We’ll never ever get used to the fact that our Queen Selena Quintanilla is no longer with us. I still listen to her records which take me back to those wonderful memories from my childhood when I used to sing along to her songs, imitate her moves, and play the cds over and over again. She, without a doubt, became a music icon, the face of Tex-Mex, and an emblem of the Latinx identity, one that we proudly love to shout out to the world.
In the past years, there’s been a revival of her music, her fashion, and her whole persona, so brands all over the world have hoisted her iconic persona in endless types of products that range from toys, album reissues and merch, to makeup and fashion items for all the Tejana Queens out there.
This time, international fast fashion retailer Forever 21 has paired up with Selena’s family and image guardians to celebrate the 22nd anniversary of the iconic biopic Selena (1997), which launched the career of Jennifer Lopez, to create a huge collection inspired on her. The White Rose Collection includes more than twenty items in a price range that goes from 7 to 40 dollars. This Selena inspired collection includes pieces that may have her face, her lyrics, or are simply re-adaptations of her impeccable style. The best part of this collection is that it is designed to fit and suit everybody, so no one is left out!

This isn’t the first time the brand releases a collection inspired in Selena. Back in 2017, they released a set of t-shirts that had her face on them. However, the White Rose Collection is definitely the biggest and most creative so far. You can find pieces such as classic tees, sweatshirts, pants, dresses and even her iconic beanies and caps, bustiers, and accessories such as earrings and belts that will give you that “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” vibe you have waiting for.
