Señoritas con Mandil is a second instalment for Pattrica Lipatapanlop, an independent writer and photographer. The book follows her journey through vibrant Mexican culture, starting from Mexico City towards the Istmo de Tehuantepec.
The book is divided into four main sections – the newspaper, the journey, the market, and the letter, reflecting on each stage of the author’s expedition and self-discovery.
Patterns on plastic table mats, colours and embroidery on traditional clothes were used as main visual elements.
