When was the first edition of the Latin Fashion Awards?

Our History

The inaugural Latin Fashion Awards took place in Washington, D.C., USA, in 2011, marking a pivotal moment in the celebration of Latin American talent in fashion. Founded and produced by Andres Aquino, also known for Couture Fashion Week, the first ceremony brought together prominent figures from the global fashion scene and diplomatic community.

Among the distinguished guests were world-renowned Spanish fashion designer Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada and her daughter Cozima, as well as the Dominican Republic’s ambassador and his wife Berta. Acclaimed designers such as Maurizio Alberino also participated, helping to establish the Latin Fashion Awards as a prestigious platform from its very first edition.
