September 2024
Location

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, The Element Magazine proudly presents Retro Raíces: Y2K Meets Cultura! Our head stylists, Frigillana Gomez and Alyssia C., expertly fused Y2K nostalgia with rich Hispanic culture, crafting bold looks inspired by the Virgin Mary, Chicano streetwear, and national flag colors. This project honors the beauty of heritage, unity, and diversity that strengthens us.
We also wanted to highlight the incredible variety within the Hispanic community. From Mexico to Puerto Rico, our models reflect the unique ways people express their heritage, origins, and culture. Through candid shots, we showcase the individuality and beauty that make this community so vibrant.
