GUATEMALA CITY, GUATEMALA – August 22, 2025
Art Hearts Fashion, the globally renowned platform at the forefront of fashion, art, and culture, made its highly anticipated debut in Guatemala on August 22nd. The event marked a milestone for the country, weaving together the vibrant traditions of local indigenous design with the innovative expressions of international couture.
At the heart of this celebration was designer Chavez Inc., an indigenous creative voice who championed Art Hearts Fashion’s arrival in Guatemala. Chavez’s vision to spotlight Guatemalan culture and artistry resonated powerfully throughout the evening. Alongside him, Textiles D’La Rossa, a designer known for transforming local textiles into contemporary high fashion, brought the soul of Guatemala’s artisanal heritage to the runway, honoring generations of craftsmanship while pushing boundaries for the future.
The evening unfolded with seven other international designers, each bringing their own story and cultural narrative to the stage. From Los Angeles came Mister Triple X, the edgy and iconic label of Art Hearts Fashion President Erik Rosete, whose daring aesthetic set the tone for the evening. Celebrity-favorite Giannina Azar, known for her glamorous red-carpet couture, dazzled with striking creations. German powerhouse Pia Bolte electrified the runway with her avant-garde edge, while Latin designers Idol Jose and Maribel Julcahuanca added diverse voices and styles to the showcase. U.S. Menswear brand Henri Costa showcased refined tailoring with a modern twist, highlighting the evolution of contemporary men’s fashion. Adding a touch of Brazilian brilliance, Lybethras, the internationally acclaimed label celebrated for its sophisticated and sensual beachwear, brought the spirit of Rio de Janeiro to the Guatemalan stage.
In addition to the incredible lineup of designers, Art Hearts Fashion welcomed international models to the runway, including Miss Grand Guatemala 2025, Miss Supranational 2025, Miss Grand Colombia 2025, and Miss Peru USA 2022. These global pageant winners and titleholders brought an elevated level of glamour and international flair to the shows, highlighting the worldwide reach of Art Hearts Fashion and celebrating the diversity and beauty that continues to define its runways.
“Guatemala is a country overflowing with creativity, talent, and cultural richness,” said Erik Rosete, Founder and President of Art Hearts Fashion. “It was an honor to bring our international platform here and share the stage with incredible indigenous and Latin designers whose voices deserve the world’s spotlight.”
With fashion as the bridge, the night highlighted Guatemala as a rising destination for cultural exchange and artistic innovation. Beyond the runway, the event served as a testament to Art Hearts Fashion’s mission of empowering diverse voices, celebrating heritage, and amplifying talent across the globe.
