A REVIEW
Salaises Zamarripa’s runway show at VFW was an ethereal journey into the realm of dreams. Inspired by the surrealist art of Remedios Varo, the collection titled “The Creation of a Dream” transported viewers to a metaphysical and dreamlike environment.
I knew little about Remedios Varo before doing some research for this article. Varo was a surrealist artist who used magic, alchemy, the subconscious, and the world of dreams to inspire her work. Varo is an artist who has immense fame in Mexico, and while she was Spanish by birth, her influence in Mexico is noteworthy. One piece of information about Varo that might have influenced this collection was that Varo herself designed costumes for theatrical productions. She even made her clothing, believing tailors did not know a woman’s anatomy and figure. Her sewing machine held a place of honor at the 1983 retrospective of her work in Mexico City.

Sensuality and dreams are often related, and Danisz Salaises Zamarripa knows how to weave a story that includes both. Dreams are delegated to the night, and so is this collection. The first outfit on the catwalk set the tone for a steamy, sexy showcase; a male model in a sheer top with his chest exposed and translucent sequin trousers moved to the pounding beat. The clothing is predominantly black with white and burnt orange. Fabrics are shiny, textured, and sparkling. There are sheers, satins, sequins, and shaggy shearling. This all adds up to a collection full of drama. Danisz understands the human form, considered cuts are meant to both conceal and exalt the woman's shape. His tailored jackets are razor-sharp. The collection recalled the early days of Versace in cut and spirit but looked utterly contemporary in proportions and fabrications.

Danisz Salaises Zamarripa is most impressive when he's at his most creative. He uses images from Varo's artwork on a mesh tee shirt and embroidered on the backs of jackets. The details include flames on a men's bolero cut blazer, golden buttons, brooches, and ribbon closures on corset backs. A sheer maxi dress glistens with sequins and golden discs covering the nipples. These clothes have a red carpet spectacular spirit with a nightclub soul. The clients of Salaises Zamarripa are celebrities and stars and those seeking the spotlight. What stands out about this collection is that Salaises Zamarripa has a clear point of view; it is dramatic and sensual.
IN CONCLUSION
I met the team from SALAISES ZAMARRIPA during the days before their runway show. They are young, vibrant, and sexy. The team knows its brand and knows how to work with the crowd and the media. They built up anticipation for their show, and they didn't disappoint. I left after their show high on great fashion and showmanship—that's what a fashion show should do.
