Catrina Revolución is part of iLaCatrina®’s Las Revolucionarias Collection, where art, fashion, and visual storytelling bring the history and spirit of the Mexican Revolution of 1910 into motion.
The icon wears an original ensemble by renowned Mexican designer Armando Mafud, featuring his hand painted work “Revolucionarios.” Across the skirt, revolutionary figures become part of the garment itself, transforming the design into a moving canvas inspired by the people, struggles, and ideals that reshaped Mexico in the early twentieth century.
The complete look is documented in Mafud’s retrospective book Por Siempre México, where the ensemble was modeled by Mexican actress and model Eugenia Cauduro. The piece reflects Mafud’s distinctive approach to celebrating Mexican history and identity through hand painted fashion.
Within the visual world of Catrina Revolución, the ensemble also evokes the women who participated in the Revolution as organizers, nurses, messengers, political thinkers, and combatants. Figures remembered through the legacy of the soldaderas and Adelitas became essential to the revolutionary movement, while women such as Carmen Serdán, Adela Velarde, Juana Belén Gutiérrez de Mendoza, and Petra Herrera represent the many ways women took part in Mexico’s transformation.
Reimagined through the visual storytelling of iLaCatrina®, Mafud’s original creation becomes the foundation of Catrina Revolución, connecting couture with the courage, conflict, ideas, and voices that defined a turning point in Mexican history.
Through Catrina Revolución, iLaCatrina® honors the revolutionary spirit of Mexico and the women and men whose actions helped transform the nation.
