Fashion Week

Emprendedores de Nuestra Tierra,Carlo Di Domenico and Maria Pryor are totally different designers and each of them represents part of the argentine soul and fashion.

Paris Fashion Week March 2012, these 3 Argentine designers came to do a catwalk presentation and a cocktail after show at the Argentine Embassy. This was the occasion to discover their talents.

Emprendedores de nuestra tierra is a project from the Social Development Minister that help artisans to improve their handcraft and start a business. These 12 artisans are from the most remote places in the mountains in the north of Argentina and it is beautiful that they could show their ponchos and jewels at a Paris show.
Carlo Di Domenico, aka Argentine Roberto Cavalli, loves to empower his woman with wonderful dresses all embroidered at this atelier. He is one of the Argentine starʼs favourites when they have to walk on red carpets.
Maria Pryor is one of the favorites designers in Argentina for Abraao Ferreira. He personally asks for her to be part of the group showing in Paris because he could see an haute couture touch in her work : "Fairy tale gowns for an special woman to feel like a princess. All hand made with the most exclusives materials and fabrics, total luxury! After the show she sold the whole collection to Opening Ceremony.
