Jorge García Cardenas, better known as Mitzy, (born Municipio de La Huacana, Michoacán, 1955) is a Mexican fashion designer known for his work on television.
Mitzy was born in Michoacan, Mexico among a family of peasants. His father was murdered when he was 5 years old. At 14 he went to Mexico City to work but lived on the streets for 8 months before being invited by a shady character who promised to help him but instead made him suffer sexual abuse.[1] The man was later arrested and sent to prison.
He later met Francis, a transgender vedette and drag queen. From Francis, he learned fashion design.
