Today, Friday, January 27. 2023, a press conference took place at Committee of Tourism and Conventions (COTUCO) in Tijuana facilities where they revealed information about the next presentation of Tijuana native designer Ivette Alaniz at Paris Fashion Week

At the conference the following people were present: Licentiate Juan de Marcia, Secretary of Economy and Innovation of Baja California, businessman Kurt Honold Morales; Secretary of the Committee of Tourism and Conventions of Tijuana, Dr. Karim Chalita Rodríguez; Director of Arte Modelos, René Tamayo, and designer Ivette Alaniz.

When this conference began, Dr. Karim stated the importance of this Tijuana native designer’s participation in Paris as it was significantly important, especially in the last few days, where there has been a lot of negativity. That is why it is so positive being able to show the rest of the world something completely different of what Tijuana is all about and the talent that is born and develops in the border city.

For his part, the Secretary of Economy and Innovation of Baja California stated that, since the beginning of the administration led by governor Marina del Pilar, projects that are a result of the individual talent by Baja Californians have been given greater importance. He stated that Ivette’s presentation in Paris is an example for everyone about perseverance and effort, and that is precisely what the state government is trying to support.

Meanwhile, designer Ivette Alaniz stated that Paris is very meaningful for her, as it means returning to her beginnings. She was only 17 years old when one of her designs was exhibited in New York; the dress was embroidered with a picture of the Eiffel Tower on its back. That 30-year-old incident made the designer choose to have her presentation in Paris, instead of other fashion shows in the world.

Ivette Alaniz is a fashion designer who has managed, after a career of 30 years, to participate in the most important events in the world. Her pieces have been in places like Russia, Fashion Week at Vancouver, Canada, and she has participated in two occasions in New York and Palm Springs. Her latest event is Paris City Fashion Week.
