HOME CEREMONYA RE-EVOLUCIÓN LA LUCHA  
CEREMONYAMexican designer Emilio Poiré's thesis collection “CEREMONYA” seeks to expose the contradictions of what it is to be Latin American and Queer. Poiré believes the pursuit of understanding ourselves through nationality and gender remains a crucial journey. Merging perspectives through symbolism and a strong connection to artisanal techniques, deconstruction and queerness become a framework of reconciliation for our undefinable selves.

CEREMONYA is proudly built alongside Mexican artisans and indigenous communities from the Chiapas Highlands through a year-long collaboration and relationship.
