180º Shop opened in 2011 on Colima in Roma Norte, Mexico City, with the stated aim of turning the mass consumption of fashion through 180 degrees. It runs as a concept store and as a platform for Mexican designers. The shop describes itself as a meeting point for different creative expressions, and as a base for the sustainable growth of a local and conscious creative industry.
The floor carries clothing for women and for men, with a children's range alongside. Footwear, accessories and furniture share the room with art pieces, most of them from Mexican labels. The jewellery case holds rings and necklaces alongside earrings and bracelets. Bags and scarves fill the accessory wall, and caps sit there with hats and glasses.
An art and objects section holds ceramics and posters, together with books and notebooks. The shop issues printed pieces of its own, among them a poster of Acapulco chairs and a notebook printed with a chair pattern. Labels stocked include VEJA, 1/8 Takamura, Sophie Simone, Mapoesie and Flensted. The house works with museums and with retailers in Mexico and abroad. Bernardo Lopez heads the business, and the shop sells online as well as at Colima 180.
Mexico City fashion house Carla Fernández designs clothing, jewelry and accessories in collaboration with Indigenous Mexican artisans and traditional textile techniques. Collections sell through the online store and at the brand's boutiques in Mexico City and Mérida.
