History
Founded in the 1990s by designer Iguana, the brand emerged from the Tianguis Cultural del Chopo, a central hub for Mexican counterculture. It gained significance by translating the Cholo aesthetic into a distinct national fashion movement. Historically, it served as a precursor to contemporary Mexican streetwear, bridging the gap between marginalized street styles and formal design. The brand remains a reference point for the intersection of social identity and textile expression in Mexico.
