Mexican Fashion Designer Héctor Terrones Dies as Cause Remains in Dispute

A corsetry innovator and television collaborator, he was mourned widely after Fashion Week México confirmed his death.

Overview

  • Beatriz Calles, director of Fashion Week México, publicly confirmed Terrones’s death on November 1, prompting industry tributes and condolences.
  • Publicist Álex Rubí reported a sudden heart attack as the cause, while a journalist cited complications from a bacterial infection, and no official family medical statement has resolved the discrepancy.
  • A wake was held Saturday at J. García López funeral home in Pedregal, with details shared by colleagues on social media.
  • Terrones was known for corsetry, collaborations on Televisa programs such as Hoy and Vida TV, and a 2008 runway presentation at the Louvre in Paris.
  • Days before his death, media noted an October 22 request by Mexico City prosecutors for his arrest on alleged sexual abuse; outlets have not reported any link between the legal case and his death.
