Fashion in Argentina "the latest cultural trend is to be unique. to be part of the exquisite VIP section of society lays on the fact that those who belong are not mass manufactured, not mass consumers, but elite consumers, one of a kind people. the outside appearance of a celebrity cannot be now purchased at a department store, for they customize their look, their style, themselves. nowadays clothing and fashion are approaching this conception of production. each item, each shirt, skirt, sock, shoe are kind of unique but not in a couture way, but in a more casual way." -- bob frassinetti So Fashion and Desoign is a big city option here in Buenos AIres, we'll take you shopping in Buenos Aires to those incredible Argentinean Design and European stores, where you'll be able to buy those exquisite designs in local pesos, sight seeing will be organized regarding your interests, so there's no need for you to walk through the city like a regular tourist, but to visit those incredible places you love and have an excellent time out and get to know the city like we do, like a local, a native.

However this never took place, and during the 1990s this incredible building was turned into a shopping mall.
