About
Paola Hernández is a NYC-based fashion designer, born in Mexico City. Her brand is focused on the expansion of consciousness and the importance of sustainability. Hernández tends to choose natural, biodegradable materials, and her pieces are usually made out of one single component— which is easier to recycle, such as merino wool, cotton or silk. Quality is very important to create pieces that can last a lifetime or can even be passed on to future generations. Everything is designed in NYC and produced locally in the U.S, either in NYC or LA.
Hernández’s main sources of inspiration are yoga, meditation, books, dance, and visual art. Prior to her career in fashion, Paola studied philosophy at Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City, followed by fashion at Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in London. Each season, she creates a collection based on a specific concept which guides the choices of colors, materials, and artwork. In general, Paola Hernández likes collaborating with contemporary artists to create specific patterns for each collection.
This past year, as Hernández became a mother, a source of life, she started shedding everything that was unneeded in her life and nurturing everything that would help her grow and remain centered. As part of this process, as a fashion designer with ten years of experience, Hernández decided to focus on knitwear only. It has always been her favorite category to design, where she can translate her concepts and stories with clarity. This way she can go deep, creating unique sweaters, ponchos, cardigans, and other knits.
