Galilea Montijo: From México to the World

Photographer: @fernando.dumas

This season, fashion is no longer decoration — it is declaration. Galilea Montijo emerges in this editorial as a living canvas of Mexican artistry, embodying strength, heritage, and reinvention. With every braid, gown, and shimmer, she becomes a narrative of power. Shot by Fernando Dumas, styled & creatively directed by Marmol Viejo, with makeup by Waithsman and hair by Jorge Beltrán Hair & Aldo EK, the story is not just fashion — it is manifesto.

Sculptural Burgundy Elegance

Galilea steps into the spotlight in a draped burgundy gown with golden detailing, its folds sculpted to perfection like architectural velvet. The cut elongates her figure, cinching at the waist with a gilded accent that glimmers like armor.

Her hair, crafted by @jorgebeltranhair, is swept into a sleek high bun, mirror-shine smooth, framing her shoulders like a crown of discipline.

Her makeup by @waithsman is refined: a nude satin lip, precision contour, and a soft smoky gaze. Every stroke emphasizes structure, letting elegance breathe in simplicity.

Concept: Old Hollywood reimagined — minimalism elevated to opulence. This look whispers power rather than shouts it, proving that restraint can be the ultimate drama.

Crystal Poem

Wearing a crystal-encrusted gown by @iann_dey, Galilea becomes a prism of light, the dress refracting brilliance with every turn. Its embroidery cascades like frozen fire, shimmering poetry in motion.

Armor of Light

In another gown by @iann_dey, Galilea transforms into a futuristic goddess, clad in a metallic bustier with a beaded skirt that gleams like a shield of light.

Her hair, crafted sleek and straight by @aldo.ek, is as sharp as the gown’s metallic lines.

Her makeup by @waithsman is luminous armor: bronzed lids, high-glow skin, and a nude lip with quiet confidence.
