"  Over guac and jalapeno margaritas at Los Dados last night, I had the opportunity to meet and talk everything from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to subtle versus overt sexiness (we both favor the former) with 26 year old Mexico City-based designer, Paola Hernandez. In town this week to oversee the look book shoot for her upcoming SS10 collection, Hernandez, in a shocking pink satin dress, oversized gold frames and double-finger rings of her own design, was remarkably calm given how few weeks are left before fashion&amp;#039;s big dance.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s basically done,&amp;quot; she told me of her new RTW collection (her sixth), which includes handbags, shoes, and jewelry in addition to full lines of both men&amp;#039;s and women&amp;#039;s wear. Although, after a short pause and bite of mole-topped tamale, she did admit that seeing her new collection on film for the first time made her realize she was a little anxious to get home &amp;quot;and add a few more pieces.&amp;quot;  The young Central Saint Martin&amp;#039;s graduate, whose formal education includes fashion design, traditional Milanese shoemaking and philosophy, has already shown her part-unisex, part-old Hollywood inspired clothing in her native Mexico City as well as London, Paris and New York. What can we expect from her come September? Well, I don&amp;#039;t want to give too much away, but expect the perfect pegged skinny trouser, a signature pinky ring, and a cool take on models as a method for social change.
