Mexico appreciated the blessings that the traditional textile industry have brought to them. Today, however, the textile market is fast dying.

I cannot confide that I am an upholder of tradition and culture. Globalization and modernism have always been useful to the economy of a country. The problem in Mexico is that, because of the adrenaline rush that Fashion Week brings, the cultural fashion style is fast dying. Mexico was an Indian reigned land before Spain dwelled in it. In effect, the cultural mode of living were slowly eliminated from the culture itself. Mexico was vulnerable to loose its national identity just because of a meaningless dress, but needless to say, it is just not a silly dress.

Mexico's cultural fashion market has been back on its feet since its liberation but today, they fear that history may repeat itself. Members of the textile market who have been supplying the whole country with native fibers have been closing shop one by one. Mexicans hope that with the modern fashion's profits, it will help advocate to preserve the cultural where it was based from in the first place.
