Giacobbe Spring 2014

Rising star from Argentina, Marcelo Giacobbe showed a clean, shiny collection at the Argentine Designer showcase at Mercedes-Benz Fashion week.

A pretty group of white and platinum, Giacobbe Spring 2014 was a mix of airy suits and sexy short dresses.  Cloud-like ruffles or sleek silver embellishments gave a luxurious touch to Marcelo's collection.  The overall effect was what you expect to see a heroine of a futuristic sci-fi movie might wear.  Perhaps this was the inspiration.

This fashion show marked the American debut of the Buenos Aires based designer.  The designer has won multiple fashion awards and his studies included stints in Denmark. In 2014 he added Uruguay as a country his collection reached.

Good luck Marcelo!

Fabian Zita Spring 2014

Space age style was offered up from Argentine designer Fabian Zita at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. The collection offered up clean, flattering lines in contemporary silhouettes. The fabrics were semi sheer on bright white and sunny yellow. The collection was tied together with metallic silver handbags and jewelry. The models were given an alien vibe with metallic pointed hats that were chicly tilted.

Fabian Zita has made the label an International presence. In addition to showing in New York, Zita shows in Milan and collaborated with Indian fashion organizations to promote Argentinian style as well. As a successful ambassador for the fashion industry, could the U.N. use a makeover as well?
