- Ceremonia Flags Lesser Documented Sub-Cultures: Fast-growing Latinx beauty start-up Ceremonia (founded in 2020 by New York City-based Chilean Babba Rivera, one of our 2022 Industry Insiders) commissioned six Latinx photographers for its 2023 campaign Yo Soy__ (I Am__). Their work highlights Latinx cultures and histories in the US, including Mexican-American rancheros (cowboys), NYC’s Latinx residents (more than a quarter of the city’s population) and creative Latin culture in Miami. The campaign portraits are showcased on Instagram and displayed in Ceremonia’s NYC flagship (opened in June) and its Hispanic Heritage Month pop-ups at Sephora stores in NYC, San Diego, Los Angeles and Miami.
