About Me

Fashion accessories designer www.jaleajalea.com
I like dark chocolate, sweet ginger and tapioca, rosemary and lavender... my orchid Sophia, cranberry juice and dark beer / number 18 / soft pink + red, white + white... cotton and silk, soft linen and felt... angora goats and bunnies, (narwhals), hummingbirds and yellow butterflies... "Handmade in Mexico", embroidery and vintage lace... ancient ruins, fossil hunting (counting tiles...), heart shaped stones and cloud formations, a hidden beach, where the river joins the sea, the smell of wet soil after the rain... and then a rainbow (opacity 60%), April's sunset, white sand and vanilla / wind energy /... a piano song about a lost forgotten dream, beautiful eyes staring, my messy hair, secrets... the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind...
...(...) I love forever many times just one / I love freely / I love especially / I love separately / I love scandalously / I love similarly obscurely uniquely / HOPINGLY / I love I shall love...
Designs her first line of accessories in 2001, experimenting with a variety of materials including industrial surplus. Graduates with bachelors in Communication Sciences in 2002. Co-founds the company “Grupo Rosa Rojo.” where the brand Rosahigo is developed from 2003 to 2005. Under this trademark Tatiana designs two accessory lines, one mass-produced and the second a sophisticated line of unique pieces, mainly small leather bags, meticulously composed by hand. Later a garment line is added which featured images embroidered by craftsmen in Oaxaca. Fashion editors quickly absorb the designs and publish them regularly in magazines such as Elle and Glamour. In Fall 2004 Rosahigo is invited to present its collection at the accessories salon for Fashion Week Mexico and inaugurates the showroom in Monterrey the following year, in an assortment of its own design with pieces of other local artists. In 2006 Tatiana set out an independent project 100% mexican: JALEA JALEA in which accessories and garments are created using native and recycled materials by combining craftmanship techniques from different regions and modern technology. Inspired by the clash of social classes and culture, the possibilities inherent in materials, decorative techniques and color, Tatiana’s designs are an exploration, a debate between aesthetics and the social context that surrounds her.
Commissions (11.06) Produces a knitted handbag with natural fibers and plastic wastes for the Lacoste 12.12 project in Mexico City. Forty artists, designers and celebrities were invited to produce pieces inspired by the brand to be auctioned at a fund raising event organized by Lacoste.
