Fashion Is Art - Anabella Bergero’s World on Silk A parking lot in Mexico might seem an unlikely starting point for a work of art. For Anabella Bergero (anabella-bergero.com), it offered an image that would become part of La Virgencita, a photographic collage that appeared on dresses and murals and in exhibitions before finding a new home on a silk scarf. Its journey reflects a simple idea behind her practice: creativity begins with looking closely, and art can accompany us far beyond the gallery. Born in Argentina and raised between Córdoba and Mexico City, Bergero has spent more than a decade bringing together fashion, contemporary art, and cultural storytelling. Her work combines Latin American pop influences, bright colors, and playful compositions. At its heart is collage, a way of bringing photographs, places, and memories together in one image. Whether she is creating clothing, installations, or murals, her belief remains the same: fashion is art. That belief began in childhood, when she staged fashion shows and imagined a future in fashion. Clothing gave her a way to turn ideas into something she could see, touch, and wear. Later, living and working in Buenos Aires, Mexico, London, New York, and Miami introduced her to new places and ways of seeing. For readers curious about the person behind these colorful compositions, Bergero’s story offers a closer look at the journey that shaped her practice.
