O ur fashion shoot plays on contagious insanity or shared delusion. What better place to share such a divertissement than the 17th-century Ex-Convento Desierto de los Leones in the south of Mexico City, a cloistered monastery for Los Carmelitas Descalzos for almost 200 years. The monks and nuns lived within the walls in eternal silence, discipline, and penance.
