- The Modern Era Collection opens a new chapter on beloved historical characters with a fresh take on their original fashions. Josefina's 1824 camisa gets a breezy update as a flowy top, paired with vibrant red ruffle-hem shorts in the original floral pattern. Her long hair is now styled in a French front braid, and hoop earrings add a golden glint. Colorful primroses bloom on her handbag and cowgirl boots weaving cherished memories of Mamá's garden with a modern look.
