Description:
Alejandro Glatt’s collaboration with Spenglish celebrates the vibrant fusion of bilingual and bicultural identities through unique mixed media artwork and exclusive fashion collections. This project includes the launch of a baseball jersey collection and a special World Cup 2024 Mexico collection, both reflecting the dynamic intersection of English and Spanish-speaking cultures.
