Mila’s aquatic life
For this Summer, Guadalupe Teigeiro and Valentina Karnoubi created a collection inspired by marine life. Its prints emulate colorful school of fishes and oysters, sea vegetation, and crabs, and the materials chosen include, among others, tweed, linen and silk dyed in pastel colors such as lilac, light-blue, light-green, nude and white.
The designs of the collection are inspired by 60s and 70s and this can be seen in the typologies and the styling of the looks, which include kerchiefs, extra large accessories, and simple cut items in girly designs.
Mila’s items can be easily adapted to different contexts; short sleeve shirts, pantacourts and bralettes are some of the stars of the collection, as well as dresses, which adds elegance.

They have always pushed Argentine fashion to better and more modern places, and this time they invited one thousand friends of the brand, celebs and press among others, to the launch of the collection “One Love” under a different concept of fashion show. At 21:00 and with an introduction of SZA song “Supermodel”, a 40×8 screen was turned and the first virtual catwalk of Jazmin Chebar kicked off.

After Jazmin’s great show, Bianca Siconolfi and Julia Ramos brand had to redouble efforts to close BAFWeek. To achieve that and together with Adidas they put on an incredible setting in Bank of Black, at Reconquista 100 where, among cages and pile of dollars, were celebs such as Emila Attias, Toto Ferro and Esteban Lamothe. And there they launched their new collection, “Chapter One”, inspired by sport uniforms and the aesthetics of the film Kill Bill, directed by Quentin Tarantino.
In the middle of the party, thieves-models struck the night with sporty bags and balaclavas to show crop tops with cuts of colors, sporty glitter outfits inspired by boxing and motocross, and transparent nets and reptilian prints typical of Mamba.
