POST BY DOLORIES ADAMS
From: IMG Fashion
Buenos Aires, April 2011- On March 22, 2011 the Buenos Aires city
government debuted Buenos Aires Runway at the Metropolitan
Design Center (CMD) located in the traditional Barracas
neighborhood. Designed to showcase local designers, last month's
inaugural edition put some of the finest Argentinean styles on
display for the Fall-Winter 2011 collections.
This first edition of Buenos Aires Runway served as a project
platform to celebrate Argentinean fashion as a new creative
field, as well as reinforce its integration into the industry
and economy.
The second edition of Buenos Aires Runway will include several
new and exciting additions. The event, to be held in Fall 2011,
will feature business rounds with buyers around the country,
various conference cycles and a showroom similar to the main
fashion event in Latin America.
In all future editions of Buenos Aires Runway, new talent will
continue to be selected, with the goal of offering these upcoming
designers the professional tools and base to establish adequate
connections within the local and international market.
With help from prestigious IMG Fashion, Buenos Aires Runway
seeks to become a part of the international fashion calendar
while also establishing the city of Buenos Aires as a symbol of
design and fashion.
