More than a dozen shows from various designers and brands were staged during the three-day BAF-Week.

Mariana Cortez, designer, said, "This is a meeting for brands and designers. It is important because the designers here are those who are setting the trend in Argentina with their own style. It's crucial we meet twice a year to share our work and see where we are going".

Aside from promoting the trends, the event also presents an event for emerging designers called "The Seed Plot".

Mariana Da Piano, designer, said, "Each season we are improving. More designers and brands are joining the fashion week and each of us is producing better material as we mature."

Winners from BAF-Week's competition displayed their lines of clothing with complete staging, including choreography, music, makeup and styling. This was made possible thanks to the support of Paseo Alcorta, who is the driving force of the event and its main sponsor.
