A course by Ximena Corcuera
Ximena grew up in a spontaneous environment surrounded by art and creativity, which led her to overcome her fear of processes and enjoy artistic experimentation as a way of life. From an early age she worked on different projects related to fashion, but it wasn't until later that she discovered that it was her passion. Ximena has more than five years of experience in the world of fashion, trends, experimental design, sustainable fashion, retail, and licenses, which has led her to learn from experts in countries such as Mexico, France, Spain, Brazil, Guatemala, Chile, Argentina, and Ecuador, among others.
She is currently working on her own project, where she seeks to generate cultural experiences responsibly through fashion and demonstrate its power as a channel for expressing ideas in order to connect with each other.
