The collection offers a variety of silhouettes, including long and short dresses, oversized pants, bodysuits, crop tops, miniskirts, and asymmetrical blouses. De la Garsa emphasized his desire to cater to diverse tastes and ages, stating, "I want to dress not only one woman, I want to dress the mother, the daughter, the granddaughter, the grandmother, if she is a super daring grandmother." The pieces are crafted from a wide range of textiles, from brocades and sheer fabrics to leather, chiffon, velvet, and denim.

Complementing the apparel are accessories such as embroidered berets, thigh-high boots, platform shoes, fishnet stockings, butterfly-shaped glasses, wide leather belts, and leather jackets. De la Garsa, who recently became the first Mexican and Latin American designer to present a collection at the Cannes Film Festival, has seen his creations worn by influencers and actresses. The 85th Intermoda, considered Latin America's largest fashion business exhibition, is taking place in Guadalajara until July 24, attracting approximately 29,000 buyers and showcasing over a thousand brands.
