(La jefa): A 2022 Spanish psychological thriller on Netflix that explores power dynamics between a boss and her employee Birds of Passage

: There has been a resurgence in incorporating traditional elements into modern fashion. Designers might use the pollera as inspiration for contemporary clothing lines, blending traditional aesthetics with modern styles.
In Bolivia, particularly in the Andean regions, traditional clothing plays a vital role in expressing cultural identity and heritage. Among the most iconic and culturally significant pieces of clothing are the "pollera" and the associated identity of "cholita."
One cannot discuss without acknowledging the Colombian telenovela El Secretario (2011). The plot was radical: a timid, stuttering secretary (Emilio) falls in love with his hyper-competent, aggressive boss (Antonia). For 120 episodes, Emilio operates literally and figuratively bajo sus polleras —admiring her power, enduring her tantrums, and submitting to her leadership.
Reggaeton and Regional Mexican music have also embraced the motif. In 2023, Karol G’s album Mañana Será Bonito featured visualizers where male dancers perform behind her, literally crouched under oversized skirts. Meanwhile, corridos tumbados by artists like Natanael Cano reference the phrase as a badge of loyalty: "Ando bajo sus polleras, pero no soy ningún cualquiera" (I’m under her skirt, but I’m no nobody).
: Once a sign of poverty, a high-quality pollera is now a status symbol. Wealthier "Cholas Paceñas" may spend thousands on specialized wool and silk fabrics for their skirts. Anatomy of the Traditional Outfit
