There was a time, a very creative time in my life, around the ending of the eighties and along the nineties , when I was fully immersed in Fashion Design.
Collection of my time as student
First as student at the first private university of Fashion Design that opened in Argentina, Centro Argentino de Estudios de la Moda, long time before Buenos Aires university started the same career. Then , after graduation , as a teacher in the same institution, and in an other institutions, and managing my own brand.

Along those years, I was learning in parallel Make up/ Hair style for Scene at Teatro Colon, a main cultural institution in Buenos Aires, Art History at National Museum of Fine Arts and at Recoleta Cultural Center.I combined all those sources of inspiration, experimenting with textures, with shapes, with colors, with volume, sometimes breaking all the rules.

Buenos Aires was experiencing an unstoppable wave of creativity, and we young artists surfed that wave exchanging disciplines. Music, Dance, Performing Arts, Poetry, Fashion, Painting and Sculpture, were fully blending all together in performances as Buenos Aires never experienced before or after.
One of my collections, that became one of the 10 submissions selected from thousands from all over Argentina at Alpargatas, Tela y Talento competition, one of the most prestigeous at that time.
My passion for painting found voice in the Fashion Design at that time.
