#NYFW Corner: Pink Magnolia Brings Mexico to New York Fashion Week with the Nichim Collection

Pink Magolia launches the Nichim  spring-summer 2015 collection straight out of Mexico during New York Fashion Week.


If you know where to look, you can find some gems during Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week. Luckily I only had to look as far as my inbox for the invitation to the debut of the Pink Magnolia  “Nichim” collection.

When I read that the collection was inspired by PINK, my very first question for Paola Wong, the creative director of Pink Magnolia, was “the color pink or the singer?”.

Paola laughed and said, “no, the color” and went on to explane that the inspiration comes from the embroidery and fabric colors from two villages in Chipas, Mexico. She explained that pink is a very prominent color of inspiration in San Juan chenalho & Cancuc, the two villages. She also explained that it was most likely a spiritual connection with regards to the color pink.

The show took place at Hotel Americano which was the perfect setting to walk around and take in the dresses and outfits that were displayed throughout the venue while sipping on Mezcal cocktails.

There was even an after party downstairs with DJ David Katz setting off the celebration.
The Pink Magnolia Spring/Summer 2015 collection called Nichim  is very colorful and bold and fun. I fell in love with the almost ballerina-esque designs of some of the dresses

You can find it online beginning in February 2015 at www.pinkmagnolia.com.mx and they’re currently working to bring the designs here to US boutiques.
