At Mexico Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2025, Francisco Cancino unveiled his 012 collection, La Última Ciudad—a stirring, multi-layered homage to Mexico City that serves as both an emotional farewell and a cultural reckoning. With this introspective presentation, Cancino brings a pivotal chapter of urban exploration to a close, transforming memory into material form.

Rooted in artisanal mastery, the collection bridges indigenous heritage with architectural modernism. Hand-embroidered details, traditional weaves, and region-specific textiles lend soul to sharply constructed silhouettes, creating garments that are as meditative as they are meticulously crafted. The juxtaposition of ancestral craftsmanship and contemporary tailoring evokes a city suspended between past and future.

Beyond aesthetics, La Última Ciudad is a narrative woven through collaboration—built in partnership with over 45 indigenous communities across Mexico. Their voices and techniques echo through every stitch, imbuing the collection with authenticity, respect, and depth. It is this synergy of cultural legacy and ethical design that anchors Cancino’s vision.

A vibrant palette—infused with tones reminiscent of Mexico City’s kaleidoscopic streets—intersects with grounded, textural finishes. The result is a body of work that doesn’t just clothe, but remembers. These are garments as memoirs, shaped by resilience, movement, and identity.

With 012: La Última Ciudad, Francisco Cancino offers more than a collection—he delivers a contemplative monument to place, transformation, and the eternal city that lives within its people.
