Made in Mexico Celebrating Mexico’s Independence

Mexico celebrates its Independence from Spain more than 200 years ago on the eve of September 16th each year. Traditionally, crowds will gather in town plazas and public spaces waiting for the mayor or President to ring the bell of independence and perform “El Grito,” the call of independence “Viva Mexico!”

In honor of Mexico’s heritage this year, Garza Blanca’s Made in Mexico program of events invites guest staying at the 5 Star Puerto Vallarta resort to experience some of the highlights that Mexico has to offer in terms of art, culture, cuisine and music, including art exhibitions, mariachi and special Mexican dishes on the menu.

Special Guests

A number of acclaimed special guests will also feature as part of the celebratory program, including award-winning fashion designer, Aline Moreno, Michelin awarded chef, Carlos Gaytán and musician and DJ, JR.Cutz. What do they all have in common? They were all made in Mexico!

Aline Moreno Fashion Designer

Aline Moreno

Graduate of the Instituto Marangoni Avantgarde College of Art and Fashion in Milan, Italy and winner of the National Fashion Award 2014, Aline Moreno is renowned for combining classic elegance with modern femininity, creating a fusion of haute couture and instinctive urban chic for women who are not afraid of what people think or say.

A true artist, she balances commercial success with creativity, promoting her current collection of designs inspired by the Mexican state of Nayarit that reference the vibrant culture and traditions of the native Huichol communities who revere nature and the cosmos within their artistic creations. Committed to balancing form and creating lightweight designs to match the climate and lifestyles of the Pacific coast, this winter’s collection is destined to be much more feminine.

The collection is based on a palette of black, white and red, with accessories by Miriam Ortega. For the Mexican designer, black represents life and white is associated with the clouds, the combination of which creates a totally unique touch of sophistication and sobriety which is intended to represent contemporary Mexico.

The collection was first showcased in the Cocktail of Fashion, an event that rewards the best of Mexican cinema, and later presented at Intermoda in Guadalajara, Mexico, the biggest fashion industry expo in Latin America, where Moreno opened the 62nd edition.
