There is such an insane abundance of Great Mexican Design,
that it's unfortunate it so often doesn't get it's due.
Expect several future posts on this Country - but for today it's all
about Acapulco.
Bold Statements, Strong Oversized Silhouettes,
Casual and Comfortable - these are just some of the key
elements you'll immediately notice when delving into this
Design Style. To get you going, go ahead and click on
the Elvis song below from "Fun in Acapulco"....
and enjoy his fancy footwork while playing
the organ, yes, I said organ!
