Cholitas y Cholets: Redefining Architecture & Fashion in Bolivia ─ VICE

We teamed up with VICE Mexico to bring you into the cultural heart of Bolivia, where Freddy Mamani—the father of modern architecture in the country—is transforming the landscape with imposing, colorful buildings. Plus, we meet La Paz's cholitas, a group of women who don traditional garb in an effort to preserve their culture through fashion.
