Ximena Valero is a Mexican fashion designer. She is the winner
of the 2007 Fashion Week’s Excellence in Evening Wear. Born in Mexico City, but
raised in Tijuana B.C, she was first introduced to fashion designing at the age
of only nine years old when her mom enrolled her in sewing classes. She later
studied at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) where she expanded
her ability to design clothes even more. Her major contribution to fashion was creating "transformable" clothing, which can be worn many different ways. Valero has worked with Victoria’s
Secret where she helped create the lines “Very Sexy”, “Pink”, and “Angels”. She
has also designed clothes for numerous celebrities like Katy Perry, Paulina
Rubio, Alicia Keys, Janice Dickinson, Tiuu Tulk, Heather Marks and many more.
Ximena encourages women to “express their creativity, and create trends instead
of following them."
