Aquila Mendez – Valdez
Brand Ambassador
Aquila Mendez-Valdez is one of the preeminent authorities on lifestyle blogging and PR consulting in San Antonio, Texas. She launched Haute in Texas as a personal blog in 2011, and it has since grown into a community of like-minded women in pursuit of the haute life. In addition, she lends her public relations expertise to a variety of clients across the fashion, beauty, and retail industries. A passionate writer and social media enthusiast, she has partnered with an array of brands including Vogue, Prada, H&M, and Dove, among others. She also serves on the board of Fashion Group International and is the Fashion and Beauty Editor for San Antonio Woman magazine. But perhaps her greatest honor is her role of wife to her husband Orlando, and mother to her two daughters, Cora and Issa.
