La Troupe at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Mexico 2017

In 2017, La Troupe appeared in the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Mexico program, bringing a brand born in the Riviera Maya to one of the country’s most visible fashion platforms. Two publications from that period preserve the record: FashionUnited and El Universal.

This text is part of La Troupe’s historical archive. Its purpose is not to reinterpret the runway from today’s perspective, but to connect original sources that remain online with the brand’s current history.

An edition shaped by national context

FashionUnited México covered that edition as a moment of reactivation for Mexico’s creative industry after the September 2017 earthquakes. Its participant list included La Troupe alongside Julia y Renata, Kris Goyri, Lorena Saravia, Lydia Lavín, Vero Díaz and other Mexican designers and labels.

For La Troupe, that presence positioned a proposal developed in Tulum within a national conversation about contemporary Mexican design.

La Troupe in El Universal’s recap

El Universal also included La Troupe in its recap of Mexico Fashion Week. The outlet grouped the brand with other designers presenting key pieces for the following season and highlighted local talent’s commitment to the country.

From Tulum to a national platform

La Troupe’s history has always been linked to the Riviera Maya, but a brand does not build reach only from its place of origin. Fashion Week created contact with buyers, press, other labels and audiences in other cities.

That path helps explain the brand’s later development: from boutiques in the Riviera Maya to new collections, collaborations, editorial presence and, years later, an international presentation at COTERIE New York.

Why this mention matters today

A well-preserved press archive works as external evidence of trajectory. It does not replace the story told by the brand, but complements it with third-party documents published when the events happened.

Fashion Week 2017 belongs to La Troupe’s transition from a deeply local identity toward a broader presence within Mexican fashion.
