Urban Palais by Estela Brocado makes her Paris Fashion Week Debut - Harper's Bazaar features her collection

The world of couture turned its eyes to Paris as Urban Palais, the luxury Mexican label by Estela Brocado, debuted at Galerie Bourbon during Paris Fashion Week. At only 23, Brocado has already proven that Latin design belongs on the global stage.

Her latest collection, “Afrodita,” captured the essence of feminine strength, sophistication, and allure. Each look celebrated women who build their own power... confident, romantic, and unapologetically bold. Through fluid silhouettes, feathers, and glimmering accents, the designer merged sensuality with elegance in a way that felt effortlessly modern.

“Fashion is about identity,” Brocado shares. “It’s how we express confidence and beauty in our own skin.”

Estela launched her label in 2022 with the goal of elevating feminine beauty and ensuring every woman feels confident and radiant in their own skin, way and identity. 

“Nothing is by chance. Fashion is so fast it’s easy to get lost in the rhythm, but for me it’s about building a brand with identity,” Brocado tells Harper’s BAZAAR Ecuador where she was featured right after debuting her show at Paris Fashion Week.

Fueled by passion and artistry, Urban Palais has risen swiftly from Veracruz to the global stage. In 2024, the brand’s Afrodita collection captivated New York Fashion Week, earning praise from celebrities and top models including Camila Sodi, Angelique Boyer, Bárbara de Regil, and Loreto Peralta, who have all graced covers and red carpets wearing the label’s designs.

On September 30, Urban Palais made its highly anticipated Paris debut with a couture presentation at Galerie Bourbon, steps from the Arc de Triomphe. The show was more than a milestone... it was a declaration that Mexican fashion holds both the artistry and strength to command the world’s most prestigious runways.

From New York to Paris, Urban Palais continues to redefine what it means to create with purpose. With its mix of passion, precision, and cultural pride, the brand is positioning itself as one of Latin America’s most exciting couture voices.
