While nearly 20 years old, Ugly Betty continues to inspire young Latinas who work in fashion. Here are four Latinas who have refused to let any standards stop them from making their mark in fashion.

. A baby Internet sage, I observed and reblogged, always on the periphery of the conversations that captivated me but in which I felt I could never actively participate. This past August,inspired me to rewatch the show. Now that I am a writer and can shape the conversation, I have come to a realization: Betty’s fashion sense not only allowed, becoming more confident and sure of herself.

It took time, but I've found a following of people who enjoy this style of clothing. You have to push past this barrier of people putting you down for what you're wearing, but once you do, you're able to find a community of people who embrace you. Betty walked so I could run; she was the blueprint. She allowed us other girlies of color to be able to do what we want and have representation. always worked at fashion magazines, and growing up, l loved the glitz and glamour of it.

Being disabled has truly been my greatest fashion inspiration. I went from hiding my body, hiding my disability, to learning how to express myself and liberate myself and my disability. Fashion has always been, I think, a political statement in one way or another across all centuries, and maximalism allows people to reclaim themselves, reclaim autonomy over themselves in a society that’s constantly trying to oppress us, put us into boxes, and tell us that we can’t do certain things.

We're in this era where everybody is doing a lot of the same things when it comes to following trends, and it's not a bad thing, but if you want to follow trends, how do you show up as yourself? Having a personal approach is so important, because it's what makes you unique. For me, my blog became a place to talk about issues surrounding being a petite curvy girl and how difficult it can be to find certain pieces, and people were able to relate to that. Never let fear control you.
