Diego Zuñiga: Cripto Unconcealed in Autumn/Winter 2010

Diego Zuñiga is a young Mexican designer from Tijuana Baja, which is situated on the border of Mexico and California.

With a population of nearly 1.5 million inhabitants, Tijuana Baja is one of the fastest growing cities in the country.

The area has a fascinating history, having been first inhabited by the Native American Kumeyaay, a tribe of hunter gatherers.

Today, Tijuana Baja offers some interesting architecture, which, no wonder, appears in the creative collections of Diego Zuñiga .

For autumn/winter 2010, Diego has prepared a collection entitled “Cripto,” which ‘conceals’ (according to the etymology of the word) fortitude yet a dark, almost mysterious, architectural design.

Have a look at the entire collection here.
