Chicanjuku: Mexican designer Italia Segovia fuses Chicano culture with Harajuku to create bold, experimental fashion
MEXICO CITY, June 20 — In a leafy park in Mexico City, beside colonial era fountains and food stands, Italia Segovia's designs are turning heads, as usual. A pink ruffled dress with white lace and big bow; a high-school vibe tartan dress tied with a pale yellow shawl imprinted with Mexico's patron saint the Virgin of Guadalupe, all accentuated with loud heavy makeup. Segovia, known to her friends as Kumiko, calls her work Chicanjuku: a fusion of Mexican-American Chicano culture and Japanese Harajuku style, named after the Tokyo district renowned for its bright colored accessories, outlandish makeup, and elaborate hairstyles. 'It's like a food blender of styles,' Segovia said of her designs, which have also become a core part of her identity. Chicano style was popularised by Mexican-Americans in the US who felt out of place in both countries because of their mixed backgrounds, said Segovia. Though she is not Mexican-American, she has several relatives in the US who inspired her deep love for the style she now draws from. Segovia, who has almost 30 thousand followers on Instagram, mashes the oversize shirts, khakis and flat brim caps analogous to Chicano culture with the candy-floss fairy-tale pop of Harajuku. The makeup might include dark lining around the lips and eyeliner that emulates Japanese Geisha style.

Segovia's distinctive aesthetic has even caught the eye of admirers in Japan. In June, she made special outfits for three Japanese E-Queens, a subculture of electronic music dancers, who she connected with months earlier online. The group met up in Mexico City for a photo shoot and street dance, dressed in Segovia's outfits. 'I love how she uses texture,' said Shirendev Oyun-Erdenen, a Japanese E-Queen who dances under the name Maaya the Bee. 'Helping people feel free to experiment and not be afraid. That's what it's all about,' Segovia said. — Reuters

This will make Shakira the first artist to achieve such a number of concerts at the venue (formerly known as Foro Sol). The superstar, who has been adding dates to the tour as tickets continue to sell out, will also match Grupo Firme's record of eight shows at Estadio GNP Seguros. The band is scheduled to perform their eighth show there on June 28. The success of Shakira's monumental tour has led the 'Hips Don't Lie' singer to top Billboard's monthly Top Tours ranking for the first time, generating $32.9 million with 282,000 tickets sold in February, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. The following month, she again led the chart and broke records by earning $70.6 million from 11 reported shows — more than any artist has ever generated in a single March since the ranking's launch in 2019. Shakira's tour has left an indelible mark on Latin America, drawing more than one million fans, according to OCESA. Also this year, the Barranquilla-born star was ranked No. 1 among Billboard's Best 50 Female Latin Pop Artists of All Time.

Brad Pitt Says To ‘Learn From' Mistakes & ‘Move On' Amid Angelina Jolie Divorce Settlement
Brad Pitt recently opened up about learning from past mistakes following the latest developments in his divorce from Angelina Jolie. Now, many are curious to know what he said. At the F1 premiere in Mexico City, Brad Pitt took a moment to reflect on his journey through life's ups and downs. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on June 9, the actor shared that he has learned to embrace his mistakes as part of the process. He said, 'No matter the mistake, you know, you just learn from it and move on. It'll lead to the next success.' Pitt also emphasized the importance of personal connections to him. He said, 'Really, I think you get to my age and see how important it is to surround yourself with the people you know, the people you love, the people that love you back. Friends, family, and that's it.' These reflections came after a more in-depth interview Pitt gave to GQ in May. In that interview, he described his life today as 'contained' and 'secure.' Speaking to the outlet, the actor said that his personal life has always garnered significant media attention. He added, 'Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way.' When asked if working on the action-packed F1 film was a kind of escape from constant media attention, Pitt said he didn't see it that way. The actor said, 'It's been an annoyance I've had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do. So, it's always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that. Mostly, I feel pretty.' Pitt's personal life has remained in the spotlight, especially after his 2016 split from Angelina Jolie. Though they were declared legally single in 2019, their divorce wasn't finalized until December 2024. They share six children. Pitt is currently dating Ines de Ramon, a jewelry designer, and the two have been together since late 2022. Originally reported by Disheeta Maheshwari on ComingSoon.
