EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — In the spirit of Día de los Muertos, multiple Catrinas made the El Paso International Airport their walkway on Thursday, Oct. 30, showcasing the beauty and richness of Mexican culture.
The Catrina Parade, in collaboration with Border Heritage Magazine and UMC Foundation of Mexico, featured multiple Catrinas from Bazzar Models in elegant gowns designed by Mayra Flores and styled by makeup artist Estefanía Villa, according to the news release by the City of El Paso.
The parade was in honor of José Guadalupe Posada, the creator of La Catrina. The famous skeleton woman with a feathered hat art has now become one of the biggest symbols associated with Día de los Muertos.
