Summary

This week, to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, The Garcia Twins take their show on the road to bring you backstage at the Estilo-X, the first 1 Latinx Fashion show in Napa Valley!

They’re joined by fashion designers Jessica Silva and Janet Medina, event organizer Stefany Hernandez, and her Estilo-X co-founder Rosario Ochoa. Nikki & Brie spend time with the women backstage to learn about how they all got involved in the project, what drew them to fashion, taking pride in their Latin roots, why representation matters, breaking down barriers for future generations, how Rosario manifested Nikki & Brie’s involvement in the event, and how they’re all supporting one another to chase their dreams.
