The most important event for the Argentine fashion industry, BAFWeek, brings together the most established brands in the fashion world and the independent designers, for the launching of their Autumn/ Winter 2012-2013 collections. BAFWeek 2012 will feature daily fashion shows, and around 30 showrooms where designers will showcase their creations in an exclusive space, including accessories, shoes, bags, jewels, and men's and women's clothes. As always, BAFWeek supports UBA students through the Seed Plot contest so they can show their first collections, together with the famous designers. From February 28th to March 2nd
Neto is one of the most important figures in the current Brazilian art scene. He is the heir to the Brazilian art movement known as Neo-Concreto, which for the first time places the spectator at the centre of the creative action, thereby converting physical interaction into a key aspect of his work. The spectator is invited to touch, smell and enter the space created. His production is situated somewhere between sculpture and installation. We strongly recommend this exhibition.
