But first, let’s talk about the terms Latinx and Hispanic. 

In US English, Hispanic refers to people and traditions that are linked to Spanish-speaking countries, while Latinx is a gender-neutral term that refers to people and traditions linked to Latin American countries. While there is a lot of overlap, the two terms are not interchangeable. Hispanic does not include Latin Americans from non Spanish speaking countries like Brazil. Latinx does not include people from Spain. 

For this collection, we’ve chosen to include both Latinx and Hispanic designers in order to honor both contributions to US American culture.
