Karina Díaz is a leading figure in the world of sustainable fashion and the promotion of sustainable development in Latin America.

Since 2019, she has played a crucial role in transforming the fashion landscape in Costa Rica and beyond, driving innovative initiatives and establishing strategic collaborations to promote more responsible practices in the industry. One of her most outstanding achievements has been the reinvention of Costa Rica Fashion Week under the concept of "Forever Green Design." This initiative has positioned the event as an international benchmark for sustainable fashion, integrating eco-design principles and sustainable practices in all its facets, from the selection of designers to production and promotion. Karina Díaz has been a tireless advocate for environmental sustainability, working to make Costa Rica the first country in Latin America to produce its own energy on the catwalks from renewable sources. Her leadership has been instrumental in implementing policies and projects that encourage the use of clean energy and the reduction of the carbon footprint.

She has also pioneered the creation of the first "Smart Fashion Forest" - a unique space that combines biodiversity with technology to promote sustainable practices in the fashion industry. This forest not only serves as an example of how fashion can coexist in harmony with the environment, but also acts as a research and education center for designers and consumers.
