On October 27th, Vogue Mexico and Latin America hosted the first edition of their “Vogue Gala Day of the Dead”, paying tribute to Mexican heritage, where Grupo Anderson’s, a leading restaurant consortium in Mexico, was present with Porfirio’s, a brand known for having the best Mexican food with a contemporary twist.
The gala took place in the Historic Center of Mexico City. The aim of the event was to showcase and honor Mexican design and culture, where each corner was decorated with different concepts such as papel picado, catrinas, lion’s claw flower, and of course the famous and emblematic catrinas.
