… And talent goes back to its roots.
An official communication on December 8th by Ing. Adán Sotelo Ortíz, National Director of Miss Mexico Organization, announced that Leonardo D’Almagro is one of the official jewelry designers for the national winners of the Miss Mexico Organization.
Miss Mexico is a national beauty pageant in Mexico which selects the country’s delegates for international beauty contests (Miss World, Mister World, Miss Supranational, and Miss United Continents). In association with Telemax and TV Azteca , the Miss México pageant is directed by Hugo Castellanos and is one of the biggest pageants in Mexico; thirty two women (from thirty one states and Mexico D.F.) compete for the prestigious title of Miss México or Miss World Mexico. The national winners represent the country of Mexico internationally.
Titleholders:
2016 – Ana Girault Contreras

Miss World Mexico, Ana Girault Contreras, is representing Mexico in The Miss World 2016. She is well known in the fashion world, has a bachelor’s degree in Communications, and is also a great humanitarian. Miss Girault selected pieces from Leonardo D’Almagro’s jewelry line to complement her looks; she said, “I love his beautiful pieces… they have the perfect balance of being both fashionable and timeless”.
Although I am not into pageant contests nor I think they represent the women empowerment I would like to see more often, I am happy Leonardo’s work will be hight lighted.
