PROJECTS
ST. ARTA x CHITO BANDA
From Mexico With Love 🥀 Born in Ciudad Juárez, Chito Banda comes from a Chicano family split between Mexico and the States. He keeps it real — shooting his people, his neighbourhood, his everyday cotorreo. His style’s pure “calle pero elegante,” mixing the rough with the refined. What started with family photos turned into raw stories from the hood — full of heart, hustle, and the soul of Mexico’s streets. Chito kindly answered our questions in both English and Spanish to make sure his words came through without any mistranslation.

THE 'AZTEK' SHIRT
Our second in-house release was inspired by the studio’s passion for the people, culture, and traditions of Mexico. The shirt pays homage to the legendary Nike T90 silhouette, an icon from what many consider as the golden era of football shirt design. The studio also drew reference from classic Mexico kits featuring Aztec-inspired detailing — most notably the famed 1998 design worn by legends such as Blanco, Hernández, and Jorge Campos. The shoot took place in a disused chapel, featuring stunning stained glass windows and crumbling stonework, chosen to reflect the deep religious beliefs and practices of Mexico’s largely Catholic population.
