In only two years, designer
Paola Hernandez has exploded across the Mexican fashion scene. Already featured in spreads in Spanish language
Elle,
Marie Claire, and
Harper€™s Bazaar, among others, the 25-year-old designer is a south of the border phenom. Think of her as
Mexico€™s Christian Siriano - a young designer with a mature, avante garde sensibility beyond her years. Which is why I€™m so excited to be kicking off our new "Next Big Thing" feature with Paola! €œIt is an honor to be the first Next Big Thing,€� Paola tells Stylehive. €œI love my work and sharing it with others. So it is always an honor to be appreciated.€� Click READ MORE to find out more about Paola, WATCH VIDEO for her Spring/Summer 2008 collection, and SEE SLIDESHOW for pieces from her Fall/Winter collection.
