As a reflection of the growing fashion, art, and music culture from Mexico City is the publication called Marvin—“Revista de Culto”--which is known as one of the cooler mags on the market. Covering top musicians, lifestyle, fashion, and art, Marvin’s booth at the 1st Urban Fashion Fest in Mexico City was not only the place to hang-out and get drinks, but also the hipster location for people checking out various artists’ work.
On hanging wooden cube displays, Marvin hosted an exhibition that illustrated top artists in graffiti and street from a variety of cultures, including Mexico. Hundreds of viewers were able to walk through the hanging wooden art display and get up-close to each piece to check-out various brush strokes of work on display. What’s interesting about the artwork, and fashion in general from the street and urban scenes, is that there is a connection with folklore. In this case, many art pieces displayed people, characters, or messages that told a story—just as much street art does in general.
Marvin’s exhibition, like the magazine itself, indicates a strong street fashion and music culture, capturing what’s happening in the burgeoning culture of Mexico. Check it out.
